Many of the sites in this campground are waterfront. In fact, the lake level is high now so some of the sites are actually in the water! I think retaining walls are going to be built but at the moment 1/3 of the campsites are closed and unavailable. All of the sites have electric hookups and a dump station is located on the east side of Route 187, across from the campground entrance.
This is a pretty campground with great views. Unfortunately none of the sites are accessible. The parking pads are very narrow and the tables can not be accessed. Most of the sites have shelters over the tables which are set on small concrete pads. The shelter posts block any pathway to the table. Several sites, like the one we had, have picnic tables set in large graveled areas. If this was an attempt to make accessible sites, it is a total failure. I could not get out because of the narrow parking pad and if I had it would have been difficult to get past the parking block, over the wood gravel retainer, and across the gravel. It’s a shame because a little concrete could solve all of the problems.

Karen, you're a truly great artist with a camera. Such wonderful pictures. Keep up the good effort. Tell Tony I said hello. Hope to see you at RTR.
ReplyDeleteThank you David! I saw you on Bob's YouTube site. Hannah's looking really good!
DeleteWe will be at the RTR. I'm hoping we can find all of our friends. It's grown so much in just a few years! See you there!
I am still amazed at how the State and Federal Govt seems to ignore the ADA requirements that they MAKE private companies have. Many Rest Areas don't have ADA parking in the truck/rv areas...at Grant's Grove, only ONE ADA site out of some 120 camping sites...that is less than 1%. Oh, the list goes on and on and on....
ReplyDeleteYes, it doesn't seem right at all! I looked up the rules for campgrounds one time and I found they don't have to do anything unless there is major updating job.
DeleteThe conditions at the COE parks in this part of the country are particularly aggravating because we know how good the COE ADA campsites can be - the ones in the southeast are excellent.
Looks like a pretty place to park, but not if you need an accessible site! Or want one not underwater!!
ReplyDeleteI would recommend it but call before going to see if the water is high. As we've continue east we've seen three more flooded campgrounds.
