Thank you for your post. I am a park owner and some guests who refuse to follow any camp rules create big problems for the parks. I have seen every thing you listed in your post and more. Just this week we had a guest pick up all the poop (big dog) off the site and dispose of it under a tree on the side of the site. What a mess when I came by with the weed eater. Another guest left two small dogs in their pop up to bark continually while they were out for the day. Even other dog lovers were very irritated by this, as they could not sit at their site and enjoy peace and quiet. We have done every thing from not charging for pets, $1.00 extra per pet per day, one pet free $1.00 for each additional. When we remind guests of pet rules at check in most get an attitude "we clean up and watch our pet" YA RIGHT.
I do not believe there is an answer.
Sad to say so many children are allowed to run wild. We have had to post signs in restrooms children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. We do our best to keep the kids from running and riding bikes Thur sites. They are told to keep bikes on the road but they continue to do it. When we are forced to speak with the parents a few get a real attitude "our kids would not do that". We are a small park with no pool or game room so we don't get a lot of families with children, I can't even begin to imagine the problems and damage parks that have all the bells and whistles have to contend with.
I believe that most parks work really hard to provide an nice place for campers to relax and enjoy their time camping, it is way harder than most think. I have some times thought it would be good to have guest reviews like we have campground reviews. We clean our bath house numerous times a day, with in 15 minutes of having every thing spotless some one will go in and shower, dump piles of sand out of swim suits, refuse to close shower curtains so floor is flooded. clean out hair brushes and throw wads of hair on the floor so when the next guest comes in they might feel the park did not clean.
ALL problems could be resolved if People would only follow the GOLDEN RULE. We are suffer for the actions of a few and that is WRONG.
