6/16-6/18. We spent Fathers Day 2018 in Sandy Beach Campground which is a Thousand Trails Resort. When we arrived the Guard at the Gate said I’m not sure you are going to get your unit into the site that the office allocated for you. That was the 1st “oh boy here we go”. Then he pointed out the site on the map. Sandy and I decided to walk to the site before making an attempt to drive it. Well after 6 hours of tedious driving we decided to shoe horn it in. With Sandy’s expert guidance I was able to drive it between trees, 90 degree turn down a hill with everyone in the campground taking bets that we would damage the MH before getting it into the site. Again, only with Sandy’s expert help did we prove everyone wrong and successfully shoe horn it into our site. I would describe it as squeezing a tube of tooth paste through a pin hole.
Well, that was only problem #1, once in the site I realized that it was going to be twice as hard to get out of this campground without damage.
This morning (Monday I think as since retiring everyday seems to be a Saturday :-), at least this is what my watch says) we packed up and successfully exited this campground with inches (and I mean inches between trees, fence posts, etc.... Again only with Sandy’s expert help did we make it through.
Another lesson learned. Do not assume that the front desk people know what they are talking about when they assure you they can fit in your MH!!
This will probably be the last “Thousand Trail Resort” that we ever stay in and for sure will be the last of this type of campground with tight spots, tight trees, and the looks of a 1960 resort.
