Camden State Park的点评

2026年08月29日发布于: 海外

点评：Although the park itself is beautiful and we have enjoyed camping here several times in the past, unfortunately, this most recent experience was disappointing, largely due to the way our group was treated and the lack of clear communication regarding changes to the campground policies.

We checked into Group Camp 1 and asked about shower facilities. At check-in, we were shown on the map where we could access the showers, so we had no reason to believe there would be an issue. We have stayed here several times before and were familiar with how the campground operated.

Our group had only four vehicles. In previous visits, we had always been able to park our vehicles within the campground loop. On the second morning, while we were preparing breakfast, a member of the park maintenance crew informed one of our family members that vehicles were no longer allowed to remain parked in the campground and would need to be moved to the parking lot. We did not have an opportunity to ask questions or clarify the change before the crew left.

We continued preparing breakfast with the intention of moving the vehicles once we were finished. Shortly afterward, the park ranger drove quickly across the bridge and directly up to our shelter. There were children throughout the campground, and his approach and demeanor were unnecessarily aggressive. He immediately confronted us, angrily stating that we had already been told to move our vehicles and had not done so. The entire atmosphere changed—the children were visibly startled, everyone became quiet, and what had been an enjoyable camping trip suddenly became very uncomfortable.

We asked for clarification about the parking policy because this was different from our previous experiences at the park. We were told the policy had changed the previous year under new management in an effort to protect the grass. We completely understand wanting to protect the campground and were willing to follow the rule. We simply would have appreciated being informed clearly and given a reasonable opportunity to move our vehicles, rather than being approached in such a hostile manner.

We were also told by the ranger that we were not permitted to use the showers because we had reserved the group campground. This was especially frustrating because the showers had specifically been pointed out to us when we checked in. If Group Camp 1 guests are not permitted to use those facilities, that information should be clearly communicated at check-in.

We explained that we were in the middle of preparing breakfast and would move the vehicles as soon as we were finished. He eventually agreed and left. The issue could have been handled very differently with simple, respectful communication.

Unfortunately, that was not the only issue during our stay.

Later that day, the ranger supervisor stopped by to inform us that a marathon would be taking place on the trail running through the campground. We were told to expect minimal disruption because the runners would primarily be using the trails. Unfortunately, that was not our experience.

Starting as early as 7:00 a.m., we were repeatedly awakened by bathroom doors constantly slamming as runners came through and used the facilities. This continued for nearly two hours, with runners entering one after another. Several runners also came into our shelter area, where we had personal belongings, apparently believing that was where the race would begin. We repeatedly had to redirect people and eventually contacted park staff because the disruption had become excessive.

We understand that parks host events and that changes to campground policies sometimes need to be made. Our concern is the lack of communication and, most importantly, the manner in which these issues were handled. We were respectful and willing to follow the rules; we simply expected the same level of respect in return.

We have enjoyed this park in the past, which is why this experience was particularly disappointing. The campground itself is great, but clearer communication with campers and a more professional, respectful approach from staff would have made a significant difference.

There was also an additional issue involving damage to our vehicle. While our vehicle was parked, it was hit and sustained damage. This was particularly frustrating given the circumstances surrounding the park’s parking policy and the fact that we were instructed to move our vehicles from the campground to the designated parking area. We expected our vehicle to be safe while parked and were disappointed to leave the campground dealing with damage that occurred during our stay.

This added another level of frustration to an already disappointing experience. We hope the park will take these concerns seriously and provide clearer communication regarding parking, campground rules, event-related disruptions, and procedures for handling vehicle damage.

翻译：虽然公园本身很美，我们过去也多次在这里露营并乐在其中，但遗憾的是，这次的体验却令人失望。主要原因在于工作人员对待我们团体的方式，以及露营地政策变更时缺乏清晰的沟通说明。

我们办理了团体露营区的入住手续后，便询问了淋浴设施的位置。办理入住时，工作人员还在地图上指给我们看哪里可以使用淋浴，因此我们根本没料到会出现什么问题。我们以前多次来过这里，对露营地的运作方式也很熟悉。

我们一行人只有四辆车。以往每次来，我们都能把车停在露营地内。然而第二天早上，就在我们准备早餐时，公园的维护人员告诉我们家中的一位成员：现在不允许车辆再停在露营地里了，必须移到外面的停车场去。在工作人员离开之前，我们没有机会提问或澄清这项变更事宜。

我们继续准备早餐，打算吃完后就挪动车辆。没过多久，公园管理员驾车飞速穿过桥梁，直接开到了我们的避难所前。当时露营地里到处都是孩子，而他的驾驶方式以及态度都显得毫无必要地咄咄逼人。他立刻就向我们发难了。他生气地声称，我们早就被要求把车开走，但我们并未照做。整个氛围瞬间变了——孩子们明显吓到了，所有人都安静下来，原本愉快的露营之旅一下子变得极不自在。

我们询问了有关停车规定的详情，因为这与我们以往在公园里的经历有所不同。对方告诉我们，为了保护草坪，在新管理层的领导下，这项规定于去年做了修改。我们完全理解保护露营区的重要性，也愿意遵守相关规定。只是我们希望能得到明确的告知，并获得合理的时间来挪动车辆，而不希望被以如此敌对的方式对待。

那位管理员还告诉我们，由于我们预订了团体露营区，因此不允许使用淋浴设施。这真让人沮丧，因为在办理入住手续时，工作人员特意向我们介绍了那些淋浴设施。如果1号团体营地的住客不被允许使用这些设施，那么在入住时就应该把这一信息明确告知我们。

我们解释说正在准备早餐，一做完就会把车开走。他最终同意了，然后离开。其实只要以礼貌、坦诚的方式沟通，这个问题完全可以妥善处理。

可惜的是……那并不是我们逗留期间遇到的唯一问题。

当天晚些时候，护林员主管过来告诉我们，将有一场马拉松比赛在穿过营地的步道上举行。他称预计不会造成太大干扰，因为跑者们主要会使用那些步道。可惜，实际情况并非如此。

从早上7点起，我们就不断被吵醒——跑者们进出时使用卫生间，导致门频繁被摔响。这种情况持续了近两个小时，跑步者一个接一个地涌入。有不少跑者还进入了我们放置个人物品的避难区，他们显然以为那里就是比赛的起点。我们不得不反复引导这些人，最后因为混乱状况实在严重，只好联系公园工作人员。

我们理解公园会举办各类活动，也明白有时需要对露营政策作出调整。我们所担忧的是沟通环节的缺失，以及……最重要的是处理这些问题的方式。我们始终保持尊重，也愿意遵守规则；我们只是希望得到同等程度的尊重作为回报。

我们以前也很喜欢这个公园，正因如此这次的体验才格外令人失望。露营地本身很不错，但如果能与露营者进行更清晰的沟通，工作人员也能以更专业、更尊重的态度对待游客，情况就会大不一样了。还有一个问题，那就是我们的车辆遭到了损坏。当车辆停放时，它被撞到了并出现了损坏。考虑到公园的停车政策，以及我们被要求将车辆从露营地移至指定停车区这一事实，这种情况实在令人沮丧。我们原以为车辆在停放期间会是安全的，但离开露营地时却发现车辆在我们逗留期间受到了损伤，这让我们非常失望。这让本就令人失望的体验更加糟糕了。我们希望公园管理方能重视这些问题，并就停车规定、露营规则、活动带来的不便以及车辆损坏的处理流程给出更清晰的说明。
