Cedar Haven Resort, Freeport,
Maine
Nice campground. Good Sam
discount. Hilly area, large pond for the kids, little beach around
it. We were at the edge of the campground so it seemed a lot more
private to us. Campground manager (Missy) was very
helpful. They have a modem hook up in a little room behind the counter
at the office. There is a charge for its use.
This campground is
close to L.L. Bean and other shopping stores.
Our first campground, our first
lesson. Don't pull into a campground after dark. It's just not
worth it.
Village Green Campground, Brimfield,
Massachusetts
This campground is
on top of a hill and beside the highway. It appears to be a nice
campground for families. Lots of activities for the kids. Only
water and electric at the sites. There is a dump station. We found
the sites to be uneven as was the road getting into the campground. If
you're towing anything, be very careful.
We found a very nice
little Italian restaurant in Brimfield. Excellent food and large quantities.
Very reasonable prices too. Of course, Ole Sturbridge Village is just a
couple of miles away. This is a must see if you enjoy history.
It's a New England Village set in 1830. The employees are well versed on
both the time period as well as the individual jobs they are doing. I
spoke with a Lawyer, Banker, Shoemaker (don't make the mistake of calling him
a cobbler), Blacksmith, Tinsmith, and several others. It was a lovely
day, well spent. We certainly recommend a visit if you haven't been
there before.

Lazy K Campground, Bechtelsville,
Pennsylvania
This campground was
an excellent find. Although they did not have sewer hook-ups, they made
up for it by having cable at no additional cost. They also offered an
SKP discount of 15%. Nice grassy, level sites, friendly employees and
even though there were lots of kids it was still a quite
campground.
The campground is
just off route 100. There are a number of little towns within 5 miles
and some rather large shopping areas too. The employees at the Wal-Mart
tried to be helpful in pointing us in the
They had a phone
line for computers, it was outside, beside the soda machine. Sort of a
strange location but the office hours were strange too. They had a
switch inside the office to turn on/off the phone connection so you had to
catch them when the office was open, otherwise the phone was turned off.
All in all a very pleasant campground.

Turkey Creek RV Village, Branson,
Missouri
This is our first
Escapees Rainbow campground. We had a wonderful reception.
The campground is just minutes
from Old downtown Branson and just a short hop to many of the shows in
Branson. It has 67 full-hookup sites. It is modem friendly with
the normal rest rooms, showers, laundry, dump station and telephones. It
sits on the banks of Lake Taneycomo and Turkey Creek. There is also a
dry camp area. One of the bennies is discount tickets to many of the
area attractions.
Of course, Branson
is one of the premier entertainment areas in the United States. There
are numerous theater shows, lake activities, amusements, as well as the Silver
Dollar City theme park, complete with its own natural cavern. If you're
ever in this area and don't stay here, you'll miss a wonderful experience.

Village Green Campground, San Antonio,
Texas
This is our first
Good Sam campground. It's a very nice looking campground. Well
maintained, reasonably priced and near where we wanted to be. Level lots
with full hook-ups and our lot was a pull-thru. It's always nice when
you get one of those! Our lot was on the last row and we could see where
they are expanding the size of the Park. They seem to have plenty of
land.
The club house is
very nice and doesn't seem to be used as much as other ones we've seen.
The modem hook-up is in one corner and very private. There is a nice
arrangement for sitting around and watching TV. The only draw-back, and
there is nothing the Park can do, is the emergency vehicles that use the main
street beside the park. It seems that San Antonio, or at least the
northeast side, has lot of emergency calls.

Saguaro CO-OP SKP, Benson, Arizona
The Saguaro CO-OP SKP park is a lovely
place. This is an Escapee (SKP) park. There are about 300 lots
that are leased in a co-operative agreement. When people are on the road
or otherwise not using their lot, they place the lot in a rental pool.
Other SKP members can rent the lot just like any other RV Park. The lots
are large, level and each has full services including cable. Many of the
lots have concrete pads and others have a casita (small house) with
patio's. The entire park is located on a sloping hill so the roads are
terraced giving each lot a beautiful view of the San Pedro Valley. This
is really a nice place to stay.
They have a very nice club house and the
activities are well organized and on-going. We've really enjoyed the
place. We've square danced, played bingo (I won), dominos, Ginger joined
the Chorus and I've become pretty active in the genealogical group.
We're close to Tombstone, where we watched a couple of shoot-outs, and did a
little shopping. We're only about 35 minutes from Tucson and also from
Fort Huachuca. All of this for $190 a month. Such a deal.
