Sorry for the long-winded post...
I made reservations at one of KY's State Parks for this past weekend a while back. I've been there before, but it's been 15-20 years ago. I'd heard that they had made a lot of nice improvements over the years, so we decided to check it out.
We got there around 4:00, checked in, picked up our paperwork, and headed back to get set up. When we found our site, we got out to scope everything out and make a plan of attack. I looked everywhere, no electric or water to be found. I double checked our reservations and have the front office a call. The nice lady said she'd be right back to show me.
When she got there, she points to an electrical box an spigot 30' in front of our camper. When questioned about it, she said that I could just back into the area ("that's what everyone else does"), off of the blacktop into a mud pit. [emoji19]
I voiced my disappointment with this situation and she said she would look to see what else was available. [emoji15] OK, no problem. We settled on another spot and we headed for it. As I was backing in, already frustrated, I rubbed up against a tree with the front corner of the camper. Luckily, no damage other than a few rub marks. [emoji26] Now, I'm really frustrated. But I get settled in and start setting up. I'm almost ready to start folding down the bunks when the last shows up and informs me that she can't let us stay at this one, either. Seriously??? [emoji35]
That was the end of that. We decided to head on down the road. After a short discussion with the office, I did get a full refund.
By now, it's 6:30 or so. We headed a little further south on I-75 to Williamsburg at the Kentucky Splash Water Park. They've put in 17 or so full hook-up sites on the edge of their parking lot. Level, concrete patios, sewer, 20/30/50 amp electric, Wi-Fi, and cable TV for $35/night. 30 minutes to Cumberland Falls. I think we're going to try it again in the Summer and hit the water park, too.
