New to Seasonal Site.
Out of the blue we were called to check out a Seasonal Site. We had put our name on the list last year thinking maybe it would happen next year. But we lucked into a nice site and it was hard to pass ...

This will be our 5th summer at our seasonal site. Family owned campground on a small lake about an hour from home. Everybody knows everybody else. We love it. We get a lot more use out of the camper than we would if it were setting at the house. I’m retired but the other half isn’t so if I want to run up there for a few days with (or without) the grandkids it’s not a big ordeal.
Some people get pretty elaborate on things like decks and landscaping. We kept it simple, just a small deck so it’s easy to get in and out of the site.
Caveman Charlie hit on a good tip. Keep your black tanks closed until they’re full. Where we’re at there’s no sewer hookup (they have a dump station) so they have a service that pumps them out on a regular basis, which is fine if we’ve spent a lot of time there. I finally asked them not to do it unless I was there because I was having problems with the sensors.
The water up there isn’t the greatest either, a lot of iron and sediment. So I set a 4X4 post at the back of the camper and put a dual canister water filter on it. One for smell and one for sediment. I change them once or twice per season and it keeps rust from building up in the stool and shower.
