Great comment and so very true. I love this lifestyle for situations just like that. Not sure I will ever be able to go back into a house. I will be a long time anyway. lol. Thanks for watching and the great comment.
Its is now 2024 - The years have passed and improvements where made. The trash containers are extra large and moved to main parking. Internet is what it is, your in the mountains, we have Verizon and had good signal. Everything is reopened, Government Rukes have been lifted. While your video may have been informative, it was unfair due to COVID rules. The only thing I agree on is site maintenance. They need to cut back the ground brush and trim overhead branches to prevent scraping RVs.
This place was a mess. The bathroom was nice. That problem with the garbage is like that at many parks. When I saw the pool I wanted to quote the famous movie and say, "Or the pond. The pond would be good for you." 😂 We love that you show the good, the bad, and the ugly. I will leave that right there. Great work, as usual, brother. ❤️👍👏 Donovan & Jodi
Man it sure was. Wow I hate to hear that about the garbage. We have seen it somewhat bad but never that bad. Not good for anyone. LOL on the pond. I would rather swim in a pond. I could not catch it well on video but the pool was pretty bad. I try my best to keep it real. Most of the time I am the ugly in the video. lol. Thanks for watching brother. Hope you and Jodi are doing well.
I agree. I don't think it would take much just get a few more cans or have them emptied more, cut the grass, and just a little cleaning and it would be good to go. Thank you for watching.
Wow! We thought you were kidding with the title, but, not! It is a shame how so many nice properties go bad. Another great review video thanks for posting! ~ Paul & Magen
Hey thanks for stopping by y'all. Yeah I am not much for the click bait. lol. It really is a shame. The area was amazing. I just hope they get to the park up to a better standard. Thanks for all the support and it was great speaking with y'all a on the live steam.
Great review William, you tell it like it is. Let’s see if TT steps up and addresses these issues. But sound like mowing more often and emptying the dumpsters more often would really help at this park. Larry
Well hello my long lost friends. Man I miss you guys. I hope TT does step up but at many of these parks I have my doubts. This park is in such a pretty location and the Poconos have so much to offer. I hope they can get this one right at some point. Thank y'all for watching.
Thanks for the honest review! Lets hope they get that park cleaned up. With all the RV 's being bought, we need all the parks in full service. Like the comment about miniature golf ... Get rid of them or keep'em in good shape. Thanks again Friend!!
Hey man thanks for watching and the support. I agree it would not take much to make this a very nice park. The location is amazing. Yeah it seems there is a run on RV's and houses right now. Glad I am not looking to buy an RV with the price run up. Always great to hear from you my friend. Hope them fish are biting for you up there.
Hey thank you for finding me you YT. Timothy Lake is not doing well. I hope they get it together. The location is amazing. So much to do and see. Cool that you where a DJ there. I wish they could get back to those times. Thanks for coming over. Do you do any DJing at other TT now?
Thank you for the kind words. I try my best to keep it real. The good and the bad. Yeah this park could be so nice and the location is amazing. Just needs a little TLC and they would have a gold mine. I hope they figure that out. Thank you for watching.
I think it's really awesome that you give a truly honest review! I may not ever have that place on a list for a stop, but if I was, I would so appreciate that you had done this review and let us know it's not worth the stop!! Keep up the great work!
Well thank you for the kind words. I really do try to keep them real and show proof of anything bad I do say. You would love the area but unless they get this place fixed there are many free places you could stay and enjoy the area just as much. Thank you for stopping by and watching. I always love hearing from y'all.
Yikes! Your feedback is very welcomed and your'e right - honest reviews are so important for the park too to help them improve. Thanks for sharing, hope you're next spot is better!
Hey, thank you for watching and the support. I do try to keep them as honest as I can. I hope they can improve this park. The location is amazing. Yeah our next few spots have been much better. TT is a hit and miss kinda thing sometimes. Hope y'all are well.
Hey thanks again. Yeah the kids really enjoyed being on the video. It was fun watching the get into this. We love mini golf as well. Have only been to 1 TT that it was in good enough shape to use. I agree on the poor maintenance. I hope they can clean this place up. It could be amazing.
Thanks for watching and all the support you give me brother. Means a lot. I try my best to keep it real both good and bad. The kids where really cool. Loved being able to add them in. Wanted something positive in the video for sure. Hope you are and you sister are doing well. Tell her I said happy birthday.
Sheesh! We’re definitely not impressed with a lot of their parka these days. They’re becoming the next KOA where you go from park to park and NEVER know what you’re going to get. 🤦♀️ Nice review though, thanks for showing us around. It looks like we will not be stopping by anytime soon.
Hey thanks for watching. Yeah they are becoming more hit and miss. KOA is very pricey and can be hit and miss as well as I have heard. LOL glad I could help you skip this place. The location is amazing. I will say that. There is a ton to do and see. Just the campground sucks. lol
We’re weekend warriors and haven’t actually stayed at a TT. But never seen that much trash piled up at any state or national park. I also wouldn’t expect the grass to be overgrown. Interesting and gives something to consider with future travels. Thanks for the info 👍
Thank you for watching my friends. Yeah this was one of the worst TT we have been so since going full time. There has been other bad ones but also some really good ones. The location here was amazing but as you saw the park was awful. I just hope they can get it cleaned up and running better.
Thank y'all for watching and yes some Mr. Turtle would get this place back to par real quick. He is great and we need about 1000 more of him. Don't tell him I ever spoke good of him though. His head will blow up. lol
Hey thanks for stopping by. Yeah I try to keep it real without going to negative. Doing good campground reviews is so much easier. lol. I have talking bad about a place. The area is amazing though. If they gave this park a little TLC it would be good to go. Great to hear from y'all. I hope you are doing well.
That is the sad thing about 1000 trails. We are seeing more and more of the parks getting this way. We have been trying for a month to get into a park that is full and the last time we were there they had over 10 sites with bags on them saying out of service. If they would fix their sites that would make at least 10 more openings for campers. Thanks for the tour!!
Yeah it really is. Some the parks are really good and some are just really bad. I hope they work to turn this around. The memberships are not cheap at all. Yes the bags over the post is a very common scene. We are going to give it a few years to see what we think then if not any better may sale and start hitting more state parks. It does really save us money and when you fined the good ones they are great. I hope this gets better. Thanks for watching.
@@SmallSpaceLiving it wasn't a TT it was a private campground just outside of Chicago. New owners just took over from years of neglect. We normally do reviews on campgrounds, but we didn't feel good about it after learning it was new owners. Hopefully they fixed it up.
*I thought the thumbnail was total click bait, I kept waiting for the switch up, lol...sadly, we have heard similar stories about A LOT of TT campgrounds* 😓
Hey thanks for watching. I wish it was click bait to be honest but I really want do that for the most part. It could be a great park and is in an amazing area. They just don't take good care of it. I hope this changes but a lot times for 1000 Trails this happens. Thank you so much for your support.
Wow! Great honest review. That's crazy, the playground was open and everything else was closed. Rough Smell, I could smell it from here! 🤣🤣🤣 That's terrible, trash everywhere. Do they empty them? I always thought thousand trails had some kind of criteria to meet, obviously NOT! I can't believe the grass. That's just ridiculous. I guess the shut down affected them too, but that is just bad management. Tiger Woods could golf that course. I'm never staying there either, OH! That's right, I'm not a member. Great OUTRO! Thanks for your honest review. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you Terry. Glad you liked it. The playground was really closed but the kids just went for it. lol. They never taped it off anyway. It was just stated. They empty them about once a week and leave this mess the rest of it. TT is place to place. Some are great and others are crap. Thank you for watching buddy. I know you would never let Millbridge get this way.
Great review. Would you recommend the park for a 3 night stay late August to see the falls? Do you think it might be cleaned up by then? How is Federal Road #209 from 84 for a 45ft bus and 13ft 6" high? Any low trees? Are you doing a review of Rondout soon? Thanks a bunch and enjoying your TT Reviews.
If you are 1000 Trails member and can stay here as part of your membership then I say yes. If you are paying full price for your spot then there will be other campgrounds in the area that will be better. Hope that helps with that part. At this campground you are about 10 to 15 minutes from Bushkill Falls. I just did a video on that as well. Will you be staying during the week or weekend? If on the weekend you may be more likely to see the mess. If during the week it may be better. You want have any issues with 209. There are a few pot holes maybe but overall it is a great road. We traveled just about all of it and had no issues. We did not get to do Roundout this time but we will be going back at some point to finish up our Northeast Trip. You will love the Pocono Mountains though. I have a couple of other videos of stuff to do while there. If you are a brisket eater I would highly recommend Mad Apples. It is right off of 209. The lady who cooks/owns the place was on Gordon Ramey's Hell's Kitchen. It is amazing. Feel free to shot me an email at camperliferv@gmail.com if you have any other questions. I will be glad to answer everything I can.
Appreciate your review of the resort, William. Maybe they will see your review and make some needed changes. The overflowing dumpsters are bad and can attract animals. The grown over campsites wouldn't take much to fix them up. Thanks for sharing, William.
Thank you for watching. I hope they see my review or the many other reviews left on their website that talk about the shape the park is in. It could be so nice with a little TLC. You are correct on the dumpsters. I had not really thought about that. Thank you
Thanks for watching buddy. Yeah this could be an amazing place if they just do a little bit of work. The location is amazing, but they just need to put some TLC into it. Great to hear from you.
Yeah this is just part of it. You will find good and bad. Overall the membership is still well worth it for the cost savings. The location of this park was great so that helped make up for it. I do hope like you though that they step it up at some of these places. Thanks for watching.
I don't know about the campground but during your intro, while standing beside that big ole shiny Class-A, I thought I was gonna need my sunglasses 😎 Sorry you weren't happy with the camground. Not that I blame you. I can understand limited services due to Covid-19 😷 mandates but there's no excuse, for poor grounds maintenance and overflowing dumpsters. Happy trails to you and the Mrs.
LOL, thank you for the kind words on the intro. We do love our rig for sure. Many of these TT are hit and miss. The area there is amazing. So that made up for a lot of it. We loved the area. Yeah this park like so many of theirs just needs some TLC and it will be good to go. I hope they make it better. It is a great location. Thank you so much for all your support on my channel and your friendship as well. Y'all have been so good to me. I really appreciate it.
@@SmallSpaceLiving William, I checked the web sight for this camground. Most of the reviews state the same problems with some reviews dating back to the first week in May, when they opened. We appreciate your comments and opinion, as we find them straight forward and honest. 👍 Thank you for taking the time.
@@rvvacation1862 Wow so I am glad to see that others are seeing what I saw and maybe they will do something about it as more people complain. Thank y'all.
Wow, that was pretty sad. I watch a lot of videos of abandoned parks and malls, and this place had that kind of feeling. Thanks for helping us to know where to stay away from.
It really is. Would not take a lot to get it back in good shape but the issue is are they willing to do the work and spend the money. Thanks for watching and the support.
LOL, thanks for watching. You crack me up. We are so close to our solar setup and we will be doing more non campgrounds as well. I do love state parks though so I will probably always do them. I like to keep it honest and hope they can clean the place up. Hope y'all are doing well.
Hey Diana, thank you for the comment. No I have not heard that as of yet but is interesting and makes some since. We are seeing less and less staff at these places. Plus most of the parks still have many amenities closed off. They really do need to hire more and get the parks back in shape. We are leaving a bad one today and the video is coming out Saturday. Many of the parks are just falling apart. I will see if I can get any information about this. Thanks for the heads up.
Yeah it happens in some of these TT parks. I hope they get them fixed up. It could be a really great park with a little TLC. Thanks for watching y'all.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I agree. This park just needs some TLC and it would be good to go. Sad they are not taking care of it. Thank you
Hey if you think that is bad check out Timothy Lake North. OMG it was my first time staying at a TT site. Big mistake. I did drive down to look at Timothly Lake South and it was glamorous when compared to north. I got a year free for one zone and I can tell you I won't be renewing my membership. The Gettysburg one though was beautiful but too far away from GNP :(
Yeah I showed a bunch of North in here. You are correct it was worse. It is almost like they have forgotten it is up there. We got a big membership. Being full time it has saved us a lot of money, but many of the parks are not that great. The Gettysburg one is one of the if not the best park we have been to. Most of the TT parks are kinda in the middle of no where it seems. Thank you for confirming my review and the great comment. I hope they clean the park up.
Thank you for stopping by. Yeah a little TLC would go a long way for this park. It is in a great location for sure. I hope TT steps it up at some of these parks.
Yes there is. The hardest thing we found when there was finding an electrial box that worked. I would for sure recommend using a surge protector. Was not my favorite park but the area is amazing. So much to do and see. I highly recommend Bushkill Falls while there as well. They where trying to start fixing the park up during our stay. So I hope it's much better now if they really continued work. Thanks for the comment.
Yeah, it looks pretty neglected. That's too bad. And the garbage was out of control, but maybe not as bad as that rest stop in Maine that Grassroots Living showed...you'd be hightailing back to this Thousand Trails, lol. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey
Hello Debbie, thanks for watching. Yeah it is sad to see how they let it go. The garbage was one of the worst parts. It should never get like that. I will have to check out that rest stop. I have not seen that one. These TT parks are hit and miss. Some are pretty good and others can be really bad. For us as full time still worth the cost, but wish they would step up. Talk to y'all later.
I know you always give an honest review. It is too bad they don't take care of the place and the bad intrnet I woud hate. Good thing I don't really stay in RV parks. I know one I definitely wouldn't pay to stay at.
Thank you for your trust in me. That means much more than the video. It really is to bad. This could be such a great place and the location is amazing. I can't wait to get my stuff setup and not have to be in as much either. We will still do parks but it will be much less than it is now. Thanks as always for your support and watching.
It would be nice if some corporation would buy TT out and renovate. But then I suppose the prices might go even higher? We should start a non profit for RVers perhaps?? Hmmmm Probably not...Maybe the Grille closed down due to the virus thing? Good seeing ye (more than the park..lol )
I would not disagree that new owners might be a good thing. I would be willing to pay a little more if they use the money correctly and get things fixed. I am not sure on that grille. I could not find any information about it. I think the North park which is where that is really gets left out of a lot of stuff. Great hearing from you as well my friend. Hope you have been well. Will be sure to stop by and catch up some today on your channel. Looking forward to meeting you in Mayberry.
What a shame, they could make it a great place, so much to see in the area. I bet I could set up camp in the tent section and nobody would even notice with all the tall grass . I always appreciate your honest reviews, you tell it like it is. maybe they will see this and get the message. Thanks for Sharing
I agree 100%. The location is amazing. We loved that part. They just need to get the park up to standard. Yeah you could for sure come and tent camp and just disappear. lol Thank you for your kind words. I try to keep it real. I hope they do improve this place for sure. Thanks for watching.
This was in the Pocono Mountains in northeast PA. Great location but yes they need a ton of help for sure. Thanks for watching buddy. Hope you are feeling better.
Hey y’all! I often wonder if Thousand Trails (and other companies) even have disguised corporate people who travel around and check on properties carrying their company name but don’t actually own. That was a pretty sorry RV park y’all were at imo. I lived in one in Corpus Christi, Tx back in 2005 while I was still hauling oilfield equipment during my trucking career…the park was built in the 50’s and was kept immaculate. I bet this Rv park didn’t skimp on the high price though huh? Sorry for your bad experience, but, thanks for bringing us along on your adventures! Stay safe and I’ll see you in the next video!
Hey buddy. You may be onto something there. I doubt they do. I wish they would just read reviews online or look at some of the reviews on TH-cam. Yeah we have hit some parks that are amazing, and others that are awful. I always try to keep it real in these reviews. We paid a lot for our membership to be able to stay here. Many of the TT's are hit and miss. We just keep moving and try to do a fair review on as many as possible. My favorite parks are state parks though. They are so nice. As always thanks for watching.
This absolutely breaks my heart 🥺 Vacationed here as a kid, and I'm absolutely disgusted how they let the place go. I have so many fond memories of Water World there; and even the teen cashier who gave us some silly "Jason Voorhees" like story once, of Timothy Lake lol. Scared the living daylights out of us kids😂! I really thought I'd be able to pass the experience to my kids. So saddened and disappointed.
We could see at one point it was a super nice campground and the location is amazing. I have heard they are fixing it up some so hopefully it will get back to being a great park. Sounds like you had some great times here. I would say in a few years to for sure give it a shot and relive those great days. Thank you for sharing your story.
Yeah man that is part of keeping a campground up for sure. You could teach the people something. Such a great place with so much to offer and they run it down. I hope they step it up. Thanks for the support man.
LOL. You may be on to something about the setting. It for sure needs some TLC. We stayed for 2 weeks. The area around it was so amazing it made it worth it. This was the only bad thing about the area to be honest. Everything else was off the charts good.
LOL I agree. It really does save you a lot of money in the end. You do run into this from time to time though. Some of the parks are pretty good but then ever so often you get this. I hope they clean it up. It could really be a great park. Thanks for watching. Hope you are doing well.
I think ever TT we went to had this issue. Encore or true TT both seem to have people sitting way too long. Thank you for the comments. I hope some part of your stay went well. It can be frustrating for sure.
Thank you for watching. The area is great if you are there. So much to see and do. We loved hanging out there just did not enjoy the campground as much.
Shot man you and BJ travel all over the place. I am sure you see stuff better and worse than this all the time. The worse part about this one is the fact that it could be such a great place with a little TLC. Plus the location is amazing. Been a minute since I have heard from y'all. I hope you are both doing well. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for watching. I agree on the low pay at these places. I asked at one and it is not good at all.
I agree. I feel I always want to be honest but have the video to prove what I am saying is correct. Thanks for watching buddy. Always great to hear from you.
No I do not want to visit a thousand trails that totally sucks lol that was a silly question, I want one that is just mediocre at the worst luckily the ones around me are decent except for Peace River due to Wi-Fi
LOL man thanks for watching. Yeah this place is not doing good. The stuff around this place is amazing though. The ones in FL are not to bad. Yeah Peace River has bad WIFI and I was not real happy with the staff to be honest, but after hitting many of these other parks it looks better all the time. lol. Still got a lot more parks to hit but we have hit several of them now. They are hit and miss. Still glad at this point I am a member. Saving money like crazy.
Hey thanks for watching buddy. I agree 100%. Such and nice location that is not getting taken care of as it should. I hope they get this one fixed up. Hope you and your family are doing well.
For many of the parks I am sorry to say you are spot on. For us being full time we do save money using them, but I would rather hit the state parks 10 to 1 over these. Nothing like a state park. Thanks for watching y'all.
*Wow, just tell it like it is...you just got my attention. Not a working pool after advertised, hmmm. Not on my good list. Your just calling balls and strikes.*
Hey you know me man I just keep it real. LOL if I got your attention then I did it right. Thanks for watching buddy. Yeah until they do some work this place is off our list as well. I like the "balls and strikes". Have not heard that in a bit.
Yeah we thought so to when we got there but they say this has been going on for years. We really loved the area though so hope they make the park better. There is so much history and stuff to do in the area. They did just bring in a new manager to try to clean the place up when we where there. Hoping they can get it done. Could be a great park.
@@Lauren-vd4qe Some are ok and others are awful. I have been reviewing each one and being very blunt if they are bad. We just left one that was super nice though. It really is a hit and miss thing.
We wont be going back. lol. It was a great area. To bad they do not care of this park. It could be amazing. Sad to see it like this. I have not seen any new songs put up in a bit. Are you still posting, or am I just not getting notifications? That happens sometimes. If you are let me know and I will go back and check it. Thanks man for watching.
That is what I like about a RV if I do not like the neighborhood I can turn the key and move on.

Hey thanks for stopping by. Yeah I try to keep it real without going to negative. Doing good campground reviews is so much easier. lol. I have talking bad about a place. The area is amazing though. If they gave this park a little TLC it would be good to go. Great to hear from y'all. I hope you are doing well.
That is the sad thing about 1000 trails. We are seeing more and more of the parks getting this way. We have been trying for a month to get into a park that is full and the last time we were there they had over 10 sites with bags on them saying out of service. If they would fix their sites that would make at least 10 more openings for campers. Thanks for the tour!!
Yeah it really is. Some the parks are really good and some are just really bad. I hope they work to turn this around. The memberships are not cheap at all. Yes the bags over the post is a very common scene. We are going to give it a few years to see what we think then if not any better may sale and start hitting more state parks. It does really save us money and when you fined the good ones they are great. I hope this gets better. Thanks for watching.
Nice review! We have seen a lot worst, but at least they are trying to make it better. Thanks for sharing.
Ouch sorry you have seen worse. That is not good at all. Was it a TT? Thanks for watching. I agree I hope they make it better asap.
@@SmallSpaceLiving it wasn't a TT it was a private campground just outside of Chicago. New owners just took over from years of neglect. We normally do reviews on campgrounds, but we didn't feel good about it after learning it was new owners. Hopefully they fixed it up.
@@HaleyFamily Nice of you to give them time. I like you hope they got it corrected.
Thanks for your honesty!!!
Thanks for watching dad.
*I thought the thumbnail was total click bait, I kept waiting for the switch up, lol...sadly, we have heard similar stories about A LOT of TT campgrounds* 😓
Hey thanks for watching. I wish it was click bait to be honest but I really want do that for the most part. It could be a great park and is in an amazing area. They just don't take good care of it. I hope this changes but a lot times for 1000 Trails this happens. Thank you so much for your support.
Wow! Great honest review. That's crazy, the playground was open and everything else was closed. Rough Smell, I could smell it from here! 🤣🤣🤣 That's terrible, trash everywhere. Do they empty them? I always thought thousand trails had some kind of criteria to meet, obviously NOT! I can't believe the grass. That's just ridiculous. I guess the shut down affected them too, but that is just bad management. Tiger Woods could golf that course. I'm never staying there either, OH! That's right, I'm not a member. Great OUTRO! Thanks for your honest review. Stay safe my friend.
Thank you Terry. Glad you liked it. The playground was really closed but the kids just went for it. lol. They never taped it off anyway. It was just stated. They empty them about once a week and leave this mess the rest of it. TT is place to place. Some are great and others are crap. Thank you for watching buddy. I know you would never let Millbridge get this way.
@@SmallSpaceLiving No way I'm to proud. Did you call me Terry? 🤔🤣🤣🤣
Lol
Good video hate the park was awful but was glad you came back home because we miss you when your gone we love you both very much your MOM
I was still worth it. The location was great. Now we are gone again. lol
Great review. Would you recommend the park for a 3 night stay late August to see the falls? Do you think it might be cleaned up by then? How is Federal Road #209 from 84 for a 45ft bus and 13ft 6" high? Any low trees? Are you doing a review of Rondout soon? Thanks a bunch and enjoying your TT Reviews.
If you are 1000 Trails member and can stay here as part of your membership then I say yes. If you are paying full price for your spot then there will be other campgrounds in the area that will be better. Hope that helps with that part. At this campground you are about 10 to 15 minutes from Bushkill Falls. I just did a video on that as well. Will you be staying during the week or weekend? If on the weekend you may be more likely to see the mess. If during the week it may be better. You want have any issues with 209. There are a few pot holes maybe but overall it is a great road. We traveled just about all of it and had no issues. We did not get to do Roundout this time but we will be going back at some point to finish up our Northeast Trip. You will love the Pocono Mountains though. I have a couple of other videos of stuff to do while there. If you are a brisket eater I would highly recommend Mad Apples. It is right off of 209. The lady who cooks/owns the place was on Gordon Ramey's Hell's Kitchen. It is amazing. Feel free to shot me an email at camperliferv@gmail.com if you have any other questions. I will be glad to answer everything I can.
Appreciate your review of the resort, William. Maybe they will see your review and make some needed changes. The overflowing dumpsters are bad and can attract animals. The grown over campsites wouldn't take much to fix them up. Thanks for sharing, William.
Thank you for watching. I hope they see my review or the many other reviews left on their website that talk about the shape the park is in. It could be so nice with a little TLC. You are correct on the dumpsters. I had not really thought about that. Thank you
Man that was a perfectly good looking take they threw away. Thanks for sharing your review.
Thanks for watching buddy. Yeah this could be an amazing place if they just do a little bit of work. The location is amazing, but they just need to put some TLC into it. Great to hear from you.
Man, that's too bad. I hope TT parks start improving before we really get to hit the road fulltime. Thanks for sharing!
Yeah this is just part of it. You will find good and bad. Overall the membership is still well worth it for the cost savings. The location of this park was great so that helped make up for it. I do hope like you though that they step it up at some of these places. Thanks for watching.
I don't know about the campground but during your intro, while standing beside that big ole shiny Class-A, I thought I was gonna need my sunglasses 😎
Sorry you weren't happy with the camground. Not that I blame you.
I can understand limited services due to Covid-19 😷 mandates but there's no excuse, for poor grounds maintenance and overflowing dumpsters.
Happy trails to you and the Mrs.
LOL, thank you for the kind words on the intro. We do love our rig for sure. Many of these TT are hit and miss. The area there is amazing. So that made up for a lot of it. We loved the area. Yeah this park like so many of theirs just needs some TLC and it will be good to go. I hope they make it better. It is a great location. Thank you so much for all your support on my channel and your friendship as well. Y'all have been so good to me. I really appreciate it.
@@SmallSpaceLiving William, I checked the web sight for this camground. Most of the reviews state the same problems with some reviews dating back to the first week in May, when they opened.
We appreciate your comments and opinion, as we find them straight forward and honest. 👍
Thank you for taking the time.
@@rvvacation1862 Wow so I am glad to see that others are seeing what I saw and maybe they will do something about it as more people complain. Thank y'all.
Wow, that was pretty sad. I watch a lot of videos of abandoned parks and malls, and this place had that kind of feeling. Thanks for helping us to know where to stay away from.
It really is. Would not take a lot to get it back in good shape but the issue is are they willing to do the work and spend the money. Thanks for watching and the support.
Loved the video! I subscribed!!
Thank you for stopping by and supporting the channel. I love the name so will be stopping by your place as well. I am a huge Disney fan.
@@SmallSpaceLiving Thanks so much, it means a lot to me :)
@@TheDisneyPrice For sure. Just stopped over.
very nice video info :) thanks for sharing!
Thank you for watching and your support. Hope and your family are well.
Hmm... yeah...we’ll skip that one. Lol! What am I saying?? We don’t normally use RV parks😉Good, honest review, William.
LOL, thanks for watching. You crack me up. We are so close to our solar setup and we will be doing more non campgrounds as well. I do love state parks though so I will probably always do them. I like to keep it honest and hope they can clean the place up. Hope y'all are doing well.
@@SmallSpaceLiving Excited to see you doing some boondocking, William!!
@@HoneyandMe Thanks. Yeah we have done some but nothing extended with the power. I can't wait to be able to hit it.
I have been hearing there are labor issues, not being able to get labor and possibly due to pay/hours. Have you heard anything like that?
Hey Diana, thank you for the comment. No I have not heard that as of yet but is interesting and makes some since. We are seeing less and less staff at these places. Plus most of the parks still have many amenities closed off. They really do need to hire more and get the parks back in shape. We are leaving a bad one today and the video is coming out Saturday. Many of the parks are just falling apart. I will see if I can get any information about this. Thanks for the heads up.
Man, its a bummer when a place has problems. Hopefully they can fix things up soon. ~ Diana
Yeah it happens in some of these TT parks. I hope they get them fixed up. It could be a really great park with a little TLC. Thanks for watching y'all.
Nice to see an honest review. Watch out Steve Turtle, you may be next!
Hey thanks for stopping by. A good honest review about Steve Turtle might be a good thing. lol Always great to hear from you.
LOL
😂@@HitchUpAndTow
Thanks for the good, honest review. So sad to see great potential for parks that are not maintained.
Thank you for watching and the kind words. I agree. This park just needs some TLC and it would be good to go. Sad they are not taking care of it. Thank you
Hey if you think that is bad check out Timothy Lake North. OMG it was my first time staying at a TT site. Big mistake. I did drive down to look at Timothly Lake South and it was glamorous when compared to north. I got a year free for one zone and I can tell you I won't be renewing my membership. The Gettysburg one though was beautiful but too far away from GNP :(
Yeah I showed a bunch of North in here. You are correct it was worse. It is almost like they have forgotten it is up there. We got a big membership. Being full time it has saved us a lot of money, but many of the parks are not that great. The Gettysburg one is one of the if not the best park we have been to. Most of the TT parks are kinda in the middle of no where it seems. Thank you for confirming my review and the great comment. I hope they clean the park up.
What a shame. It certainly is not receiving the care that place needs. Thanks for the review.
Thank you for stopping by. Yeah a little TLC would go a long way for this park. It is in a great location for sure. I hope TT steps it up at some of these parks.
Hmm I wonder...did they not pay the trash bill in awhile???
LOL. I tell you what it sure does look like it. Thank you for watching.
Is there 50 amp at the South campground?
Yes there is. The hardest thing we found when there was finding an electrial box that worked. I would for sure recommend using a surge protector. Was not my favorite park but the area is amazing. So much to do and see. I highly recommend Bushkill Falls while there as well. They where trying to start fixing the park up during our stay. So I hope it's much better now if they really continued work. Thanks for the comment.
Yeah, it looks pretty neglected. That's too bad. And the garbage was out of control, but maybe not as bad as that rest stop in Maine that Grassroots Living showed...you'd be hightailing back to this Thousand Trails, lol. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey
Hello Debbie, thanks for watching. Yeah it is sad to see how they let it go. The garbage was one of the worst parts. It should never get like that. I will have to check out that rest stop. I have not seen that one. These TT parks are hit and miss. Some are pretty good and others can be really bad. For us as full time still worth the cost, but wish they would step up. Talk to y'all later.
That was a great and honest review as well. New friend here.
Love❤ from Philippines. 🍀🍀🍀
See you around. 😊
Thank you for the support. Love back to the Philippines. Thanks for stopping by and I will return the support.
@@SmallSpaceLiving Thank you, dear friend.
I love your channel. 😊
@@PinoyMeetsCanada That means a lot. Thank you as well.
I know you always give an honest review. It is too bad they don't take care of the place and the bad intrnet I woud hate. Good thing I don't really stay in RV parks. I know one I definitely wouldn't pay to stay at.
Thank you for your trust in me. That means much more than the video. It really is to bad. This could be such a great place and the location is amazing. I can't wait to get my stuff setup and not have to be in as much either. We will still do parks but it will be much less than it is now. Thanks as always for your support and watching.
It would be nice if some corporation would buy TT out and renovate. But then I suppose the prices might go even higher? We should start a non profit for RVers perhaps?? Hmmmm Probably not...Maybe the Grille closed down due to the virus thing? Good seeing ye (more than the park..lol )
I would not disagree that new owners might be a good thing. I would be willing to pay a little more if they use the money correctly and get things fixed. I am not sure on that grille. I could not find any information about it. I think the North park which is where that is really gets left out of a lot of stuff. Great hearing from you as well my friend. Hope you have been well. Will be sure to stop by and catch up some today on your channel. Looking forward to meeting you in Mayberry.
What a shame, they could make it a great place, so much to see in the area. I bet I could set up camp in the tent section and nobody would even notice with all the tall grass . I always appreciate your honest reviews, you tell it like it is. maybe they will see this and get the message. Thanks for Sharing
I agree 100%. The location is amazing. We loved that part. They just need to get the park up to standard. Yeah you could for sure come and tent camp and just disappear. lol Thank you for your kind words. I try to keep it real. I hope they do improve this place for sure. Thanks for watching.
Shame they can't maintain the properties. Thanks for the review.
Thanks for watching and I agree 100%. These TT parks are just so hit and miss it seems. I hope they get it better.
What state is this they need alot of help there wow
This was in the Pocono Mountains in northeast PA. Great location but yes they need a ton of help for sure. Thanks for watching buddy. Hope you are feeling better.
@@SmallSpaceLiving we have get Rv Kid Tv help there they working camping in Pa surgey Monday Buddy be safe
@@jms60 Good luck on the surgery my friend. Thoughts will be with you and your family.
Hey y’all! I often wonder if Thousand Trails (and other companies) even have disguised corporate people who travel around and check on properties carrying their company name but don’t actually own. That was a pretty sorry RV park y’all were at imo. I lived in one in Corpus Christi, Tx back in 2005 while I was still hauling oilfield equipment during my trucking career…the park was built in the 50’s and was kept immaculate. I bet this Rv park didn’t skimp on the high price though huh? Sorry for your bad experience, but, thanks for bringing us along on your adventures! Stay safe and I’ll see you in the next video!
Hey buddy. You may be onto something there. I doubt they do. I wish they would just read reviews online or look at some of the reviews on TH-cam. Yeah we have hit some parks that are amazing, and others that are awful. I always try to keep it real in these reviews. We paid a lot for our membership to be able to stay here. Many of the TT's are hit and miss. We just keep moving and try to do a fair review on as many as possible. My favorite parks are state parks though. They are so nice. As always thanks for watching.
Camper Life > 👍 and stay safe out there!
@@TOTALLYRELAXED Thank you my friend.
This absolutely breaks my heart 🥺 Vacationed here as a kid, and I'm absolutely disgusted how they let the place go. I have so many fond memories of Water World there; and even the teen cashier who gave us some silly "Jason Voorhees" like story once, of Timothy Lake lol. Scared the living daylights out of us kids😂! I really thought I'd be able to pass the experience to my kids. So saddened and disappointed.
We could see at one point it was a super nice campground and the location is amazing. I have heard they are fixing it up some so hopefully it will get back to being a great park. Sounds like you had some great times here. I would say in a few years to for sure give it a shot and relive those great days. Thank you for sharing your story.
wow!!! mowing never stops here. what a waste of potential love the Poconos though, take care!
Yeah man that is part of keeping a campground up for sure. You could teach the people something. Such a great place with so much to offer and they run it down. I hope they step it up. Thanks for the support man.
Looks like the setting for a great horror movie? I wouldn't stay at that dump if it was free. How long did yall stay?
I gave you a thumbs up because you are awesome but I would give that place 2 thumbs down
Thank you for the kind words. I agree. I take it as they are trashing nature which I do not like at all.
LOL. You may be on to something about the setting. It for sure needs some TLC. We stayed for 2 weeks. The area around it was so amazing it made it worth it. This was the only bad thing about the area to be honest. Everything else was off the charts good.
@@SmallSpaceLiving good to hear the area around it was nice.
@@LeeLeesLens It was so amazing. So much history and pretty parks everywhere.
Those full times must be getting a good deal not to complain about all that sounds very neglected.
LOL I agree. It really does save you a lot of money in the end. You do run into this from time to time though. Some of the parks are pretty good but then ever so often you get this. I hope they clean it up. It could really be a great park. Thanks for watching. Hope you are doing well.
They need to get rid of unsightly trailers
I think ever TT we went to had this issue. Encore or true TT both seem to have people sitting way too long. Thank you for the comments. I hope some part of your stay went well. It can be frustrating for sure.
How can we contact you?
You can email me. My email is camperliferv@gmail.com. Thanks
Looks pretty good to me.
Thank you for watching. The area is great if you are there. So much to see and do. We loved hanging out there just did not enjoy the campground as much.
Typical of most businesses start out with a great idea and after a while they run out of steam and just get greedy. 🤑
You are correct for sure. They need to get back to the basics and they will make plenty of money. Thanks for watching brother.
Sorry for the Bad Experience. Usually understaffed and they don’t wanna pay
Shot man you and BJ travel all over the place. I am sure you see stuff better and worse than this all the time. The worse part about this one is the fact that it could be such a great place with a little TLC. Plus the location is amazing. Been a minute since I have heard from y'all. I hope you are both doing well. Always a pleasure to hear from you. Thank you for watching. I agree on the low pay at these places. I asked at one and it is not good at all.
Next year. April 30th 2021. First Annual SLO MOJO CRU RENDEZVOUS. AAAEEEEE
@@SlowMomentum That sounds fun and may just fit right into our location if you are having it in Louisiana.
Yes we are. Bastrop Louisiana
@@SlowMomentum Nice man. Congrats
Wow tell it like you see it is what I've always said.
I agree. I feel I always want to be honest but have the video to prove what I am saying is correct. Thanks for watching buddy. Always great to hear from you.
No I do not want to visit a thousand trails that totally sucks lol that was a silly question, I want one that is just mediocre at the worst luckily the ones around me are decent except for Peace River due to Wi-Fi
LOL man thanks for watching. Yeah this place is not doing good. The stuff around this place is amazing though. The ones in FL are not to bad. Yeah Peace River has bad WIFI and I was not real happy with the staff to be honest, but after hitting many of these other parks it looks better all the time. lol. Still got a lot more parks to hit but we have hit several of them now. They are hit and miss. Still glad at this point I am a member. Saving money like crazy.
*So Precious*
Thank you for watching.
It looks like nobody works there. Terrible. No way to run a campsite.
Hey thanks for watching buddy. I agree 100%. Such and nice location that is not getting taken care of as it should. I hope they get this one fixed up. Hope you and your family are doing well.
Never surprising when it come to thousand trails. They definitely live up to the neglected reputation.
For many of the parks I am sorry to say you are spot on. For us being full time we do save money using them, but I would rather hit the state parks 10 to 1 over these. Nothing like a state park. Thanks for watching y'all.
Well, you can't win all the time. Better luck next time, a different place.
LOL aint that the truth. These TT are for sure hit and miss. We have had better since then thankfully. Thanks for watching buddy.
Thats sad.
It really is. Thank you for stopping by and watching.
*Wow, just tell it like it is...you just got my attention. Not a working pool after advertised, hmmm. Not on my good list. Your just calling balls and strikes.*
Hey you know me man I just keep it real. LOL if I got your attention then I did it right. Thanks for watching buddy. Yeah until they do some work this place is off our list as well. I like the "balls and strikes". Have not heard that in a bit.
WIFI SUCKS
I agree with that. Just down the road at Forest Lake it rocks. Tower is right there by the park.
looks like a case of cv19 neglect
Yeah we thought so to when we got there but they say this has been going on for years. We really loved the area though so hope they make the park better. There is so much history and stuff to do in the area. They did just bring in a new manager to try to clean the place up when we where there. Hoping they can get it done. Could be a great park.
@@SmallSpaceLiving thats very telling eh! ive heard this before that the TT cgs are run down!
@@Lauren-vd4qe Some are ok and others are awful. I have been reviewing each one and being very blunt if they are bad. We just left one that was super nice though. It really is a hit and miss thing.
Wont be visiting that one
We wont be going back. lol. It was a great area. To bad they do not care of this park. It could be amazing. Sad to see it like this. I have not seen any new songs put up in a bit. Are you still posting, or am I just not getting notifications? That happens sometimes. If you are let me know and I will go back and check it. Thanks man for watching.
Potholes
Yeah I remember seeing many of them. That is almost a requirement to be part of the TT park program it seems.
It was all ugly.
Yep needs some TLC for sure. Thank you for watching love of my life.
