Charletta, The site accommodations go by much more than just openings, it goes by the length of your trailer or RV, the campers needs etc. There is no reason for me to lie to you nor you to call me a liar. Sorry you did not get a chance to experience our campground. Next time you decide to make reservations and cancel hopefully you do it within the required time frame to get a refund. We are sorry for any inconvenience this caused.
