You will see a pattern in my choosing campgrounds. One, I love COE Parks as well as State Parks. Second I found what a treasure County and City Parks can be! Never would I have believed they would be an option but they are listed as FCFS (First Come First Serve), but also big rig friendly. They have electric, some have water and most have dump stations. They are usually all self serve and one pays with cash or check and drops of the envelope in a drop box.
So my search in RV Life / Trip Wizard guided me to Grundy County Lake. What I didn’t realize was how popular they are with locals…. Which of course I should have thought off.
We pulled in and it was full except for one large pull through. Darn we were lucky 🍀.
It was a beautiful spot and at $15 a night it was a good deal. We unloaded Rosalina and the bikes, plus Ron set up the dog fence. We realized early on that not many ‘foreigners’ come here as we were the only out of state license plate which we were told by one passerby who said we ‘won for traveling the farthest’. If they only knew 😉. We also learned why this park is so full. Locals come and drop off their campers and then go back home only to return on the weekend with their families. So many campers around us were empty while we were there.
The park had a trail that went to and around the lake. Lots of people were fishing and it had a few nice picnic spots. A nice play to find peace and quiet, unless the locals start to party because in that sense one better likes country music 😉
We enjoyed our time here and think it be a good spot to stop for a night or two when crossing the country.
