Seems like the better rule would be, we do not allow trashy unmaintained rigs. Just like a restaurant where you have to be dressed appropriately. As a matter of principle, I did not reserve there. The 10 year rule is wrong in my opinion. It could be used as a "guide". That did not appear to be the case at this particular resort.

I also made reservations at Gulf Waters, which is an "owner owned" resort, meaning they have a P.O.A. that set the rules for rentals. We've stayed there for Christmas the past two or three years in our 1998 Country Coach and they never questioned it. This year when I called to reserve for December, they asked if I would send pictures of the coach. I wasn't real happy about that, especially since we had been a good customer, but I did send some email pics.

They immediately emailed my reservation confirmation.

I suppose this is done to keep some p.o.s. out of the park, which isn't exclusive to motor homes. They have trailers and fifth wheels, but they are in a seperate section, and are generally late model, well kept rigs.

The resort is first class and they are making attempts to keep it that way, plus the management is abiding by the wishes of those who have purchased rv lots in the resort. Bottom line, there are many other less exclusive parks, private and public along Mustang Island and Aransas Pass, so you have to decide what best suites you.

so if im in illinois, and i have a unit over ten yrs old, and i want to stay in that park in port aransas tx, he will take my reservation and deposit, but he wants me to come by and have it inspected before he will let me stay. what sense does that make. i understand the thing about trashy rv's. but a lot of rv's are the in between type.
has anyone ever asked how old the park is? i stayed at a park in duck north carolina that had that ten yr rule, his place was a dump. elect system must have been 40 yrs old. unlevel sites with mud holes, low voltage, many things that were just worn out. after looking around, i left after one night.
this cuts both ways. if you want just great looking rigs in your camp ground, then invest some money in the infrastructure.
frankly im tired of staying in antiquated campgrounds. that charge like they are outdoor resort, and thier services are like an old mobile home park.

10 year rules are not often intended to keep 10 year old RVs out of the lot, but it's a means of allowing them to screen who is let in and who is not. Pull in with a run down looking "Beverly hillbilly type rig" and they'll use the rule to exclude them.
