LamSan. Sorry you're victory didn't last long. We actually stayed in 6 military campgrounds but didn't count Pelican Roost as they had lost our reservations. I guess I just tried to blank that incident out of my mind.

I'm going to make a guess that you are active duty. I'm retired but I agree with much of your concerns. I think that any one on TDY should be allowed to stay for the length of the TDY. As for PCS, I think from 3 to 6 months is reasonable. That would give them time to search the local housing market. if the area is an area that is hard to find housing, allow a 3 month waver (up to 2 for a total of 1 year) but require they move to a new site. Many of the large civilian campground have stay limits but will let you move to another site in the same campground. Knowing they will have to change sites cuts down on the add on or piling up junk.

For the retire and others limit a stay to 1 month and then require them to change sites. Only take reservations 2 weeks in advance unless they have TDY or PCS orders.

It would be good if all branches were run the same way (uniformed services after all) and even better if one place controls all the campgrounds. For example: this website could setup a small phone center to take phone reservations, and take reservations on the internet. That way the local manager or a camp host could be the onsite enforcer. This would insure that, except for TDY and PCS campers, every site would be available at least once every month and effectively stop homesteading.

You're guessing who is active duty? I'm retired and I believe a lot of folks that write things here are retired. About this website taking reservations? Read the owner's disclaimer. He runs this website and the website is not connected to the military. It's an information website and a darn good one at that. Anyway, I don't much like any of your ideas except that you may be against homesteading.

I agree, I don't understand why a person would homestead on a military rv park. Most mobile home parks except larger rv's and are much less expensive.

Frank A I am new to the forum and thought I was directing my comments to clayandloralee. Anyway I know the owner of this website is not connected to the military. I was posing it as a business idea. You are right, I am against homesteading. Will you critic my Ideas and tell me what you don't like about my ideas and why? Explain what you think the best way to get a handle on it and correct the problem

Welcome to this website SeaPap and using the forum really has been informative and a place we can all express our opinions openly. The number one topic probably is homesteading and you could spend hours reading all the comments and ways we would all like to see it handled or corrected. So many of us have submitted our comments through ICE and other proper personnel on the military installations and so far have not made much progress.
