Campground Hosts, Why Do Some Have To Be Jerks?

[brittsnbirds]

Recently made a trip to TSP to do a little fishing and catch a show at Branson with the DW. She isn't much of a camper but being the trooper that she is, agreed to go.

Not long after arriving while I was setting up the trailer, she took our OLD dog for a walk (on a leash mind you) so he could attempt to do some business. Apparently the OLD fellow managed to squeeze out a small unit in a grassy area. My DW not knowing there was a "no do do rule" started to move on when the CG host jumped all over her. My wife isn't a confrontational person and was taken aback by his abrupt behaviour. She brought the pooch back all upset and grabbed a bag to go get his waste. I could see she was not doing well and asked what was wrong. She was reluctant to tell me (I tend to get upset when someone is RUDE to my wife) but told me about the incident. I promised not to confront the CG about it but wished I had at this point. We realize people don't like dog do do on their shoes and willingly comply with CG rules. But this guy was a total butt. What ever happened to "greating's neighbor, and btw did you know we pick up after our animals?" I camp many times at Missouri State Parks and have only had a 1 other bad experience. At this point I think my next contact will be with MDNR management to voice my concerns.

Just venting. But if you do camp at TSP be sure to "scoop your Poop" because this particular CG Host doesn't know how to be diplomatic if you don't!!

I love rude campground hosts, it get me alot of business! Maybe once the bank is paid off I'll get rude, but can't afford to yet.
