Blue Hills Ranch - CLOSED

Interesting and enjoyable safari park with a good variety of animals. No self-driving through the park as in others we have been to. This one requires tickets, and a ride in a "side-by-side" Gator or similar vehicle with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide.  RV park is simply a gravel parking lot with hookups poorly placed completely at the rear of the site. 50a electric hookup only, so bring an adapter if you need 20a or 30a, and there is no breaker at post. Sewer is behind the power pole, so you need enough sewer hose to reach the rear of the site, and then around the post ... my 15' hose barely made it.  Much or the original park that opened 6-8 months ago is now taken up with equipment, and the individual who checked us in said they were "phasing out" the RV parking ... that is just as well I think.  What we were told is the recommended access route includes a very old looking one-lane 10 ton bridge. We came in further north and my passengers told me later that we crossed a (much nicer looking) 7 ton bridge on that route. Ours is a 7 ton rig, so we took the 10 ton bridge when leaving, and lightly drug the rear of our RV getting onto the bridge.  Sure glad we were not in our former 20 ton rig!!  I believe there is another route from US 84 that would avoid either of these bridges.  We paid $100 per night for this experience,
