That would be my first question when making a reservation. Why make reservations and then find out they don't allow TC's when you arrive?

It's the way it is. We are a niche group. On the plus side, there are lots of RV parks out there if you need to stay in one.

I posted something similar on the Lance forum about this. I was turned away at Bay Bayou RV Resort Tampa , Fl. They said no truck campers per management. Looking out their office window I could see several $5000.00 travel trailers and a few worn out class C"s and some newer class A"s . I guess a $100k plus truck /camper combo doesn't meet their requirement for RV"s. Do any of you experience this a lot ?

Sorry you were treated this way, Chris. Their loss for not accepting your setup. We have traveled across this country a coupe of times and recently returned from an Alaska trip. Never once were we refused at a CG for having a TC.

Commercial / privately owned CGs are able to make their own rules. If we don't like those rules, we can choose not to frequent their establishments. I think after having made a reservation, and their staff not explaining at the time of the reservation that TCs were not accepted, they should have made an exception to the rule in your case. Especially after observing that your TC was an up-to-date set up that anyone would be proud to own. The CG in question was partially at fault and should have accommodated you.

Very snotty and a good place to steer away from. My opinion. Worth what you paid for it.

Thanks for sharing.

Prejudice. Snooty people dont want TC among them and are too stupid to realize that many rigs are over $100K. Urinate on them

Per their website:

Bay Bayou RV Resort serves motorcoaches, travel trailers and fifth wheel trailers no older than 15 years old, in excellent condition. Sorry, but we are unable to accommodate tents, truck campers, folding camping trailers (pop ups) and any vehicles with canvas sides.

I've never been turned away at a commercial rv park but I don't frequent them. The reason we have a TC is to get away from large concentrations of people.

Some real snooty park owner! Have visited a MH only park and been turned away.
