The first thing we
noticed were rampaging seniors apparently intent on capturing and hoarding
picnic tables. We quickly secured our table from the mob. We suspect its demise
is planned when we leave. They have erected shade canopies over two long rows
of table and one row is conspicuously short a table - yet is covered by shade. We're at our first "RV Resort." We
had planned to stay at Castle Crags State Park, but noted the 21 ft maximum trailer length. Samantha, the
GPS, found us the Dance Country RV Resort. We pulled in and quickly decided we'd stay one
night, instead of two. We also noted a
distinct lack of children - a serious defect in Stacia's estimation.
The park is lush
green, nestled amongst fir trees in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. Laundry is $1.50
a wash and $1.00 per 10 min of drying time. A creek meanders through the
impeccably kept grounds. It's quiet - quiet hours run from 8:00 p.m. - 9:00
a.m. - the longest we've seen. They gave
a 10% military discount, have showers
and intermittent wifi.
A row of darling
cabins grace the rear of the property and a field of tents rest apart from the
RVs.
What's not to
like?
It's very crowded.
The rates are the highest we've paid so far.
Seriously, this would be a great park if they'd take 30-50% of the sites away.
Tent Site - $28
per night
Water &
electric - back in - $37 per night
Full-hookup - back
in 30 amp $40 per night
Full hook up -
back in 50 amp- $44 per night
Pull through
full-hookups with 50 amp - $44 per night
There is a $2 kid
tax added per child - which they didn't charge us. We did receive a 10%
military discount bringing our rate to $39 a night.
It was a lovely
spot to spend a night. It would be a
good base camp to explore the area. Visit their website here.
Fun Fact: Michael
noted the wifi was screaming when we arrived. At 8 p.m. everyone went inside
(group think is strong) and the wifi died. Moral of the story - keep the
octogenarians outside talking.
Stacia wonders why
they call it, Dance Country RV Park, "It's mostly old people who aren't
going to be dancing, anyway."
