They're designed that way but then why do they advertise as if the spots are large? I didn't see one that could be considered medium let alone large. Ah well.<br /><br />Diana - Crowded is ok but the size of all of the sites was a shocker because when we talked to them they made them sound shady and large. The site we stayed on was touted as large and full of shade and it was anything but. What can ya do...<br /><br />Bruce & Val - Agreed! You too!Erik's RV Blog https://www.blogger.com/profile/17149039572885361450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809406582739580270.post-66153842799268215092012-05-28T16:24:48.481-05:002012-05-28T16:24:48.481-05:00You know that I will look at this from a totally d...You know that I will look at this from a totally different view ....<br />I have some tight sites, too. This was built in the 60's and was an old Safari Camp. Back then rigs were shorter and had no slides. We have to use all the sites we have unless we do a major ($$$$$) renovation. I had one complaint about a site this weekend. It was that the site was too narrow and I totally agree with that. She got that site because she called the Wednesday before Memorial Day for a reservation. All I had left that met her other specifications. I offered a 20% discount for her disappointment. Never hurts to express your disappointment in a nice way. <br />In a perfect world I could do an entire build out of wider sites, but it would take years to recoup the investment. After the shenanigans of this past weekend, I am less inclined to want to invest any more than I already have.<br />On a different note, it was nice to see all my holiday regulars. All the kids I have watched grow over the years make me feel like a surrogate gramma to them. Seeing the bicycles and listening to their laughter was like a balm to my tired soul!Kathy's Klotheslinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17881966393157941515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809406582739580270.post-33767315563441377972012-05-28T16:17:25.980-05:002012-05-28T16:17:25.980-05:00We went last year and thought the same thing, just...We went last year and thought the same thing, just not wide enough. It feels like your camping in a gravel driveway. Glad the slide is working out ok. Have fun next week.<br /><br />Bruce (& Val)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809406582739580270.post-20574528901589438612012-05-28T07:21:47.487-05:002012-05-28T07:21:47.487-05:00It did look a bit crowded Erik.

But it sounds as though you made the best of things and at least things went smoothly with the camper.<br />I don't think I remember you posting about that other campground before. And I don't remember you posting about a challenge at work. I must have missed that one. I hope your foot and knee are doing alright.<br />Love Di ♥Dianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429812875586479256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-809406582739580270.post-25813491198328010782012-05-28T00:05:19.675-05:002012-05-28T00:05:19.675-05:00Its always good to post about a campground.
