Not sure of the logic

Wow some folks do tend to get kind of excited about things don't they? I am not mad at this campground. We have stayed there many times and it is one of our favorite places. We are hoping to get a site next month for a trip. Since we are familiar with this campground the things I know are. All site carry the same price, all sites are layed out the same as to utilities. They do have a group of sites that are dedicated for groups but he did not mention these. I do plan on asking them why we were turned down when/if we get a reservation for next month. It is the only RV park in this little town. We normally see everything from Truck Campers to TT and 5th wheels up to mega class A tour busses there. Its a great place, I think the poor guy on the phone was a little stressed out when I called. Who knows.

So if the 20ft lot is all that is left and you have a 22ft, 24ft, 30ft trailer you ARE out of luck.

Just keep in mind that this can work the other way too.

When I had a small 18ft hybrid trailer I got stuck in some pretty crappy campsites. These clearly wouldn't fit anything much larger, and were only installed to capture a little more revenue off the rigs that would happen to fit.

That is fine, but I shouldn't be paying the same as someone in a nice flat, grassy site when I'm in some corner of the park squeezed in next to the dumpster. A ghetto site should come with a ghetto price.

Sure, that also does happen..

Have seen many folk PUSHING a popup up hill by hand between trees into some rather odd campsites..

I am NOT that "dedicated" or desperate to go to that kind of work.

Here's the part I don't understand. The guy on the phone asked me what kind of rig I had. Told him a TT. He said the only site they had available was for a MH..... Why would it matter if I have a TT or a MH? Do you have a site available? Yes, then rent it to me.

A few weeks ago we decided to take a weekend trip to one of our favorite RV spots. We called a week in advance which in the past had been more than adequate. I guess other people have caught on how nice this place is. We were told they were full. Here's the part I don't understand. The guy on the phone asked me what kind of rig I had. Told him a TT.

Hmm.. I don't understand YOUR "logic".

You don't "own" the campground..

The campground owners MAKE the "rules", they may have saved YOU from smashing up your rig or other campers or causing major damage to the campground its self.

If a campground deems a site is for Motor Homes there is most likely a darn good reason to do so.

I would bet a fair chance that IF they would have allowed you to take that space, you would be here on the forum griping about a busted up TT due to too narrow of a road, too many trees in the way or now way to safely back your rig in :R

I personally think they may have SAVED YOU FROM YOURSELF..

Many campgrounds will restrict sites for various reasons.. One I go to a lot asks for trailer length.. They KNOW the longest trailer that can fit on any of their 1,500 sites.. They will not put a 30 ft trailer on a lot that fits a 20 ft trailer.. So if the 20ft lot is all that is left and you have a 22ft, 24ft, 30ft trailer you ARE out of luck.

There ARE other campgrounds, simply move on and put this behind you and move on with life.

MH site.......allows rig to pull straight in.
Utilities on drivers side/camp site---table etc on passengers side

TT using a MH site......TT backs in
Utilities right out entry door.........TT sewer/electric/water has to be run under TT
Camp site.......table on drivers side of TT

I can't speculate. Doesn't seem to make much sense to me.

I get upset when we reserve a specific site and then it gets changed on us. If we are just going by ourselves, its an annoyance but not that big of a deal. Usually we camp with friends or family though, and we reserve sites together. When one of us gets bumped to a different location, that is upsetting...

It's probably due to backing in/parking issues. Its probably very difficult to back into.
