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.

Diamond Caverns RV Resort

Written by

Diamond Caverns RV Resort & Golf, Park City, Kentucky

    We pulled into Diamond Caverns just as another Mandalay was pulling out.  We chatted with them for a few minutes and they suggested taking the spot that they had just left, they said the neighbors were nice.  So we did and they were.  The campground office is outside of the campground across from the driveway and the sales office is located where you would think to park and register.  But I guess everyone is used to people being confused so it isn't a big deal.  There is also a golf course and condos associated with the campground but that's a couple of miles back toward the highway.  Once in the park we found our spot and plugged in, which tripped the 100 amp breaker feed six other 50 amp sites down the row.  Like most parks, the electrical has a lot to be desired.  We were able to get everyone back up and running and only tripped the breaker a few more times during our ten-day visit.  The park has a mixture of 30 and 50 amp sites.  Most of the pull-thru sites were 30 amp.  The facilities were a bit worse for ware.  Overall the park is nice enough, but really needs a lot of repair and upkeep.  We had the great fortune of meeting several new friends there and with that, the worn conditions of the park mattered less.

     There is very little phone service and even less Internet.  We purchased a week from the private contractor who set up some directional antennas to feed the park.  (unfortunately, none pointing toward us)  So even after paying $25 for a week, it was still iffy for streaming, but okay for email.  The Internet in the "Spa" was better and free.  What used to be a spa is now a lounge, library and weight room and they still refer to it as the spa.  The other thing about the campground is, that it's located near a gun range.  We heard shooting the whole time we were there, but on the weekend it was non-stop shooting from 7 am until dark.  

     During our stay, we did have a thunderstorm come through and strike close enough to cause a surge that caught our microwave on fire filling the coach with smoke.  It went out on its own and seems to be working just fine.  That was enough for me to install a permanently mounted surge protector.  (one of the perks of being a retired electrician)  It didn't take long to install and has a built-in time delay before its contact close allowing surges to dissipate before it closes.  However, I found the low-voltage trip feature gets lots of use in these il-wired parks.  

      While we were there, we took a tour of Diamond Cavern.  It's a wet cave, so it has a lot of geological features.  It's located right at the entrance to the RV park.  We also went to Mammoth Cave Visitor Center and learn the history of the cave and the area. We had planned to tour part of the cave, but I was dealing with vertigo and we never went, but plan to return.  A half an hour drive south of the campground is Bowling Green where we donated to Camping World and visited the Corvette Museum.  That was worth the $10 admission if you're into Corvettes and by law, being that I'm a male in my mid-fifties I have to be.  One of the most interesting things about the museum is the sinkhole that swallowed eight Corvettes a few years back.
