 The
two RV Gypsies stayed at this campground because it had a restaurant
on site and since Lee Duquette just spent 5 hours fixing a broken hose
on the RV, he was tired and thought this would be convenient. However,
the menu consisted of hamburgers, a polish dog, reindeer chili, pie
and ice cream. Karen Duquette does not consider this a dinner or a meal,
especially since they had no lunch on this date, but she had to settle
for the polish dog. Yuck!

Below: The
grounds had a lot of junk everywhere. They called it an "outdoor
museum." REALLY????? |
|
Lee Duquette also chose this
campground because of the "pancake toss" where someone
might win a free breakfast in the morning if they can throw a pancake
into the bucket. Each person got two tries. The first was a practice
throw. (One lady got the first pancake in the bucket, but that did NOT
count for the free breakfast because it was called her "practice
throw". She missed on the second throw, so no free breakfast for
her.)
But before the throwing began each person was asked to introduce themselves,
say where they are from and anything else they wanted to say. That took
a long time and Karen Duquette was already bored, plus she was getting
bit by mosquitoes. |

Neither of the two RV Gypsies
won the pancake breakfast (actually, nobody won). Lee Duquette took
a photo of Karen trying, and Karen took a video of Lee trying. But Karen
does not know how to post videos on this website. |

Below: The RV of the two RV
Gypsies. The roads and sites were gravel, and the site of the two RV
Gypsies was very long pull-through, wide, and nicely shaded. No TV.
Wi-Fi at office and cafe, not at sites. No sewer was available when
the two RV Gypsies checked in, although the campground map showed 13
sites full hook-up. As usual, Alaska does not have pools. Campfires
and fire pits not permitted. Standard campground rules applied. Check
out time on this date was 11 a.m. - always subject to change. |

Note: Comments made here do
not make the campground good or bad in general. They are just the personal
observations of the two RV Gypsies on a certain date. Lee and Karen
Duquette are not "campers". Their RV is their ONLY home. They
park their RV in various campgrounds, and then they leave the campground
and spend most of the day exploring the area. So they seldom use any
of the amenities offered at the campground, except hopefully having
full hook-ups, cable TV and Wi-Fi on their site. Everyone has different
expectations from a campground, based on their own personal needs and
anything posted here or elsewhere on this website is always subject
to change. |
