BRD Spring 2019 Rally

This is a really nice campground with large, level sites, and some trees.  The parking pads are gravel, with nice grass between, and a concrete patio & picnic table.  We had enough room for all 7 xpens, but the campground rules state that you can only have a 10' x 10' fence area.

We could not get any satellites on the rooftop, and it took a lot of work to finally find a place for the portable to receive all 3.  They also have cable.

Our site, as well as most sites in the campground, flooded when it rained.  Most of our yard area was a lake.

Site #196
$46.50/night ($38.50 rally rate)
Length of stay - 1 week
Satellite - None on rooftop, All 3 on portable, with a lot of work.
Cable
Water pressure - 60 lbs

This is a very family oriented park.  A lot of kids.  Our site was directly across from the baseball field.  The sites are very close together.  Our site actually had quite a bit of grassy area on the awning side, and we could have put at least 5 pens out, but since we were here just overnight, we only put out 2 pens.  The parking pad is level blacktop, with good grass on either side.

This is not a site we would want to spend more than a day or 2 in, but good for overnight.  We stayed at this park once before, but apparently it was before I started the blog.

Site #16
$25/night
Length of stay - 1 night
Water & Electric only
OTA - 30 channels, but not all watchable
Satellite - Could not get any satellites with the rooftop.  Did not put out portable.

Carroll's Sausage & Country Store - Ashburn, Georgia

Campground ***

This campground is operated by, and is next to, the country store, and is just a big grass lot with 20 RV sites.  No trees of landscape.  The parking pads are gravel pull-thrus, that are fairly close together.  We only put out 2 pens, but could have put out 4 or 5.  There was only one other site occupied when we arrived, although a 5th wheel pulled in right next to us later.

When we arrived, they told us to just pick a site.  They did not ask for our name, or any other information.  They gave us a $10 coupon good toward a purchase in their store.

The first site we tried, we could not get level.  The 2nd site, the electric tested ok at fist, but while we were setting up, the surge protector indicated low voltage.  So, we moved to a 3rd site that turned out to be fine.  It is right off of I-75, so there was a lot of road noise during the night.

Site #3
$30/night (and $10 coupon for store purchase)
Length of stay - 1 night
OTA 8 channels
Satellite - All 3
Water pressure - Didn't hook up.

Campground **

Stayed here for an overnight.  They have added 30 new sites since our last stay, so we thought the new sites would probably be better than the original ones.  The site we were in was very unlevel.  We had to put blocks under the jack and tires to get level.  Mike checked several surrounding sites with the 4' level and they were all the same.  Another camper started out on the row behind us and could not get level there, so they moved to the site next to us.  They had to use blocks also.  May not ever stay here again.

Site #36

$45/night (and a $10 coupon for in-store purchase)
