Misrepresented. Not quiet/peaceful
Before booking, I inquired about road traffic noise- site is close to major road. I was told it couldn’t be heard from site, except for occasional motorcycle. Inaccurate. Traffic clearly & loudly audible. Could be heard from inside motorhome, even with two fans & AC running. I wouldn’t have booked had I known true noise level.
I was also disappointed with how my reservation was handled after I requested an early check-out due to the noise. The host knew Hipcamp would charge me, instead of canceling promptly or working with me, the reservation remained active & I was still charged fees. Given that the site wasn’t represented accurately, I feel more consideration should have been given.
After bringing these concerns to host’s attention before & after departure, they were disregarded.
With the host’s permission, I had a pkg. delivered. It was upsetting that my pkg. was opened. I was told their children opened it. Regardless, everyone in household needs to understand- opening someone else’s mail/pkg. w/o permission is a serious privacy violation & can have real consequences. It also raises another concern: what if pkg. had contained private/mature items that children should not be exposed to?
Other concerns- very low water pressure (gauge stayed around 40), difficulty maneuvering around the raised gravel site (esp. with hookups), not being able to open my awning because of sm tree, overgrown grass contributed to mosquitoes, & biting flies attracted by nearby horses.
