paying for showers even as part of the camping fee. My RV already HAS a shower! (Charge a little LESS and let us take showers in the RV!)
Low tree branches! (Don't use loppers because it just makes sharp stiff points where roofs can be damaged. Trim them properly so they out of the way!)
Adding cost of useless WIFI into the camping cost. I'll PAY for it if I want to use it and THEN it better work. (@#$%^&!)
Very high first step into the RV! ... Now THIS one just confuses me since it's MY RV why would it be the campgrounds fault
What are some of yours?


Just showing that it's hard to please EVERYONE since tastes and situations are different.

It's hard to say that NOTHING bothers me when camping, because I go there to get away and enjoy the place I paid money to have fun.
IF there was one thing that bothers me, it would be the other people that do not clean up after their stay.
I notice the sites are clean when they arrive. When they leave, it's a mess and they feel they paid for someone else to clean up their mess after they leave.


HAPPY CAMPING!!

WIFI is very important to us to touch base with our kids & affairs at home. Long expensive story on long distance phone service.

CGs that imply that WIFI is available CG wide when it is not annoy me. Having WIFI in a CG is like a phone in a hotel room.

It is very seldom that another camper will do something irritating.

Just one pet peeve: Campers who expect everyone else to abide by their own personal set of rules, over and above those laid out by the campground owners...

On the topic of WiFi, personally, I couldn't care less about having WiFi at a campground. When I am camping, it is to relax and enjoy being outdoors (I regularly laugh at myself for having bought a camper with all these fancy amenities when I rarely do anything but sleep in it!). I realize some folks need or want it and I think if a campground wants to offer it, that should be an extra charge, rather than hitting all of us for something we may not use.. The flip side of that is, if you do pay extra for it, it dang sure should work at your campsite.....

People that camp right next to me at the lake and don't boat or fish, just sit inside and watch tv and run the generator all day.


Lord, grant me the senility to not recognize the people I don't like, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference

Grooming dogs and changing baby diapers on top of picnic tables.

That's why I started washing down the picnic tables with a bleach solution before we use the tables.

I am guessing that you should just stay at home and leave the tuff
stiff to the rest of us campers .
