Most common campground complaints?
Running a campground for this season, we're lucky (or maybe hard working enough?) that we don't hear about too many complaints. So we were thinking, what things have you found to complain about at...

Has anyone said barking dogs? LOL.
More of "things of interest" than complaints. Keeping an eye out for these things helps prevent complaints and shows visitors you care about them and their camping experience.
Non-movable fire rings squeezed on the parking pad, putting it too close to the awning.
Very unlevel camping spots. If a spot is made to be level, it greatly simplifies setup and looks quite professional. Remember, you don't have to do them all at once ;)
Small gravel where the awning extends is much easier on the feet, even with an awning mat. The big pieces always seem to catch me in just the wrong spot ;)
Power pedestals without bees are nice.
A spot for an additional tent/screen house, etc is nice.
Clean bathhouses are ALWAYS appreciated! Sufficient hot water and pressure is very considerate.
Did I mention clean bathhouses are appreciated? ;)
A tip for your seasonal person who wants more privacy and quiet: offer to move him to a more remote spot, away from your weekend visitors. Either he will understand weekends are busier with "non-professional" campers, or he won't.
If he wants to change spots, that's fine, too. Either way, he is a participant in the choices, as is appropriate.
But that is just a suggestion, you know the situation better than we do.
Kudos on even requesting such info. It shows you care about your visitors. Be ready, you may get much more than you bargained for ;)
