It's a nice park, a very nice park.
It probably should be, since we're paying more for a w/e site than beachfront in Florida, South Carolina and Missippi. This is the highest-priced state park we've stayed at. And it's not like there are options.
We're here for Mom to visit relatives.
So we're told that if someone leaves the FHU walkup sites we can move. We watched the guy in D24 pull off his site and I was at the office before he got to the checkout and the site was taken. A non-reservable walkup site. Found out a park host was sitting on it saving it for someone and had registered them before the occupant had checked out.
Another woman was at the office complaining about the exact same thing; a park host sitting on a site in his four-wheeler saving the site for someone.
So we have at least two park hosts saving walkup sites and checking folks in even before the previous occupants had checked out. How is that reasonable?
Yes we'll have a chat with the park manager who happens to be Mom's cousin. But the point is the shoddy treatment of customers. We've never gotten the "and the horse you rode in on" treatment at any state park before.
Thanks for allowing me to ventilate.
