The staff at Bayou Segnette State Park obviously does not RV.
The RV park is practically empty and there are lots of sites within spitting distance of the bathrooms, playground, and laundry. Twice now, they have put an overnighter on the same pad as me. Twice now, my neighbours have sadly told me, “Man, we should have just stayed at Walmart, we would have had more space.”
I don’t mind the tight quarters since the other rig is on my driver’s side, but there is no logic to this decision except that non-RVers don’t understand RVers. It’s like when I’m asked to move my rig, as though that’s a small request.
What burns me the most though, is that I never wanted this site that is right next to the comfort station and offers me zero privacy because my passenger windows overlook the path to the comfort station while my rear window faces the busy playground. Why I couldn’t have been put all by my lonesome in the back of the loop, like I requested, is beyond me.
It’s almost as though the staffers have been told by management, “These saps know we’re the best deal in the New Orleans area and so they’ll jump when we tell them to.” Shame on them.
I have also been assigned a spot right next to someone in an empty football field size park a few times. Once on a late night arival fter ten minutes of very loud neighbors I just moved, I figured , what could they do to me in the morning, make me leave?
But when you are in a place for a week I guess you are stuck 🙁
And here, ‘right next to someone’ takes on new meaning. This pad holds two rigs, but it is not the width of two RV pads plus a buffer between them. I really should have sneaked a picture when the other side was full. If both rigs get as close as possible to their edge of the pad (in my case, so much so that my step is over grass, not asphalt), then there is just enough room for the other rig’s door to swing open and not hit my RV. We’re on top of each other. It’s ridiculous! I really don’t care since I don’t really look out over the driver’s side at all, but I feel bad for the other folks.
How is the water heater doing tonight?
Been working great since late yesterday afternoon thanks to the sun coming out! Thanks for asking. 🙂
