Day 18 - Our Home for Two Weeks

We left our home for the last two weeks.  When we checked in, I was bummed about the fact that visitors were charged $10 per person to be in the campground.  I still don't like the charge but we managed to have John and family here two different days.  The kids loved being able to swim and use all the facility activities.   One of the things they did not do was drive these carts.  On weekends the campground filled up with families and  these carts were popular.

We were in site 21 and if we come again, we will request that spot.  Except weekends, we didn't have neighbors.  A KOA cabin was on the north and three luxury spots with hot tubs were on the south.  Those spots were only filled on the weekends.  The camp was clean, showers nice, staff pleasant, and recreation facilities wonderful.

You can see the KOA cabin on the north.

The patio/hot tub site is on the south.

This shows how the camper looked at the corner of the camp.  Mountains are in the background.

You can see all kinds of RVs as you camp but this one was a first for us.  This guy had an extended bed on a semi tractor.  He connects his fifth wheel on the end of the extension. This leaves enough room between the fifth wheel and back of the tractor for him to carry a smart car.  He carries ramps and winches the car up and down the ramps.

We left the KOA at 7:30 and arrived at the Double Nickel Campground near Waco, Nebraska at 4:30.  We had never camped here before but wanted to give it a try because it is near the halfway point of miles between Decatur and Fort Collins.  We are so glad to find this place.  It is an old campground but the new owners are trying to make positive changes.  One change is to make all sites pull through which makes the sites very long.  They have also built and put swings around the camp and we were lucky to have on on our site.    It is near I-80 and you can definitely hear the truck traffic but we are used to that from other campgrounds.  The campground adjoins a golf coarse so the view of the meadows and greens is very nice.  Tonight there is a cool breeze blowing.  We don't have the air on and think at least one blanket will be necessary.
