RE: cubic foot of wood? how big is this? damn restrictions
duraflames or presto-logs are good idea, gonna have to see how much they cost..only going two nights so im not gonna lose sleep....
Check out the locals that sell wood down the street from the campground....some times you can get a good deal.

RE: Lake George RV Park Questions.....
I'm the original poster. We were planning to go in the summer of 2014 but we might try to head up this August. We'll have to see what happens. Any more comments on this park? Is the 400 section the best to get for us?
If you heading up next year, check to see if The NEW Moose Hillock is open The same family that runs the NH Moose Hillock is hoping to have this resort campground open!

RE: Never again
I'm sorry to hear that so many people have had such a bad experience on a holiday weekend. We had a great time at Hartwick Pines SP (sold out) and absolutely ZERO problems. I think certain CGs are a magnet for the type of campers the OP ran into no matter what time of the year.
Just my 2 cents, more people camp on the holidays, generally their younger, less experienced and some less courteous. For the most part we don't do the holidays, partly because of what I just said and partly because DW and I usually work on the Big 3 holidays.
That said, over 10 yrs ago we had a terrible experience at an out of state campground because of drunks...we and a bunch of other campers ended leaving the campground early, and it wasn't on a holiday. Still though, I prefer the better odds...non holidays. :)

Haven't opened the socket and/or the open end tool box in 4 years since adding the Robo Grips.
Your post reminded me that I forgot to include channel locks, but I like those Robo Grip Pliers too

Whats in your camping tool bucket?
When camping or RVing there's always that unexpected job or problem that comes up from time to time that needs to be resolved, So I thought it might be a good idea to share what we carry for tools.
This is my bucket list...
A good quality duct tape
Electrical & teflon tape
set of open x box wrenches, up to 3/4"
set of metric wrenches (I have a cheap set)
adjustable wrenches
Volt meter
standred & metric allen wrenches
small folding saw.
level
large & small phillips and slot screw drivers.(I also have a 6in one screw driver)
spare fuses and spare rv lamps (I keep in ziplock bag in glove box)
I bring 2 head lamps and a dewalt powered light.( I bring 2 charged 14 volt batteries)
3/8" drive ratchet wrench with extensions/sockets
Please share more ideas to help all of us.

RE: Loking to take a trip north up the coast any sugestions?
Danforth Bay in NH is on a nice lake with connecting inlets... Sites are large, level and graded and bordered with trees for privacy for the most part....gets great reviews also.
Salisbury Beach State Reservation in MA borders on the Ocean/beach and River, We have used our kayaks there...good fun. Though if you don't like crowds, could try off season and at $24 per night with W/E you will not find anyplace that cheap in NE.

RE: Snakes
I have no problem with snakes, though DW doesn't like them, but not to the point of the OP.
I certainly agree that as we age out our tolerance decreases. As posted earlier I also had no problems with heights when I was younger, now I have a hard time climbing up the ladder to my second floor on my house...and the 2 & 3 floor flat roof where I work, forget about me getting anywhere near the edge.

RE: Jayco X20E TV shelf question
I went with a simpler idea with mine X20e, bought a $120 flat screen with stand, fits perfect, no drilling and plenty good visibility from the seats in the trailer...I just store it while traveling.

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!!
Mike
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...

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: What kind of maintence on my Jayco roof? non handy person
This is what I've used on the rubber roof on my last 2 trailers the past 13 yrs, cleans easy with little elbow grease...never had any issues. Just follow the directions
