Our stay was quiet and comfortable, the only issue stemmed from a rude camper who displayed poor camper etiquette by not leaving their site by the posted noon checkout. We arrived after 3pm to find this person not only still in our paid for spot but wasnt even packed up to leave. We contacted the Tailwater office for which they told us we could get into a non full hookup spot for the night until they left??? So we requested to have a park ranger meet us at the site for which we reserved and paid for to rectify the issue. Cant say enough GREAT THINGS about the park rangers assistance, she advised the person in the RV that they had to move immediately for which they did not. They said we cannot move because someone is in the spot that they are moving to. The ranger took action to another level and said they MUST MOVE OUT OF THE SPOT NOW. The selfish camper took their time packing up their items all the while stating they were not wrong because someone was in their spot at another campsite. So in the end we love this campground,the rangers are top notch,BUT this is something that needs to be addressed there is proper camping etiquette,if there was a medical emergency or mechanical problem we would totally understand. These type of people should be BLACK LISTED from staying at ANY army corps campgrounds for at least a year so they can think about their actions. Again we had really good time the park rangers did a excellent job,but please hold these TYPES accountable for their behavior and ignorance.
