First trip of the season in the books!
Yay! :). First weekend camp outing (finally!)
Spent the weekend at Alum Creek Sate Park Campground just north of Columbus OH. We picked this place because it was very close to our dealership, and I was taking the camper there to be de-winterized anyway. So. We thought it would be a good place for a first outing.
I liked this campground because almost all of the sites have a vegetation strip between you and the other sites. Even this early, with not a lot of leafs out yet, the sites feel nice and private. It helped a lot that the place was probably still 2/3 empty.
What I did not realize was just how close the train tracks are to this park. They are far enough away that the sound was not horrible, but it was noticeable. This may be less as the tress leaf out more.
Thanks fellow campers for reminding me to lower my antenna... And, for not laughing too hard at me when I curbed it at the dump station... Thanks Mother Nature for only pouring rain while I was un/hitching and setting up all by myself! Thanks RV service guy for turning off the breaker for my hot water... (Guess when I discovered this!) LOL. Gotta have a sense of humor. All in all it was a great first outing, the kids had a blast, and I'm bushed!
