camping trip #2 a.k.a "crap" :-(

This trip we were not as fortunate as going to Murray's beach. We thought we'd try somewhere new to us. I spent a couple of hours looking for places within a 50 mile radius of Moncton N.B. finally feel upon a website that looked promising...rule #1 NEVER believe the website *shudder
We called Three bears family campground and reserved a spot they asked the size of our trailer (should have told them about the slide and the screened in room with awning). When we got there the spot was the smallest spot we'd ever seen and there were 3 people trying to put their trailers and tent trailers in the adjacent sites: not good! like trying to get food at the free all you can eat buffet when all the dieters are on strike lol! The sites were smallish and very closed together. About 80% or more of the trailers are seasonal campers who are there all the time so the better spots are taken. Anyways, we got them to give us a bigger spot which we thought was great until night rolled around...we had very loud neighbors who talked and shouted until 3:45AM!! ugg! luckily our kids slept through it but we didn't, and the same thing for the next night too but this time my youngest didn't sleep through it all.
We stayed they June 3-5. Check out time was 1pm and we were home before their office even opened to check out. There were a lot of things we didn't like about this place, the pools had no water, the swings were "swingless" until lunchtime Saturday, there was only 1 functioning bathroom in the park about a 7 minute walk from us, the other one near us was closed until after supper on Saturday. It was like they opened the park a day early. My husband said the men's washroom was absolutely disgusting. We decided we won't be going back there. The nicest thing about the place was the free showers but at almost $34 per night, I'd rather stay home. This place on my scale gets a 1 out of 10 but if you would have asked me the day we got home I'd have said minus infinity or something ridiculous like that.
