| Worst camping experience ever |
Pros:
1. Cleanest bathrooms!
2. Nice hand soap
Cons:
1. It is very loud, 50 yards from River Road, traffic all night.
2. To get to the river, children must cross a busy street w/semi-trucks.
3 Inconvenient to carry kids, + supplies across river road + guard rails, curbs, a locked gate, and dirt stairs if you use strollers.
4. Dirty swimming area, dusty, muddy, with rocks. Your kids will be covered in mud.
5. Your campsite will be too close to other tents about 10 feet away.
6. There's no cell signal or internet connectivity, so there's no way to locate other points of interest outside this campground without asking the owner.
7. The owner, Ranger Chris, is a hostile host.
You're staying in someone's personal domain, as I learned too late. On our first night Ranger Chris vehemently confronted me with an ultimatum, "Last warning. You, your kid and your dog either get in your tent and go to bed now or you will be removed from my property tonight!" It was just after dinner at about 8-9 PM. We weren't playing music. My little dog is friendly and doesn't bark. I'm sure I was bothering no one, but Ranger Chris. We split 2 bottles of white wine between 3 adults. That's 3.5 glasses each. I know about nuisance campers. No one found us a nuisance except owner Chris. The kids were playing with our little dog & he wandered outside our designated space twice.
We stayed here in a Tent.
