Well what a long week. We stayed in one of the sights with a concrete pad, stainless steel grill and fire ring. The sight was dead on level! There are no trees to speak of so the AC unit was working OT in the 90* plus heat. The sites down near the lake are not as level and they are kind of primitive with no sewer hookup etc. Speaking of sewer. The smell in the RV was terrible. Part of it was the rubber seal in the toilet didn't hold water which let the smell come up. I fixed that by lining the bottom with toilet paper and putting some treatment in the tank. I thought it was just us but after talking to others they all complained of the smell coming back into the RV. We had problems with the 30 amp service. Running the AC and putting the microwave on would trip the breaker. We thought it might be a fluke thing but again a lot of people were out there at all times of the day flipping breakers outside too.
Cell service. I had 4g LTE Verizon service 90% of the time and 3G the other 10%. NO issues with cell service at all.
The positives of the RV "Resort".
1. A lot of the things are included in the price of staying there. Mini-golf, table tennis, pool use, fitness room, corn hole games , paddle boats etc. The horse rides are $30 a person and my kids enjoyed it. I don't get on horses. Scares me to death.
2. The bath houses are VERY clean!!!!!
3. The employees are very nice and are always out and about cleaning something or putting down mulch etc.
4. Very close to wineries if that is your thing. It is my wifes thing not mine LOL.
The negatives...
1. Once you have sat by the pool, played mini golf, tennis and worked out there is nothing to do. Some like this but having a 13 and 11 year old this was torture. I was bored after the first day.
2. You have to go to C-Ville to get to out of the boonies. I live in the boonies and don't really want to vacation in the boonies unless there is a good trout stream.
3. The various little issues with the breaker, sewer smell etc. Not a big deal but it got to be a PITA after a few days.
4. The "bluegreen" sales lecture. They weren't overly aggressive but they do want you to buy points at a price starting at $38,000 ;)
All in all I won't go back. I live on a lake and could have done the same things at home and saved a chunk of cash.
