Joe had to add the metal step, plus we had to use a stepping stool just to get into the bus. This campground was OK for us, but it was a bit rough and un-kepted looking. It had several really, really old and junky trailers that were in the park with no one staying in them. We were not sure if they were something people stayed in once in awhile and just stored there while they were gone, or they had just been abandon. There were two permanent trailers there while we were there and Joe had remarked to one of them, who was behind us, that the owner didn't really keep the place up. Our neighbor agreed with Joe and said a 5th wheel had just come in that day and told the owner he wasn't going to stay, because the place was a junk yard. It is too bad, because the park could be a really nice park. The park was pretty much empty the week we stayed there, but the following week, it was going to be completely full. A festival was going to be going on, which brings 80,000 people to the area, from Thursday through Sunday. The MerleFest is known for it's unique mix of traditional, roots-oriented
music from the Appalachian region, including bluegrass and old-time
music, Americana, blues, country, Celtic, Cajun, cowboy, zydeco, rock
and many other styles that Doc Watson referred to as “traditional plus." There are 13 stages, with over 130 artist over the four day festival. When Joe and I picked our site, we didn't know if we were going to stay for the festival, so we took the sloping site in case we wanted to stay longer than 10 days. Another site was available, but for only 10 days. |
Nice summary of your experience... get a tent! :)
