SPECIAL COMMENTS and PERSONAL OBSERVATIONS OF THE TWO RV GYPSIES

 

The two RV Gypsies got a long, 50-amp, full hook-up site. But the office worker put the two RV Gypsies in a row with only one other RV in that entire row, yet they were put right beside them, close and not so cozy. All the sites in that row were the same length and had the same hook-ups. The RV they were put next to looked like it was staying awhile because it had all kinds of chairs, rugs, grills and stuff outside. It was Not pleasant to look at. RVs really should be spaced out a bit when possible.

The roads and sites were dirt, which is not unusual at KOA's. The two RV Gypsies were given three Wi-Fi codes, one for each device, although they had not asked for that many. It did not matter anyway because the campground Wi-Fi was super slow and the two RV Gypsies did not use it. They do have their own Wi-Fi which is a good thing because it worked nice and fast. The brochure said no routers allowed and that cell phones and some other wireless devices may interfere with the signal.

The pool still had water in it, but the hot tub was covered over with a very big and heavy looking cover, so that must mean that it was not to be used. It did not matter to the two RV Gypsies, because as usual, they were not interested in those items. The sign on the pool gate said that the pool closes at 8 p.m. That is unreasonably early in the opinion of the two RV Gypsies.

Cable TV had adequate channels that worked well.

Campground rules state that children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all times. Yeah, right say the two RV Gypsies. This is not what they notice at any of the campgrounds, especially KOA's.

Walnuts kept dropping off the tree onto the RV roof with a big thud. That was really annoying.
There did not seem to be a lot to do in this area that interested the two RV Gypsies.

TRAINS were heard in the evenings and throughout the night, but they were not super loud, but still, Karen Duquette hates to hear trains in the campground, especially at night.

The rest of the campground rules seemed pretty standard. But the rules did not say anything about washing or not washing vehicles. Check-in time was 1 p.m. Check-out time was 11 a.m. Late or early fees are $3 per hour for RV or tent sites and $10 per hour for rentals. (Prices always subject to change)
