Ever hear of this use air conditioning get thrown out

[jarata1]

We are staying in a state campground in ri
On our instruction sheet says no air conditioning you will be thrown out if they find out your using it even if you paid for full hookups

[suprz]

I have never stayed there, i have visited friends that have camped there... Never saw the attraction, seemed kind of boring and nothing special

[Grey_Mountain]

I stayed in a park once that said no wagon-burning allowed. Never went back.

Fisherman's is the only place I've run into it. Yes they have lots of rules but I've never had them come around complaining about anything. Such a nice place I don't mind the rules or digging out the campers registration for them.

All I could afford wrote:
I like page 9 with the MINIMUM Stay of 1 night in the off peak season!

It's on pages 7 and 12 of the version I saw, and I like it because it gives a number when it talks about minimum stay: "Minimum stay of 4 nights" in peak season and "minimum stay of 1 night" in non-peak season. The "minimum stay of one night" might sound silly, but it's 100% clear what it means. Sure, if there's a minimum stay in peak season and no mention of non-peak season, it could be inferred that there's no minimum stay in non-peak season, but why make people infer anything when you can say it outright?

But did y'all who are mocking the rules actually look at them? The stated purpose of the document is "policies, procedures and forms," and it includes information about Reserve America's call center hours, that cabins at Burlingame State Park have two bunk beds and mattresses and bedding aren't provided, reservations instructions and fees, etc. The actual rules in there are the usual: quiet hours, number of people per site, pets on a 6' leash (yeah, right).

21 pages of rules? Ha. h, ha...…………..I don't think I would fit in here! :B Sounds more like a jail than a campground to me.

That's one good thing about a self contained TT. I can stay pretty much anywhere I want to stay.

At an RV resort; on the side of a road; in a dessert, in the mountains…….ya, pretty much anywhere I want. I love the RV lifestyle!

Would not be my choice for a place to stay either but others may appreciate all the rules.

The sad part is what facilitated the need for all those rules.

I suspect you are camped at Fishermen’s Memorial Campground and if you are in area 4 "The electrical service in Area 4 is not adequate for RV air conditioning units during extreme heat,,,"

General Rules. See page 19

Holy rat turds Batman, do they have a few rules in RI lol. The encyclopedia of campground rules. Prices are cheap though, here in PA that full hookup site will be more than double, in the order of $46 on a weekend.

Fisherman's is way over the top strict, When checking in they even wanted our trailer insurance information...

IMO it's ridiculous to be charged for either A/C or electric heat as long as you are using the amperage that you paid for and I will never willingly pay for either and if I would find another CG if they prohibited using either and sure would never stay there again.

[hotpepperkid]

A lot of them say no alcohol and no firearms. One place we stayed in CO said no alcohol but 3.2 beer was OK go figure. 3.2 beer is sort of like near beer

I was at a private campground that had very limited electric capacity, only 15 amp pedestals. They flat out said "NO A/C". So to get it across, the pedestals had the old-style screw-in fuse boxes. You paid a $5 fuse deposit when you checked in, and you got a 15-amp screw-in fuse. If you blew the fuse or didn't return the intact fuse, you didn't get your deposit back.

If that campground is/was down in Ohio, WE WERE THERE! LOL! I believe it was a campground that was touting "The Largest in-ground pool in the country" or something like that.

When I went to check in, I was ready to leave the office and the very nice clerk stopped me and said, "Hey, You forgot your fuse!" I was like, "Huh?" He replied, "Your Fuse. Gotta have one to get your power on at your site." So, he hands me a screw in style fuse, and off I went.

When we arrived at the site, the fuse box was nailed to the side of a tree! :B

Now, in a place like that, I could see them not wanting you to pull too many amps with A/C. Hence, no A/C or Heater use allowed.

One in Michigan charges 2.00 per day if you use air.
Campground was established before they had a/c or many anyway in units.
Wife's Cousin rewired the whole campground 3 decades ago and no load problems. Just another way to bring in money. Grand Kids now run it and rates are getting very high.
RI may have cool temps but then again their wiring is old or ..well I dunno.
