I just have to tell you guys about this 'cause I've never seen it happen. We were at Lakeview COE park for a week. The park was maybe 10-15% full. Our friends showed up around 10:30 a.m. with reservations to start that day. They went in and the Camp Snoop (Host) told them they can't check in 'til 3:00 p.m. The loop they had reservations in was completely empty. Not a soul there. Nobody in their reserved site. They politely asked why. No reason given. They asked why again. The Camp Snoop got mad and called the head Ranger. He drove out from town and basically told them rules are rules. Check in at 3. Period. Now I don't know about you guys, but several times we've arrived at a campground a little early, and if it's empty, we pull in and set up. Never ever had anybody say anything anywhere. And a few times we've known people were a little early for our site, we tried to get packed up a little quicker. No hurry, just trying to be polite. Another thing about this campground- the sites were dirty and trashy. It looks like maybe the Snoops blow off all the trash just to the edge of the campsite and don't pick it up. I guess that's what they do. They don't do anything else. And another thing about this campground- they have at least a half dozen or more 50 amp full hook-up sites that they will not rent out. They say it's for "volunteers". We've been going there for 20+ years, and never ever have seen a volunteer there. These beautiful campsites sit dormant. Except for a couple pf times we've seen people camped in 1 or 2 of the spots who were friends of the Snoop. So, the point being- why are these people harrassing campers over some rule that no campground has ever enforced if the site is empty?!? And why can't we rent a full-hookup site there? There answer is B.S. I guess maybe I need to write the local COE commander and get some answers.
