Visit my family in the city
I enjoyed my stay. Only one problem it's too over priced. I wish they would charge one price per month than$520 per week
Winter Visit for just one night, no water
We are returning to the south after spending a couple months of fall in New England. We have short driving days and we try stop after every couple hundred miles for one night at a time, just to sleep, shower and eat.
This was our first stop and primarily chosen because it was one of the few places along our route that was open for RVs in the off season. They currently only accept reservations over the phone. The person I spoke to was friendly and helpful. It was more expensive than places we usually stay, and none of their amenities/buildings were open (I was warned about this when I reserved, so it was not a surprise.) We arrived after 8pm but I had called ahead to confirm our reservation. Everything is handled no-contact so there is no paper work to sign or pick up. Over the phone I was told what our site would be, and repeated it several times for confirmation, but when we arrived someone else was in our site. I tried to call the main number again but no one answered. We decided that since it was just one night and were weren’t even unhitching, we would simply pull into the empty site next to the one we were supposed to have. Unfortunately at this site, the heated water pipe was broken so we had no water for the night.
I could have kept trying to get ahold of someone, but we were tired and it really wasn’t worth it for our short amount of time to try to get it fixed or move to another site. Instead we just packed up and left earlier than we expected.
At least we had a place to park for the night, and power, but unfortunately it was very overpriced for what we got.
I imagine that camping here during the regular season is a much better experience. As it seems to be rare to find open campgrounds for winter camping, this is probably a good option, just be warned that some sites might not have working water and staff could be difficult to get in touch with after hours.
Campground with hookups
Rita who helped make our reservation is a treasure. Extremely helpful! Basic sites with full hookups for about $80 a night. All the buildings are closed due to Covid, so no laundry & no bathroom.
