TRF Campground Wishlist

[JackGonzo, MD]

One solution to the rude campers would be to set rules for the campground stating no lighting, sound systems, etc and any refusal to comply and you will be removed from the premises. That will include calling the police and having their vehicle(s) towed immediately and the faire is not responsible for any costs this produces. By purchasing the camping ticket you automatically agree to these rules and the faire should be good lawsuit wise.

Okay, let me share my vision of how to remodel the Playtron campgrounds.

Of course, this is only a vision, as it would require TRF management to shell out some money (I estimate about $200K-250K for labor, fuel, and material). Since the return on this investment is many, many years and as a businessman I wouldn't approve it.

Picture the overflow parking area below the campgrounds.

Cut a road straight across, paralleling the present roads. Use the dirt and trees from the road building to build a berm barrier, preventing cars from driving from the overflow parks up to the campgrounds.

There would only be two access roads into the campgrounds- the one on row 1 leading into the Faire and the other on row 24 [?] where the quickie mart is setup.

Build showers/restroom building around row 6-7 and 18-19 on the old overflow parking area that is now blocked off. Build a septic tank/leech bed system under the parking area. Tap into the Faire water supply. Bring 120 VAC from the Faire.

The rest of the overflow parking area that was blocked off is now campground parking, reducing the number of vehicles in the campgrounds. Security can quickly check these vehicles for camping passes. No pass (or the visitor passes I previously suggested), you get towed.

Anyway, if you have any ideas, stop by my trailer on row 2-3 in the Drunken Gnomes camp and share them. I've spent alot of time planning camping, access, facilities, etc. for the Faire that will not be named, plus another that will be announced sometime soon.

Great ideas, Master Pullen!

If the fees go up a bit, I'm sure all of us die-hards would deal with it.
