This helped a lot a few years back when some idiot in our group got the dates wrong and we arrived a day early...

Nice sunset pics again, and nice to see you have small and healthy bite-sized meat on the fire!

And if that field ranger has slept upright in the shower (or in a bath tub if available...)
I'm pretty sure there are tale telling signs for the next guests that the unit had been occupied but not take care of

is this a problem if it is available ????

So my question once again......... did he pay for it

maybe he got it for free? maybe he paid? who knows???? is it that important as there were units available? if we don't know the circumstances behind him occupying the unit then................

The first thing I did was to check the availability sheets to see how many of these units were open that night

clever investigative stuff mr alf



3 of these cottages with a view were available and no 4beds with a view so I assume they gave this 6 bed unit to the field ranger to use for the night

So do they clean this unit the next day after he left or do they think it was unoccupied

are there keys for the unit? if so, i am certain that housekeeping would be aware of the fact that the unit was allocated to someone
do you think that this chap just wondered around the camp until he found a vacant unit that was unlocked and just pulled in for the night ?

Maybe I don't want to know the answer of that question

I wasn't impressed to see this

but it was our last night in the park.
