And this was a‘ no kids’ caravan park.
NOT-SO-COMMON RULES
Now we come to the sort of rules you might describe as not so common, and they are the sort of rules the guy in the video took some exception to. They were:
• No filling up of caravan water tanks;
• It cost $ 1 to have a four-minute shower;
• There was no dump point;
• They asked that guests conserve power usage; and
• You couldn’ t put down a ground sheet under your awning, as it killed the grass.
For context, it cost $ 53 per night to stay on what can be assumed was a powered site. He didn’ t say where the park was located, except that it was one hour away from a major town.
After watching the video, I read some of the comments and, to be honest, I was a little surprised. For the most part, the comments suggested that it was unreasonable for the park to have these rules. Many suggested that for $ 53 per night, they would be running their air-conditioner all night, filling their water tanks and having as long a shower as they liked in their caravans.
A few comments made by seasoned travellers had the opposite opinion and agreed the rules must be there for good reasons that catered for the unique circumstances of the park. Anyone questioning them was ignorant of the challenges of running a caravan park in regional and remote areas and had very entitled opinions.
