You looked on the map of the site that you had & realised that the giant letter "T" meant washroom. Perfect! You thought, we will have one close by....wrong.
When you get there, it is closed, actually, a good 90% of the small washrooms were closed due to Covid.
The argument given by the park was that the staff were unable to stay on top of the cleaning and, if the toilet didn't have a flushable toilet and running sink, they could not guarantee that the campers would not contract the virus. Fair enough, right? Ya, ok. I get it.
Then one would assume then that when they originally designed the park, they worked into the design an equation that helped them to figure out how many toilets a camp ground would need based on the number of occupants.
If they close down a great number of toilets due to Covid, then they should also limit the number of campers allowed on the sites. Right?
Wrong.
Packed! Full to the gills! Overflowing!
Not one site empty, well, that's not entirely true. Most of the empty sites, including ours, were empty due to the fact that we couldn't take it anymore & left early.
Now I'm a guy. If I'm desperate & have to take a pee, I'll find a tree on my site to relieve myself, don't be too shocked if you see this happening everywhere! Why?
Because the last thing that I'm going to do is to walk up hill for 10 minutes to get to a toilet that has a line up a mile long full of angry ladies who can't or won't just squat in the bush!
Imagine that it is also that time of the month! Believe me, my wife & daughter both got a visit from the ko fairy while we were there. They were a mess.
The guys on the other hand in the line are there for one thing only.....to take a crap. Why else would we be there?
So, ladies.....you'll have to endure the sounds & smells that nature has to offer.
Don't worry, the camp staff, which consists of local teenagers driving around on 4x4's, will be by eventually to bring you some tp & soap and possibly even give the toilet a spray.
If you're bringing your kids,....that's a whole other challenge.
Best advice, if you are unfortunate enough not to have an RV with a can, get ahead of this disaster & buy a small portable toilet with privacy tent for those midnight emergencies. Bring a roll of tp & sanitizer to the washroom, especially in the am before the staff get there to replenish it, who are, by the way, to cut those poor bastards some slack, working for minimum wage & having to expose themselves to greater covid risk.
Also, keep in mind that because of the toilet situation, there are a lot more cars whipping around to get the butts to the can in time.
I know that you've been under a lot of stress & you need to get away like you used to.....
Take my advice,
Cancel.
Stay at home.
Camp in the yard if you can & if you must go,
Take a can! read more
