AuburnJen 770 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 do you mean pop up camper? there are places that do not allow them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 There are many "RV Resorts" that will not allow tents, popups, or even hybrid hard side trailers that have fold out tent bunks. Never really understood the reasoning but I guess there must be some big rig campers that will pay more to have it that way. However, there are many other campgrounds in the area where you will be welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BeckersDadJohn 44 Posted October 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 website says tents are ok Gee, my diesel does not even make slappidy slap noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Travisma 1,317 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well the picture they show of the tent site is pretty basic. Doesn't look like any amenities on each site. They probably have it hidden away behind a building. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Memphis 105 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Didn't see where they allowed tents, the resi page under RV type only list TT, FW, Class A & Cs. . That's messed up if they allow tents but not your camper. Well it's messed up either way actually. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

5kidsmommy 18 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 A lot of higher end resorts have these types of restrictions. We have a 5 year old hybrid and have seen where hybrids are not allowed. Also there are places that only allow rigs of certain ages. I have no problem with these restrictions as long as they are upfront about it, I personally have no desire to go where I am not wanted. Personally though I wouldn't want to stay at a place that was so fussy because I imagine they are uptight about everything and that's not what I want when I am vacationing.

Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Sounds like it's run by voldemort - they do stupid things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 That's ridiculous. A new dually my can run you over $50KAnd that camper can cost over $25K. So they will let a $10,000 TT camp there but not a $75K rig. Who's running that place? Fort wilderness rangers? 5kidsmommy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grumpy and Grandma 739 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 It's the same mentality that prevails at the new motor-home resorts. Class "A" only. Can't go in with a lowly $175,000 Super "C". What even aggravates me more is many of them are Good Sam parks, just like the one here and that exclusivity is definitely not what Good Sam was founded on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CitaPita...Carmen 59 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I've seen more and more campgrounds put restrictions on the age of your rig, which to a certain extent I understand because there is the possibility your rig could break down on their property and they'd run into issues with existing reservations, vehicle leaking fluids on the site, etc. Age restriction is clearly something I'll be up against. But I cannot for the life of me understand what grounds any campground would have to limit truck campers and class C's. Makes no sense to me at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AuburnJen 770 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 Well, if my rig is too old, than my money must be too old to spend there too. Geesh. Sorry for the confusion, however, I would just take my money and spend it where people don't have their nose so high up in the air. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted October 20, 2014 Report Share Posted October 20, 2014 I've run into that issue also. Some parks require that you be "self-contained" meaning with holding tanks and a sewer line. However, I can fake it somewhat because I've fashioned a grey water drain that looks exactly like a sewer line. Just have to dump the portapotty when nobody's looking.

ependydad...Doug 176 Posted October 22, 2014 Report Share Posted October 22, 2014 I've seen no tents, no pop-ups, and even no truck campers before. I think the zaniest is Blue Water Key has those but also has a minimum length of 26' rule. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
