You've got that right !!!!! It's a different situation when you live full time "in the camping area"... We sit at home on holiday weekends and watch the "downstaters" as they rush to buy firewood, beer and all the watermelons in WalMart.... Then, on Sunday afternoon (today for this holiday) they all pack up and start heading back home. Tomorrow the campgrounds will be empty, the lakes will be smooth without jetski and ski boat wakes and we won't hear another "4 wheeler behind the house" until the weekend.....
We enjoy Monday through Friday more and more every year we're up here 
And to think: We have reservations for Groveland Oaks in August... Yeah, I know, but it's for a family reunion, otherwise we'd stay "up north".....

For many years, our annual "shakedown" camp was at Jay Cooke State Park in Carlton, MN - 5.1 miles from our house. We hadn't been there for a few years, so we took the opportunity to go there again with our new Hideout over Mother's Day weekend!

KOA that's 25 miles away and another private RV resort about 35. We do these in the fall when my daughter has soccer games. Easy to get into town for a game and head back.

The dealership where we bought the RV. They had hookups available so we stayed overnight to give it a good shakedown before we drove off the lot. Since our dealer is about a two hour drive from home, we wanted to make sure everything was operational

Wouldn't feel right staying too close to home. Closest for us would have probably been Cocoa Beach (Manatee Hammock), which is about 40 minutes away.

Belle Starr C.O.E. on Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma, 1 mile away. Best lake campground in the state so why go any further for lake stuff?

Paul B Johnson State Park is 55 miles from our house. We go 3 or 4 times a year just to sit by the lake and rest, always a good time.

When my parents purchased their motor home about 2 years ago, they went to one of the two Indian casinos (the only one at the time with an RV park (KOA)) in our hometown to spend a couple nights learning the ropes. Depending on which of the two back roads we take, it's either 4.5 miles or just over 6 miles away.
The other casino has about 75% completed their new RV park. I can see the back of the hotel from my property, and from my driveway to their entrance is 9/10 of a mile... I know it doesn't count because I haven't stayed there... yet.

Front yard. The first night we brought it home. Was April 13th. On the 19th we had some snow. Had a rental here a few years back so I replace the pedistal to a dual 30 and have the septic system already. And cable.
