Campsite was not cleaned. There was a big full bag of garbage, grill was filthy covered with melted cheese and charcoal, firepit was filled with ashes and unburned wood, cigarette butts all over. The ants were out of control ! We had to go to wamart and buy all kinds of ant spray.

Check your site for a deluge of ants before you set up. Treat your site or ask the host to set up treatment of site. This area as a real problem and the ants are invasive.
LOOK UP check the trees in the area of your site for dead limbs. We had several fall and hit the camper and awning. It was so bad we had to switch sites.
