Sunsets, Shade and Central Florida on Your Doorstep

This is a 4-star review, and the reason it's not 1 star is entirely due to how the management staff handled one of the most bizarre situations I've ever had at a campground.​First, the park is fine. But the real story is this:​I was walking Obi, my very sweet 2-year-old Lab mix, who was strapped into his chest harness. A woman with three dogs on three retractable leashes (I know, right?) decided to let them all rush my dog. Obi, being a friendly Lab, got excited and pulled, so I grabbed his HARNESS to get control and walked him away from the chaos, back to our rig.​A few minutes later, I get a knock. It’s the same woman, in tears, telling me, "I saw you! I saw you grab him by his throat!" She threatened to call the police and the ASPCA on me for animal abuse.​I was mad as hell. And honestly, I was also incredibly hurt. Anyone who knows me knows I'm incapable of harming an animal. To be accused of choking my own dog, who I love, was awful.​Here is the most important part of the review: After she left my door, I went looking for her. I found her right outside the office, already deep in her story, crying to the park manager and two other employees.​So, I had to walk right up to this group. It was me, versus her and three park staff. This was the moment it could have gone terribly wrong. Let's be honest—I'm a guy with tattoos and a rock-and-roll look. She's a sweet-looking older lady, playing the victim for an audience. It would have been the easiest thing in the world for them to profile me, believe her, and make my life hell.​They did not.​They listened. They were professional and level-headed. They heard both sides. They didn't take her word for it, and they didn't profile me. By not escalating and not getting involved in her drama, they were completely fair.​Did they "solve" the problem? No. We spent the rest of our stay changing our walking route just to avoid her. That's why this is a 4-star review and not 5. But I will take fair, neutral management over busybody, profiling management any day of the week. I've seen how this story could have gone, and I am genuinely grateful to the staff here for being decent and reasonable.​The Mad Nomad (YouTube)
