Well, we learned a valuable lesson this week. You can not trust a website to provide an accurate visual picture of it's facilities. When looking for a place in Massachusetts we found one who had a nice website with beautiful pictures and glowing descriptions. So, we made reservations for two weeks. Tired from several weeks of busy sight seeing we were looking forward to relaxing and taking it easy. However when we arrived we discovered that there were a lot of aspects of the campground that had conveniently been left off of the attractive website. See photo for exhibit A. Most if not all of the sites there were full time residents who did NOT maintain their campers or sites. Web designers who make places like this look so appealing should really be called magicians in my opinion. Needless to say we did not stay the planned two weeks. We found a campground in New Hampshire that a friend recommended so we knew it would be clean and safe.
After our experience in Massachusetts we will be much more diligent in checking out campgrounds before we book them. For any of you out there who also like to camp here are two websites that are helpful: www.rvparkreviews.com & www.thatscamping.com We have always looked for reviews online but for some reason we let it slide this time. I guess we were in a hurry or something. Trust me we will not make this mistake again.
