The good news is we were able to set up the travel trailer before the rain came. The bad news is the rains were of Biblical proportions and by the next morning our campsite was a muddy mess.
We camped in the A section which is nice because it is a small peninsula with water on three sides. The downside is that our side of the peninsula was virtually without grass, but there was plenty of red clay.
I don't want our experience to sound too negative. The folks at the check-in counter in the Visitor's Center were nice, and you could even buy ice there. The campsites themselves were set up well, with asphalt pads for the RV's, a nice gravel pad adjacent to the RV with firepit, grill and picnic table, and a nice walkway with railing leading down to another gravel pad for setting up a tent or just relaxing in lawn chairs at the water's edge. We had full hook-ups and both 30 and 50 amp service.
Also, we were camping with my twin sister and her husband, and being able to have a week-end with no obligations was wonderful. For a treat my sister made banana pudding and I could have eaten the whole thing (but I didn't.)
The pictures we took were just this side of breathtaking and I will try to show them here.
During our stay we found that our surround sound did not work, and a couple of the cabinet doors on our Jayco Eagle broke. We took the unit back to Crain RV and they replaced the surround sound and repaired the cabinet doors. Can't say enough nice things about the people at Crain RV in Little Rock, AR.
Our next planned adventure is out west. We are departing June 15 for the Grand Canyon. I will do some speaking engagements on the road but I know there will be plenty of time for sightseeing. After all, I am alway looking for inspiration for that next great poem.
Until then (or if the need to wander strikes us between now and June 15) Happy Trails.
