Retha's Campsite Reviews: May 2019

PFR *****
Campground ****

This is our 2nd time at this park. Original review below. This site is nice with room for 5 x-pens. The ground is fairly loose dirt, but has nice afternoon shade. The patio area is pretty secluded.

It took a while, but Mike did finally find a place where the portable satellite picked up all 3 satellites.

When we first got here, the breaker kept popping. They came and replaced the breaker and it was fine after that.

This is a nice campground, and we really liked our site. We could have put out all of our xpens, but only put out a few for just the one night. Level back-in, with the packed soil yard, right on the lake (Hartwell). But the site next to this one (35) might be a better site because it had better afternoon shade.

This is the 3rd time at this campground, and the 2nd time in this site (24). The first time was in site #50 April 13, 2017. Below is my review of this site from June 7, 2018. It has changed a lot since then. They have removed a LOT of trees, so it is not nearly as secluded, and pretty ugly because they have not removed all the stumps & roots yet. But, the trees they left still prevent the rooftop dish from picking up any of the satellites. We think they may be adding more sites. Current photos are below the original ones.

This is a nice campground. Our site was a semi-circle pull-thru with a very large, secluded parking pad and yard. We used all 7 xpens, with room to spare. The pad and yard area is packed soil. There is a public path that leads down to the swim beach, between our site and the one next to us. There are trees that block our view, so people don't even see us when we are outside. The other side is just wooded area. To the rear of us is wooded area, with a path leading from our site to the swim beach. One person came up our path and cut through our site to get to the bathhouse. Mike was putting up rope lights as a barrier when he returned and had to duck under the rope. But no one cut through after that.
