We have had a wet summer, especially August and they haven't be able to get out in the fields because they have been too wet. The fields are finally dry and they want to get the crops in before it starts to rain again.<br /><br />Yep, we love cool nights for sleeping!<br /><br />It would look that way wouldn't it but someone has to take the picture. ;-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-84207357323655740632016-09-04T10:27:05.989-04:002016-09-04T10:27:05.989-04:00Doesn't look like it will be warming up here i...Doesn't look like it will be warming up here in the very near future.

Many of our campers are local farmers or workers of local farmers and they are all out in the fields harvesting. Harvest is late this year because August was too wet to get out in the fields so they are out there now. Also school started on the Thursday before the long weekend so that may also have played into the low turnout.<br /><br />Yes, we are able to get more work done because of this and we have been lucky, our campers have all been good and we haven't had to deal with any rowdy ones this year. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-67254684296512394882016-09-04T10:16:33.789-04:002016-09-04T10:16:33.789-04:00Big park and a lot of work:)Big park and a lot of work:)Chuck and Anneke's RV travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01929384797592263167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-51636151846271137052016-09-04T10:12:47.424-04:002016-09-04T10:12:47.424-04:00We charge $10 at the moment for non-electric sites...We charge $10 at the moment for non-electric sites, not sure if that price will increase for next season or not but you also have to have a vehicle pass which is $10 per night as well or you could purchase a season pass for $45 and it is good for all the regional parks for that season.<br /><br />It would depend on the time of year you would be here and how big the motorhome is on whether or not you can use your generator. We have a campsite at the end of the marina that you could use your generator in but if you have a big motorhome then it wouldn't fit. Ours is 28' and Kevin said it could fit but probably nothing bigger. We have an overflow area as well but it is closer to other campers so if you were to come in the early or late part of the season then you could probably use it there as well. Otherwise no, you can't use the generator. <br /><br />If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask. :-)Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-46012647084607614682016-09-04T10:02:29.575-04:002016-09-04T10:02:29.575-04:00Thanks Dugg!

Kevin said, if they hadn't been before the end of the season than he would call just to remind them.
