One of the old chicken coops has been converted into a public building containing showers, a laundromat and a small meeting room. It sounds worse that it was. The whole campground, in fact, was quite nice. Very well maintained. It seemed to have a lot of seasonal campers, most of whom were not there that night. But, overall, we liked the park a lot &#8211; especially our HUGE pull-through. And the price (under $29) was very nice, too. We would come back here.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5344\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5344\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5344\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5344\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Our site\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700_HDR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Our site<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5346\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5346\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5346\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5346\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Playground\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171705_HDR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5346\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Playground<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5345\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5345\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5345\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5345\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Wooded seasonal sites\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171700a_HDR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Wooded seasonal sites<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_5347\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-5347\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5347\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5347\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"Lake\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ourwanderyears.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/0830171711_HDR-400x267.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-5347\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Lake<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>192 miles via I-90.
