The roamingtimes poll
(July/August 2001)

The campground rating system
You go to a movie - you read the critics views and ratings.  Are you equally influenced by the ratings when you select a campground?  How much do you know about the system, and how fair do you think it is?  This is the July/August poll subject - your views will be of interest to campers and campowners alike..
