What Do You Think About Campgrounds Charging A Cleaning Deposit?
Nobody likes a dirty campground. Whether you are primitive camping or RVing at a campground resort, a little effort is all that need be expended in order to ensure that the next camper arriving at the campsite after you will enjoy it just as much. Now for the most part, campers clean up after themselves, but there are exceptions to every rule, and they usually some mess for the campers who come after them. Other rental services (house boats, cabins, chalets, etc.) commonly charge a cleaning deposit. Do you think campsites would be cleaner, if campgrounds charged a cleaning deposit? Would you mind paying it?Share Your Thoughts
What Has Spoiled One Of Your Camping Trips?
I've been on camping trips that weren't necessarily spoiled, but they sure weren't very pleasant. I've been on camping trips where I was attacked by mosquitoes, bombarded by wind and rain, evacuated because of flood and hurricane and invaded by thieving raccoons. I've had noisy neighbors in the next campsite, and I've met inconsiderate camp hosts. I've been to campgrounds where the bathrooms were unsanitary, and I've been camping when I suddenly got sick. Lots of things can happen. What has spoiled one of your camping trips?Tell Your Story
What Didn't They Tell You About Camping?
Remember your first camping trip? You made a checklist, tested your gear, filled the gas tank, mapped your route, and you had everything in order. Then you got to the campground. Uh, oh! What didn't they tell you? It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or a veteran camper, something will come up when you least expect it. What surprises have you met when camping?Share Your Story
What Are Your Camping Expectations?
Whether you're an RVer or a tent camper, we all have certain expectations when we get to the campground. I like it when I arrive to a clean campsite, and I hate it when I use the bathroom and there is no toilet paper. Some folks like quiet times (old folks like me), and others like planned activities (families with kids). What are your camping expectations?Share Your Concerns
