I love the National Parks. They are so beautiful. But I don’t like to book reservations through the service they are using. The people don’t know nothing about the parks other than what the web-site says. I booked a handicap spot at Cades Cove and told the lady we used cpaps and oxygen and she said I could use the generator in that spot. I got in trouble the next day for using the generator and told them I needed my equipment for breathing and said she would be back to see if she could help and never showed up again. The parks need to do there own booking and they need to have a section for people who needs medical devices to use there generators if they are no electricity . Breathing is very important. If I had a heart attack it would have been the parks fault.
Awesome – glad CampsitePhotos.com was able to help out with campsite selection and you had a great time!
