Personally, I like FHUs. I, too, have done weekends with no sewer hookup, but I prefer that it's there. I'm one that, once that motor starts, it's to get out of the campground. Not to drive to the dump station where it'll take me another 5-10 minutes or so to get out, if there is no wait.
If hubby went without sewer and is uncomfortable doing it again, why force him to do it again? Do the FHU campgrounds make you more uncomfortable than camping without it makes him?
I agree, FHUs are great. We have pulled out of campgrounds and seen long lines at the dump stations and been glad we had sewer at our site so we could take our time.
But, I definitely think it's worth at least TRYING a local state park that has awesome reviews (not only on rvparkreviews.com, but also from actual users who have posted on this thread). If they hate it, I wouldn't force the issue again, but I don't see the harm in trying it. As many have mentioned, the sites are often more secluded, the campgrounds less crowded, there are beautiful trails and activities for the kids, and it's HALF the price or less of many FHU campgrounds we frequent! I am betting that those things will far outweigh the inconvenience of having to wait at the dump station on the way out. I could be totally wrong though...only way to find out is to try. :)
On an unrelated note, I found a video review of the tuckahoe campground that someone posted on youtube. It was great to be able to see the campground via the video before we decide to go, and it totally looks like my kind of place! Plus now I know which sites are higher and which ones are closer to the water spigots. Awesome!
