| I like campgrounds. I prefer a campground to staying in | | | | Maine. I feel like I am getting something extra for my |
| a truck stop. But the more I camp, the more hidden | | | | money. I get to look at the ocean with my morning |
| charges upset me. My latest one - we were charged | | | | coffee. If I don't want to pay extra for this, I can take a |

| sites." When I asked what that meant, they explained | | | | several e-mails back and forth, I still don't have a good |

| camper who pulls in can pull through but the other | | | | location in the park, the size of the sites and the |
| camper has to back in behind you. If I wanted a pull | | | | amenities. It sounds like an a-la-carte menu to me.I do |
