Where We Are Now

We landed this afternoon at Ely KOA Journey, pretty much right in the middle of Nevada, elevation, 6500 ft. This is just a stop-over for a night, but it really is a nice campground. We plan to drive around this after and check out the town.

Where to Next

From here we're heading north to Idaho. Our first stop is a place called Anderson Camp. We plan to spend a couple of days there so we can check out Shoshone Falls and what's left of Twin Falls

Kenisee Lake RV Campground, OH

Our Visit

     Our drive from Niagra to Kenisee Lake was an eventful one.  Our "stop engine" light and buzzer came on and it was almost an impossible find to locate an auto/RV/truck mechanic that had the equipment to analyze our trouble.  We finally did, got the issue resolved and was able to make the 173-mile drive in just a bit under eight hours.  The other thing we found is that if you're using Google Maps as your GPS coming from I-90, it will direct you to go under a ten-foot bridge just before reaching the campground.

Once we got to the campground we found that they had already chosen our site for us.  (not the norm for a Thousand Trails park)  Fortunately, it was a 50 amp site as we found that there are just a few of them. I'm guessing that the assignment was to prevent RV's without 50 amps from using the available sites.  The campground is very nice, the sites are large and all have grass lawns with full hook-ups.  There are tent sites with just water and electricity as well.  Like with most campgrounds that rent out annual sites, the better locations we filled with people who don't travel.  The campground is only open half the year.  The other half power and water are turned off, but people can keep their RV's in their sites.  We found that most of the annual sites are just used on the weekend.  The campground is very well kept up and has decent amenities.  The pool could be bigger and the shared sports court could be split up so that you didn't have to set up a net every time you wanted to play pickleball.  The small lake is fine for boating but swimming isn't allowed.  There is also a good number of folks with ATV's and they drive them from the campground to go mudding somewhere nearby.  Overall the campground is one of the better ones we have visited, the people are very friendly and the feel of the campground is welcoming to traveling RV'ers.

     While here at the campground we didn't find a whole lot of excitement in the surrounding area.  We drove to Geneva by the Lake, (the local tourist area) then followed the road east along the lake for twenty miles or so.  Unfortunately for the town, since the 70's the lake has eaten up the beaches and businesses who once had nice beaches to draw customers in no longer have them.  We drove through town around eleven on a Monday and found most stores and attractions to be closed.  We also stopped at a couple of parks along Lake Erie and had a chance to wade out into the lake.  It was surprisingly warmer than I expected.  The problem is that the geese and seagull population at the parks is so numerous that most of the grass and beach areas are minefields and not very pleasant to hang out in.

Seaport RV Resort & Campground

Written by

Seaport RV Resort & Campground, Old Mystic, Connecticut

      Not having any 'free' campgrounds in Connecticut that would fit our coach, we opted for a "Good Neighbor Park" These parks give Coast to Coast members a discount on camping fees.  Seaport gave a discount from $68 per night to $51 but required us to stay two nights.  The campground was nice with lots of grass and large camping sites.  However, it did lack septic at the campsites.  I understand that they provide a free pump out after three nights.  The facilities were nice and well maintained.  My biggest issue with the campground was that they wouldn't let us choose the site so we wound up facing the sun with no shade trees while there were plenty of nicer sites left empty.  

      While we were there we decided to drive to Gillette Castle.  It was the former home of William Gillette, now a Connecticut State Park.  Gillette was an early 20th-century playwright and actor who is most famous for his role as Sherlock Holmes.  He designed and had a castle built to live in.  From the outside it looks like an old stone European castle, however, on the inside, it was the coolest home I have ever been in.  The most impressive thing was the woodwork, especially the doors.  My description or even photos wouldn't do it justice.  It cost just six dollars to do a walkthrough.  Once inside there are park rangers to explain and tell the history of every room and of Gillette.  The castle sits on a hill overlooking the Connecticut River.  We were fortunate enough to have taken the ferry across the river, so our first view of the castle was from the water.  We would have missed it, if not for our love of taking ferries.  

      We also took some time to explore the town of Mystic.  We took photos of the Mystic Pizza parlor but didn't go in because we had already eaten lunch.  From what we were told at the park, the town has quite a maritime museum and with our gate pass, we could get 50% off admission.  We didn't have time, so we missed it.
