Long Term RV sites

As you can tell from the topic thread this has been a problem for awhile now. It seems that a few bases have recognized it may be a problem and are starting to enforce new policies.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel; in case you did not read Larry's article on the home page about "changes in housing stipends could hurt active duty living in RV parks" go back and read it and we can hope it will become active as stated.

I'm not convinced there is light at the end of the tunnel. I will post an update in the next month, because we are going to stay in TX again and I called to make reservations and was told half of the sites are now long term. This is a change from just a year ago. It's still all about the money and if they can get away with it at some of the places and the Commanders do not enforce the rules they will do it. The regs forbid it, but they get ignored. Campgrounds are not for long term living of Active Duty. I don't have a huge problem if they leave enough sites open for the true campers. They also need to make the long term keep their sites clean and not junked up. Plus the prices keep going up and getting close to private park rates at some which doesn't make it worth staying at to me.

Are long term campers hogging all the premium space Station? Then write a letter to the base commander and also cc it to the Department of Defense. Unless people make it known it will not change. I have run across many bases that have LONG time campers into the years. A letter to the park manager means nothing since many times they are the ones overstepping their authority. Also convince others to write letters. Military RV parks are "Recretional" parks not home sites. Why should I have to park in the blazing hot sun jbecause a bunch of homesteaders have all the shaded sites?
