Lions Campground Red Deer = Crooks

[LBZ]

Wow! Sometimes it blows my mind just to how crooked some people/places can be.
Get back in from camping and as usual I roll into the Lions Campground to dump my crapper tank like I have been for years. Up until 2 years ago it was $4 and then last year they jacked it to $5.

The broad this time goes ya that will be $10.50.
I go no I'm not staying for the night just dumping. She goes yep $10.50. I said nope and drove out.
Paid $5 at Jumbo and washed my trailer too. Like seriously? Double the price from one year to the next? Gimme a break.

Brand new free dump at Penhold multiplex FYI.

That's one thing that ticks me off. Like it costs anything at all to dump a trailer. I can see a private campground like outwest or something but a city place that's retarded

that sure is crappy

Aside from the St. Albert Municipal Dumping station just off of Campbell Rd. Where else is there in Edmonton to dump? Used to be one at the 149th and Yellowhead, but after they redesigned the Husky they took it out. Not only that but they made that station to be very trailer unfriendly. The ones at Drayton and just outside of Edson are godsends and free(for now). Travel Alberta! and take your crap with you. And they wonder why people just let it fly on the side of the road.

People chit is far more disgusting. Buy hey I guess If 10$ is too much to dump the crap out of your 50k toy hauler then getter done in the ditch...lol

Are you supposed to take trailers to a dumping station???

My neighbor's ditch has the greenest grass in the county.

It's funny you mention this!!!! You watch the threads this winter about guys driving a new truck, pulling a new 4 place, with 4 new sleds. And they are the first to b!tch about having to pay an extra 10 bucks for fuel........... lmfao

yeah there is some whinners out there that's for sure. lol

Not sure whether its legal or not, buts its pretty easy to tee into your residential sewer line ( in my house) and purchase a tote from an rv dealer. With a cost of $10, it pays for itself quickly.

Bears don't shiiite fifty gallons in one spot, well except for those really big ones up north maybe.

 

[green-horn]

Wow I can't believe how off track this thread went. I hear you LBZ.... everyone has to make a dollar but how much does a sewer dump really cost?????

 

[imdoo'n]

Take yer friggin shiit home then,

 

[snopro]

Maybe its a septic holding tank and the pumping/cleaning out fees at the campground went up?

 

[sled_wrangler]

most card lock /truck stops have dump stations ... i know the husky in acheson has one ... the esso in nisku and also at the info center in leduc ..... i just dump in my septic tank at home !!

 

[OVERKILL 19]

Flying J haddock a dump, $10 and they don't even have water ! I go to the dump behind the arena!

 

[kbrunlees]

Where does the Husky have one? I have never seen it. Sorry didn't mean to take over a thread but you do have a good point about why it cost so much to dump. I am sure the maintenance is brutal!
