Paying for two sites

[VT_Skier]

Has anyone ever paid for two sites so they would be assured of some privacy or more room? At our favorite CG some of non electric sites are a bit close together so we will pay for two sites just wondering if anyone else does this.

You are correct in the park was not closed, you just could not get to it because of controlled access.

This has nothing whatsoever to do with the topic at hand.

Sure does if you read the post's prior.

Some have made the post about entitlement.

Just what did your post add to the topic other then being condescending?

I do agree with your post about it being a financial transaction between the camper and the campground owner.

Price and money has never been an issue/justification/deterrent in the conversation. The issue is self centered individuals that have no respect for the wants/needs/rights of others. It's the "I got mine, scr** you attitude." It unfortunately is what our country is becoming. It is more common in young people, but some people that should know better have joined the movement. It's sad but a fact of life.

So true but those in the practice of denying others don't see it that way. They can make fun of us all they want-can't wait until they show up somewhere and can't do what THEY want because someone else has beaten them to it! I'm a firm believer in Karma.

I haven't reserved two, but I have (and frequently do) reserve the day before I arrive and/or the day after.

We frequently stay at some local campgrounds that are within an hour drive of our home. We get up and leave early, arriving at the campsite well before check in time. Inevitably, the previous occupant is still there and does not leave until the stroke of the hour he has to. So we sit and wait hours until he leaves. We reserve the day before and the site is empty no matter how early we arrive. This is technically in violation of some public campground rules (must be occupied first night), but we have yet to be called on it.

The same for the day after. We will stay late afternoon/after dinner to drive home, well past checkout time. We reserve the day after and do not have to leave early. We tell the CG host we are leaving and he can send any late drop-in arrival to our now empty reserved site.

Since I have the 1/2 price geezer pass the cost for the two extra nights is only one night's fee.

Dave you are a BAD person you are selfish self centered person......LOL there I beat Crowe and Fogie to it.......LOL Even better yet you have the geezer pass...LOL
At least I pay full price. Ok time for a beer....

Old Fogie,
When some one says "because of people like you I can't get a spot to go camping" if they would read I clearly state that the CG is half empty two days before arrival.

I repeat: Why did you even post the question if you were going to attack everyone who disagreed with what you want to do?

Thank goodness for cell services ....Fogie please point out where I attacked anyone...Don't think you can. Now if someone has an illogical answer and hasn't read the entire post I would ask them to read the entire post.
Have you ever entered into a debate on a subject? Well this appearently is a good one I believe what I do is not a problem given the perameters and you believe differently so if I vote one party and you vote another what's the difference we are allowed our opinions
That being said we should all endorse the SOCIALIST candidate from VT MR BERNIE SANDERS...................UH NO!!!!

I remember back in 83 when Yosemite was closed for a week so one person could stay there. How many vacation's were ruined because of that. Where was the public outcry. The person was not even a US citizen.

Wow! It would be good reading. Can you post the link?

Just look for when the queen of England visited the US. She stayed at the Ahwahnee lodge.

All I could find was this link stating 43 were displaced from the Ahwahnee Hotel because of her stay. They were given other options. The whole park wasn't closed. This link has some interesting things of back in the olden days.
