Campgrounds/parks are good examples of the term "One bad apple CAN ruin the whole bunch". Not everyone acts like responsible adults.

Just another example of giving brainless people power to make dumb decisions. Why not just close the campground store, bath houses, community gatherIng points. Restrict camping to those that have fully self contained units such as motorhomes, travel trailers, and fifth wheels. Staff to respond only to emergency situations. Only accept online payments and reservations. But let them stay in business and allow those that can camp. But NOOOO... have to shut everything down regardless of the consequences.

It's a bit late to do that now.
