Weekend at Icicle

The campground is fairly quiet. We parked in space 81 so we could hear the raid noise from Icicle Road. Up in this area, the road is paved but lots 76-87 are gravel. Not a big deal unless it rains as those are on the lower end of a slope. So we got wet when it rained and had a bit of an issue with water pooling next to the electric outlet but the staff was right on it and dug a small trench for the water to drain. Spaces 76-80 didn’t have that issue. We have a 25 foot trailer and that island in the road can be a bit of a problem. Spaces are a bit close together but we were hiking most of the days we were there. The weekend nights were pretty quiet. WiFi and cell service was bad. We use Verizon and pretty much had to go into town for service.

Quite campground

A nice spot nestled up in the hills. Yes, as stated, it is in a hill and there are areas that if you are walking could be an incline. Nothing serious but I suppose if you’re using the facilities and walking back in something like flip flops then yes, it would be a pain. I only have it a 4 star because we didn’t not use the showers and only went to the office to check in. Staff was friendly and helpful. We stayed in space 31 and didn’t have very good reception for WiFi and Verizon was a bit sketch inside the trailer, outside was better. The spot is long, however #31 slopes at the back of the spot so it isn’t as long as we’d like it to have been. But we made it work. We stayed June 7-9 and our spot was shady.

Lakebay getaway for newbies

First off, let me start by saying this was our maiden voyage with our new trailer. It has been years since I’ve camped in a trailer and it was my wife’s first time so we needed a place that was close and had cell service. Robyn was a gracious host and made sure our needs were met. We stayed in lot #1 which was the largest and we had plenty of room for my truck and my wife’s car plus two dogs. The lot is east to maneuver and getting to the hookups. The road can get a little busy but other than one loud car, we barely knew it was there. Across the road is a park area and a pier. The pier is old but walkable but the deck that the building is on is closed. Penrose State Park is still closed for camping but there are a lot of trails to hike. We use Verizon and no issues
