I recently had the misfortune of being rejected by Seaport Campground in Connecticut (even though we were already approved)because "Morgan RV Inc." purchased the CG and changed the policy to no "large dogs". When I contacted the headquarters in New York, I spoke with Supervisor Mike Rogers.
He indicated Certain breeds, which included my breed, German Shepherds, are designated "aggressive" and will not be allowed. They claim to be quite pet friendly, but not in my mind. They did not honor their word about getting back to me, nor were they interested in discussing the problem, except to say "That is our policy"!!
There was also the issue of number of dogs but we did not even discuss that issue because of their policy.
I hope you will let Morgan RV Inc. know that they need our money more than we need their campground. They are purchasing across the country!!!!!
Thank you for your support.

I suspect that their insurance company probably won't discuss the problem with THEM either. I would HOPE they notified you of the change and didn't just let you wander in for your reservation and hit you with the policy change though.

Their CG, their rules. If you're not too happy, go elsewhere or loose the dog.

I'm sure it was their Insurance policy. My homeowners Insurance made it quite clear to me they wouldn't insure us if we had a pit bull, German Shepard etc. They had a list of dogs that were unacceptable.

INSURANCE.....BULL ****... It is just a cop out....It is easy for them to use the so called "aggressive" list of dog instead of enforcing common sense rules...what about the mutts...when you start with a mixed breed you never know what you have and I have not seen them on any "insurance list"....what is next...may be bikes should be banned... I see alot more kids with skinned up and stitched up arms and legs from bikes than dog bites.
JohnnyR Thank you for the heads up...."As far as there park their rules" I will be sure not to stay at any camps they own or buy...As consumers we have more power than most know....look how many pet related adds you see on TV...pet owners are a very large portion of our society...I would not want to tick them off.

Here is there site
Morgan RV Resorts
Just so you'll know what to avoid!
They aren't listed as Morgan RV Resorts at each campground, so you need to check them out.
Just tossing in a few cents worth.

My HOMEOWNERS insurance has these clauses:
No coverage for dog liability. PERIOD. ALL BREEDS.
No coverage for trampoline liability. Have a trampoline, get a cancellation notice.
No coverage for home day care.
Must have six foot privacy fence around back yard because I have a swimming pool. Yes, they check. The agent came out and took pictures.
Roof must be 2002 or newer. I replaced the roof this year after having the roof replaced in 2001. The Florida Building Code changed since 2001, and of course, the roof cost more.
For those who suggest I change insurance companies, I either stay with this company or go into the state windstorm pool and pay four times as much. Remember, this is Florida, where nearly every national insurer has pulled out of the market.
With apologies to those on this board who are insurance agents, I think the insurance industry is scum on a shingle. A pox on the lot of them.

Then what the heck do they cover???
Sounds to me like it would be no great loss to not have insurance like that and pay your premuims money to yourself....at least then you would not have to argue over what is or is not covered.

I know a lot of campers that will not stay in a campground that allows dogs and pets in their campground...We have two dogs ourselves but when we go camping we leave the dogs with our daughter or in a kennel until we return home...By posting your article that no one should do business with RV parks that won't allow pets on their premises is doing the pet hater campers a favor by letting them know where they can camp without a problem with peoples pets...That statement works both ways and would probably steer more business, not less, to their campgrounds by letting people know where they can camp pet free...
