As for the other rules, no dump point is quite unusual. I would expect there may be a public dump point nearby. Again, I’ ve seen the disgusting state many travellers leave a dump point. I can’ t count the number of times we’ ve come to a dump point that is out of use because someone has clogged it up with the stuff they’ ve disposed of. Imagine having to deal with that every day on the minimal wage you might get working at a caravan park.
The request to conserve power is just that: a request. As for no ground sheets, well, that’ s not unheard of, and if you consider the likely water situation at the park, it makes sense that they would want to look after what little grass they have.
The park manager is your friend. If in doubt, just ask.
TOO MANY RULES?
As I mentioned earlier, I saw this video while staying at a caravan park in Lakes Entrance, and it had me wondering about the rules that park had. What surprised me was how many little rules they had on signs strewn around the park. There were dozens of them, and this was a‘ no children’ park to boot.
Many of the instructions on these signs were almost condescending, stating what I would consider to be the blatantly obvious. Turn the lights off when you leave, flush the toilet after use, take short showers, mind the very obvious step, even instructions to pump the hand soap before turning on the tap! Either the park managers had severe OCD or, the most likely explanation, many park patrons are just hopeless and seem to be incapable of normal behaviour.
