What happened this evening at Low Water Bridge Campground struck a nerve, and I feel it is necessary to share.
First and foremost, we respect everyone who walks through the doors of our campground office, and we recognize that every person has the right to their own opinions and beliefs. However, what occurred at our campground today crossed a very serious line.
While in the office, I noticed an American flag being waved upside down at a nearby campsite. I walked outside to get a better look and saw that the flag had been discarded on the ground, as shown in the pictures.
At first, we thought it might be a towel that someone had tossed down after getting out of the river—but we were wrong. Concerned and curious, I approached the campsite and picked the flag up off the ground. After seeing how it had been intentionally hung upside down, I addressed the guests.
One of them told me, “That’s mine,” to which I responded, “It’s mine now.” And I walked away.
Afterward, we were met with hateful and aggressive behavior. Racial slurs were directed at us, we were threatened with having the Sheriff’s Office called, and one individual claimed to be actively serving in the United States Air Force and stationed at Quantico. I responded, “Then you, of all people, should know better.”
They also threatened to leave us bad reviews. Honestly, a bad review is nothing compared to what so many others have sacrificed—and even lost—while fighting for the flag they had disrespected and discarded on the ground.
Regardless of anyone’s political views, the American flag deserves to be treated with respect—not discarded on the ground like a piece of trash. No disagreement ever excuses racial slurs, threats, or hateful conduct.
Low Water Bridge Campground is private property and a family-oriented business. We will not tolerate racism, harassment, disrespectful conduct, or behavior intended to create conflict and disturb our guests.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but while visiting our campground, respectful behavior is required. If that is too much to ask, then Low Water Bridge Campground is not the place for you. 🇺🇸
To everyone who has served or is currently serving, to the families who have lost a service member, and to the spouses and loved ones who stand beside those serving in our Armed Forces—we thank you, honor you, and are deeply grateful for your service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸 @
