We stayed at the RV park at the Comfort Inn.  It was fine, a little close to the interstate, but no problem. The full hook up allowed us time to do laundry and shower before heading for dry camping later this week.

We arrived here on the 4th of December and we were able to take advantage of Escapee's 3 and 1. This means that we pay for three weeks and get the fourth week free. It was the last day to sign in for December, so we were pleased. We have met some friends from other parks and will visit some others that live nearby.
