Justin Spencer Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Still have my showerhouse going here, looks like it will be the latest I have ever let it go also. Getting tired of cleaning bathrooms!

jdmidwest Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 I really don't know why they have to close them at all since most are heated. The unheated ones have to be drained. That was something that I could not understand at Montauk, keep at least one open for the entire season. It would probably pay for itself in increased camping. Of course, they would sell less motel rooms if they did that. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
fishinwrench Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 It's not the lack of being able to take a shower everyday that keeps Me from camping more in the Winter, it's the short days and long cold nights. If they'd fix THAT I'd be there.
mic Posted November 3, 2012 Author Posted November 3, 2012 I would bet it has more to do paying for cleaning. There isn't enough traffic to pay for itself.
