RavenNS,
If you had actually read the rules you'd know that it said:
NO "carpet" on the GRASS
NO "clotheslines" and since when isn't the awning arms of your own RV a place to dry items and then actually put them away like normal people usually do? Awning arms are ATTACHED! NO clotheslines are a liability insurance requirement as they catch people and children in the throat area especially after dark and the victims are often not seen until too late. Same rules in most other CG's - national, state, local, private CG's in the USA.
NO Add-A-Rooms etc are because they also rent seasonally and many to most seasonals have "stuff" etc all over their site and it usually looks like a pig pen! Constant complaints on this and other forums and from other RV'ers about long term pig pen site conditions and it discourages most people from even staying there.
The grass etc at Eastpointe rivals any excellent golf course and they want to keep it that way!
It's not a slum or low life type park by any stretch!
Everything is to be "parked"/"driven"/"on your rented sight" - not a vacant site or on vegetation - parked/driven on the paved roads etc. ALL sites are paved 18' wide for more length than the patio area. The flat smooth concrete patios themselves are approx 12' X 24+' and then taper. How big is "big enough" for you?
NO RV's over 10 years old allowed UNLESS the unit's condition/appearance etc is approved by the management! Very clearly stated!
Quite standard rules today in most upbeat decent RV parks and campgrounds in the USA. The very same rules apply in nearly all the National Park CG's, State, Local, and Private CG's we've camped in - (51 years RV'ing and many dozens in the USA and Canada). Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore (from which we spent the last couple days in and retured home yesterday), will evict you if you violate these same rules as we have seen them do it and my nephew was a ranger there for many years, so he knows! Ant tents or rooms must be inside the timber bordered designated area with NO exceptions! ALL vehicle wheels of any wheeled item including a trailer's tongue must be on the paved area or you will be GONE with ZERO refund! Adhere to a CG's rules or don't stay there! I served on the Board of Directors of a very large 2 resort unit having over 1400 RV sites total for 9 years and know so well what a PIA some people are or their un-diciplined/controlled kids are. I did not own nor did anyone in our family own the resorts. Most seemed to be a chip off the same type parental block!
Eastpointe is not a slum or low life type park nor is our entire region and why it's so extremely popular to visitors/RV'ers! At Eastpointe, they even come by each day and pickup your trash for you! If you don't like decent, sensibly orderly, and clean surroundings, you may be happier in the low quality or rustic CG's etc. No one makes you go to or stay at Eastpointe anyway and attitude is a very big part of happy surroundings, stays, and vacations!
