Not so fun week-end

[austinado16]

YOu are so right-they think that they paid $20 and they can do what they please. But they really only paid for 8 idiots and I got a total of 25 idoits for the same price- what a cheap week-end for them -and for me wished I had not gone and spent the $100 on gas, $200 on food, $160 on site and just to add fuel a extra $18 for parking.  Think I will stay home the next time or only camp in the winter.

Exactly how we felt upon arriving at the Grand Canyon.....That was a lot of money and time to get to listen to someone's video game, party, and generator.

As they say "That is how life is sometimes" :eyecrazy:

Funny huh? It's like fishing. I throw out the line and look at all the bites!
 
However, did you notice how all I said was that we were not the type to be in bed by 10:00, we meet the security guard(Most hang out with us), and I even said we try to be as quiet as possible. All of a sudden I get responses that I am a public nuisance from Speakeasy like it's only me breaking the quiet time rule in California, LOL. Cajun Camper says we have whimpy Rangers in Cali, I never mentioned rangers, we don't camp where there are Rangers. By the way CC, I never said I spoke for the Left coast, if fact, I didn't even say it was the majority of our group. We don't yell profanities or talk to trees either. So, when you all are done blowing this out of proportion and trying mount some sort of attack on me personally, make sure you understad where I'm coming from.
 
miss kathy, I'm sorry you had such a hard time.  It was the luck of the draw that you got stuck with such an unruly crowd, and it sucks.  But before these people convince you it was me making all the noise, I was not there.

Yep!!!! That's our "Viking".......truth is, he's probably the quietest one in the group......he just has a hard time keeping his chair upright.... :sombraro:

I almost got out this weekend but waited til it was too late for any of the nicer CG's.  I did not want to drive an hour to stay at a parking lot KOA.  I got the local paper and saw where a man was killed when he came across one of those loud drunks.

I have found that the best cg's have a little more space and rules that are enforced.

Ain't campin fuuuun :eyecrazy:  :screwy:

you know, I paid for the site, it is mine and I will do as I d#$% well please.

If you don't like it, just pack up your little tent on wheels and leave.

Yup those guys used that exact argument this weekend... As if I got my site free?!

Our KOAs in Northern Cali are pretty nice, at least the ones in my area, they aren't nearly as stacked as others I've seen, and we love the family orientation they have, but its certainly not the only places we camp. THIS KOA sucked more due to the owners that run it.

Yes I called KOA directly. They paid for my member card for the next year as well as my brothers (they were due next month). They want pics (which we have) and they are sending a team of investigators to the CG who specifically deal with these type of complaints.


Next trip is  back to the coast and right on the beach in 3 weeks. Can't wait!

Nice job getting some justice!

We ran into this same cr#p last fall in a $110/night hotel and the night clerk would do nothing about the loud couple next door (drunk and partying).  The next day, the front desk offered a 20% discount.  I said no thanks, called corporate and not only got the room comp't, but got a voucher for a free night at any of their chain.

Read the article that MomboTN posted and you'll see why the guy didn't get in the middle of a domestic. I'd have called the police myself.

Know all about the dangers of "domestics."  This wasn't a brawl, it was just 2 twenty-something's partying it up.  Corporate agreed with me that the night manager should have called the local PD and had them booted out.

Another great reason to become part of something like Coast to Coast.  We go to these campgrounds and there is nothing like that going on.  Plus you get the miniature golf and all the blue hairs!

Whew.........this was fun reading......Hahaaaaaaaaaa
