I've been in that situation although not to the tune of $200.00 bucks it was more like $75.00.
Nevertheless The situation was on my end not the CG's. I had to pay
the consequences which I was not happy about but I understood
How would camper feel if the CG called 48 hours out to say your reservation was cancelled by the CG due to illness?
I don't think most would find it acceptable. It is a 2 way street
Sorry, but that has happened here is WA when our fires burned campgrounds and campers were told to stay away. And if an owner called me and said they had to close becaues they were sick, I would hope that I was big enough to understand and make other plans
I'm not talking a fire or natural phenomenon. Obviously you can't go camping if there is a forest fire.:S
I may also understand how illness can effect a mom & pop operation.
However most CG I frequent are not Mom and Pop places. If Frontier town in OC,MD. or Pirateland in MB, or Raystown Lake Resort in PA called me at the last minute to cancel due to illness on their part I'd be highly upset.
Some of the larger CG's require reservations 3,6, 9 months to a year out during peak season. 48 hours is simply too short of notice to cancel. Much in the way the OP was penalized. I'd want double my deposit if a mega CG tried to cancel my reservation on short notice.
Some of us are still naive enough to believe the customer is always right.....I've been in business long enough to know better.
