Help Yourself?

Just now, I was sitting out under our awning, taking it easy, when all of a sudden a Class C whizzed by me (ignoring the Park Host sign, but what else is new?). I knew the driver hadn't been to the main office, which I can see from my site, so I jumped on the cart to follow him and see where he was going. He was already backing into a waterfront site when I reached him. I asked if he had reservations, and he said no, but said he saw several waterfront sites empty and had picked the one he wanted. We are totally sold out of our waterfront and "preferred" sites and have no room for walk-ins over this holiday weekend; we're sold out all next week, too, because a Casita* rally group will be arriving on Monday for a week's stay. I explained the situation to the man, who wasn't too happy at being told that we basically had nothing open until December 2nd and that he'd have to leave the spot he was trying to claim. Had I not been sitting outide, he'd have been hooked up and probably already on the fishing pier before we discovered we were short one site. We have a few empty spots at the moment, but they are reserved and paid for, and the occupants will be in sometime this afternoon or evening.

After 6 months of similar instances, I still wonder what kind of RVer just drives into a park and sets up in a spot without reservations or without checking in with the park host or office staff first. If we had a gate, the problem would be solved, maybe. But the design of the park doesn't provide an area for a gate, so I will continue to play chase in my little LCRA cart!

*I was told that we really don't have a "Casita" rally coming in. We have a "fiberglass" rally group arriving, which is what the group prefers to be called, because some of their RVs are other brands, even though they look like Casitas. Still, on our park calendar, the Casitas are coming, the Casitas are coming . . .
