Camping In A Dump:
Lakeside RV park in Opelika, Alabama is a dump. The worst campground I've ever seen - trashy park, trashy owners. I was a permanent resident for 7 months. For the last two months I was blamed for a former camper's review of the park. I was threatened and intimidated by Butch and Betty Hanvey and finally thrown out with just a few days notice. (Update1: 3 hours to move and owner Butch Hanvey was on my lot threatening my life if I am not out by noon. That man is not all there... Update2: Moved. Butch Hanvey visited a local business, disclosing information that could have only come from emails that I sent and received on his park's wireless internet. So much for security and privacy...) I was falsely blamed for someone else's lawful effort to exercise their right to free speech. The owners admitted to me that everything in the review is true, they just didn't like the way it was presented. Charles hit the nail right on the head, except leaving out that the owners are really trashy too. Unlike Charles I was nearly always able to use the washers and dryers without waiting. The man who greeted newcomers holding a beer worked for owners and is now gone. The wireless internet has to suck because it is based on a Charter cable modem and some cheap home networking gear. My friend's family owns the "nearest store," gives campers discounts on propane, and it is the cheapest around. The park is like a ghost-town for good reason... Campers pass on by without stopping because IT IS A DUMP! Sorry to Charles for ripping off his title, but nothing else fits.
