Leaving my
sister’s home, we decided to take the back roads to go thru Pennsylvania. As it turned out there were several flaws in this
plan. First, we had forgotten just how bad
some of the roads in PA really are. Secondly,
we did not have a good state map and our GPS was fighting us at every turn
about our choice of route. For awhile it
felt like we were just going in concentric circles.
We passed
over the Kinzua Point dam and pulled into the information center and
overlook. It was a very nice spot, but
it looked as thou the center had been closed for some time. Took some time to enjoy the view and then continued
to our destination.
We drove
thru several towns along the way and we finally came upon our first choice for
an overnight stop in a rural area. Its resort label was quickly forgotten as we
passed rows of derelict RV’s with many tarps covering the roofs. The owner
escorted us to the best available site which was dirt/gravel and the hookups
looked to be 50 years old. We quickly made an about face and started looking
for another park.
We arrived
at Adventure Bound RV Park in time for happy hour. This was a beautifully maintained full-service
park with many seasonal rigs. They
recently had very heavy rainstorms and there was evidence of that in our
site. A camper stopped by to say that he
had this site when he first came to the park and it completely flooded during
the storm. It seems that our spot was the drain point for this section of sites.
Luckily it did not rain during our one-night stay.

Looks like you are making progress and a found a nice campsite for the night
When I used to drive from CA to NY and back every year, I tried to stay completely off the interstates and take the state routes. I mostly used my AAA maps and turned off the GPS! When I sold my RV and drove my car across, I always found the most delightful motels to stay at. They were every bit as comfortable and nice as any chain, plus the owners were super. I found this to be true all across the country. I carried a tent with me and often set it up in National and State parks.
We try to stay away from interstates too!! Sadly, it’s sometimes hard to locate a decent campground these days! Looks like you all did find a good one!! Glad it didn’t rain though!! Safe travels!!
Not good when your campsite has you wishing for a boat. Don't ask me how I know that. ;c)
True.... so many poorly kept campgrounds. We've over-nighted at a few.
