Crab Orchard Visitor Center

I was curious how a National Wildlife visitor center could have such bad reviews. Well now I know... I went in to buy a vehicle, and boat tags. The man working was not helpful, he acted like he didn't want to answer any of my questions. When I did get an answer he acted like they were dumb questions, and responded very rudely. It's upsetting that they are paid with tax payers money, but are rude to people who contribute to their wages. Unfortunately that's the only place close to my home where I can get vehicle tags, or I would be going else where.

Came in seeking simple answers related to the National Forest in which this refuge is located. Upon entering the building, the "gentleman" on duty came stumbling out to greet me. While he said no words, his expression shouted at me "What the hell do you want?" I asked my questions, which were just about the simple do's-and-dont's of camping within the National Forest, and the only thing he can come up with is "I don't know, I'm a wildlife refuge." He then gives me the same map of Shawnee I've found at every other rest stop or visitor center and has nothing else to say. I said thanks and left, knowing I wasn't getting any answers here. It bewilders me that someone both so rude and unknowledgeable is allowed to be employed here, representing our nation's parks.

It ticks me off how they stopped prorating season passes this had got to be one of the dumbest things ever. When I was younger I would take time out of my day to go clean up party spots of broken glass and other trash and rangers would alway harass me! The person cleaning up after the ones they obviously didn't harass. God forbid someone goes swimming at devil's kitchen it will pollute the lake unlike that motor oil from those boat engines.
