Five and 3/4 years.
One campground.
The ONLY campground we've left early due to abysmal conditions.
About a week ago, we arrived at Cedar Trail RV Park in Fort Mitchell, GA. The purpose was to visit with our oldest daughter, Kristen and her boyfriend, plus see a long-time friend of mine I hadn't seen in 4 years. It was also to fill up the space between Memorial Day and our arrival in North Georgia before picking up our grandson, Jace for his summer vacation with us.
It was basically the only park outside of our usual stop in Red Bay, AL where we could find a spot over Memorial Day. And it was inexpensive, averaging $21 per night for a 9-night stay.
It's an older park with largely full-time residents, and the condition of the other RV's while older, seemed to be a bit better than the usual lots filled with junk that hadn't been moved in decades, so that wasn't too bad. But once on site, it was apparent that not a lot of effort was given towards keeping the campground and sites in good condition.
The grass was more like weeds, which was good for the bees and other flying critters, but more like ankle-high. Clearly hadn't been cut in over a month. Ants all around, both fire ants and the usual kind. Utilities were to the rear of each site, which is always a pain. The sewer connection was an extra-large pipe you basically just dropped your sewer hose into without making a secure connection. And the only amenity was a laundry room. It's really a let-down, especially given our stay two weeks ago at the resort in Baton Rouge.
They don't even have an office. You check in online, and if you have an issue, you call the number on the website.
All this to say, it is BY FAR the worst campground we've ever stayed in after five and 3/4 years of RV-ing. So even though we still have 2 nights prepaid for this stay, we're leaving tomorrow for a couple of nights in Gainesville, GA at Duckett Mill before our reservations take effect at Bolding Mill next week.
And we don't even care to try to get a refund. We just want OUT.
