Expectations at RV Parks - Do you adapt?
I was reading the bad reviews on rvparkreviews.com today and was struck by how some people apparently are unwilling or unable to adjust their expectations based on special circumstances. On person ...

Some people are funny. I tend to read reviews and pick and choose what information is important to me. Funny story for me... years ago my parents had a class c they were about to sell. My wife had never camped before, figured we would go to Disney over the holidays and test out camping in an RV.
We stayed at a nice park just outside Disney. New Years Eve we went to the 9:30 PM fireworks, then came back and went to bed like a couple of old folks (I was 25, bride was 23!!!) Around midnight the noise makers and fireworks went off. We woke up and were so mad... then we started laughing about how pathetic we were! On vacation, young, married just over a year... and complaining about loud noise on New Years! We still laugh about it to this day.
I wouldn't fault the RV park... they didn't throw the party. How do you expect the 1 or 2 camp hosts to quell an entire park full of people celebrating an event like that? Its unreasonable. The park didn't post a notice of rule waiver for that night... it was just kinda something you would expect.
If you go to New Orleans during Mardis Gras, you should expect a little noise almost 24 hours a day almost anywhere in the city...
Some people complain about things that I wouldn't even consider complaining about. Its one thing to mention it in passing... its another to rip a park apart because of something. Hershey Highmeadows Park in Hershey PA is known for being in close proximity to a train track. Some people moan and complain about that park like its going to ruin your credit and steal your car. I've stayed there before... knew about the train and turned my fan on to drown out the noise. Never heard the thing the entire time.
