    Trash in campsite and bathroom was dirty and partitions were falling apart. I paid standby fees for years to MID and never used their water and now MID wants $15 for me to show up 2 hours early. It’s not like a bed needs to be made, bathroom cleaned and carpet vacuumed. If I showed up to a campsite with an electric panel in good shape, the trash was picked up and a picnic table that had decent wood on it, it might be ok. We picked up trash, took a broken pop up someone left and put it in the dumpster, tried to leave it better than it was when we got there. MID, you need to do better.
