I got the first shelter and we never had electricity. We called and went around to find someone who could help us but didn't find anybody. Also, the grass was horrible it was so high it looked awful. I rented this shelter before and it was nice but this time it was awful. But a ranger called me she was very nice and told me that she was giving me money back but we got reimbursed 50.00 but we paid 70. So I'm hoping next year when I rent the shelter it all goes well.
