RE: Gettysburg spring friendship gathering May 17, 18, 19, 2013

Were home...8 1/2 hrs drive...drive was going great...making good time, then about 12 miles from the tappen-z bridge all the way to West Hartford CT traffic was just awful!!

This is what happens when I'm away from civilization for 4 days...on my way into work this morning I heard on the radio that some of the rails in NY were down....which explains a lot why...

RE: The ideal campground..

Large level sites with gravel, at least one fully grown tree dept between sites for shade and some privacy. Fully stocked camp store, clean bathrooms, in-forced campground polices/security, laundry, Campground boarding either lake,river,ocean or forest for hiking.

RE: Gettysburg spring friendship gathering May 17, 18, 19, 2013

Hi everyone, has anyone tried fishing or heard if the fishing was any good on the marsh creek that is next to the campground?
Was thinking of bringing some fishing gear and maybe throwing in a fly line or some lures.

RE: RV Park Website lies rant

It is darn disappointing to arrive at a park that I have already paid for 2 nights at only to find it's a run down place full of permanent residents and marginal (if any) amenities.
I'd say this applies to a good 30% of the parks I've been to. I suppose they get away with it because of the transience of anyone who might care. I wish people posting RV park reviews would give more details and note such discrepancies, as I do.
There. I'm done ranting now. Thank you.
I've been more fortunate with Rv park reviews, really haven't had a bad experience since using the site...though usually I'm posting questions about the campground on one of the camping forums also...helps increase my odds of a good camping experience. That said I will ignore most reviews that are just about a beef with a campground owner or some incident or if the review doesn't fall within the same pattern of the other reviews.

RE: Do you use RV Park Reviews dot com?

Almost 180K reviews in their data base and during peak summer months their getting over 100 reviews per day...I don't think any review site can stack up to this...RV Park reviews has never steered me wrong.

RE: Campfires: Love them or hate them?

We like campfires for the most part..though if its real hot I won't do one.
My pet peeve is green fire wood, if I don't like the looks of the wood that the campground is selling, I'll buy the wood from either the locals or at the supermarket.

RE: Nice campgrounds PA to ME

Not many above average camgrounds by I84 in the eastren part of ct. But in Willington Ct there's Wilderness Lake Camground... It's an okay camground, good for a day or two before heading north.
