Campland San Diego Discrimination !!!

[TRC-53]

For years we would reserve 3-sites for a week. We have 3 VW buses. When we tried to reserve, the person on the phone asked about vehicles. My sister-in-law explained 3 VW Buses.

She was told they do not allow VW Buses to camp in camp land. We were very disappointed, it has always been a family affair. There was plenty for the children to do, we would rent a boat for the day and rent their peddle cars.

We always raked our sites when we were done, we abided by all of their rules.
This VW Bus discrimination!!!!

Not likely.
Here in the PNW, some of the private campgrounds don't allow older vehicles in their camps. Like, nothing older than 10 years.

Maybe the Campland folks had a bad experience from some rowdy VW Van owners and don't want to deal with it again. It happens sometimes.

I just spoke to them and asked someone in registration if a VW camper Van would be ok. She said it should be but pack a tent to qualify for a “tent spot.” Was a rather odd response.

I stayed there in a 78 Westfalia with no problems but it was 12 years ago. Maybe the person you spoke with thought it was literally a bus. Perhaps call them again.

From their website:
PLEASE NOTE: Campland on the Bay does not accommodate bus, school bus, ambulance, or box truck conversions.

If it were squatters they were concerned about then a limit on time stayed would be sufficient. It's not an insurance thing either because you need insurance to drive there. My read is that they are trying to associate their facility with the rich and famous for whatever big arrogant thrill that gives them.

Not the kind of place or people I want to be seen with!

I'll drop one of my trademark analogies:

I ride motorcycles. I ride way too fast and my bikes are way too loud. I usually restrict my noisy speedfests to the likes of the Kancamagus Highway instead of annoying the peaceful citizens of our various neighborhoods. In truth I'm probably annoying numerous Sierra Club types 'cuz the woods are full of 'em. Our version of the Sierra Club is the Appalachian Mountain Club otherwise known as the Amalgamated Money Corporation.

I digress. It used to be I could swing my fist without harming my fellow humanoids. There used to be lots of face- free space to do so. Problems arise with the proliferation of humanoids. It is both politically incorrect and illegal to punch 'em.

Just the same we have some idiot who rides up and down our street on a sportbike. He holds his bike at close to redline or stuttering against the rev limiter. It must be like the pileated woodpeckers who bang on aluminum ladders or tin roofs for attention this time of year.

Too many analogies for one thread.

Anyway, I'm old enough that I sit in my rocking chair and mutter to myself,

"There ought to be a law!!"

all the while wishing I could grab the shovel leaning against the house and shove the handle through the spokes of Prick Boy's motorcycle. It's a sport bike so it has three spokes per wheel.

Most likely outcome would be more frustration and a broken shovel.

Anyway, sometimes situations that appear to be discriminatory are reactions to our idiot predecessors, obnoxious oxymorons of every stripe who spoiled things for us long before we got here.
