Meadowcrest Campground

 We have arrived in Marshfield VT and are in our site and the satellite is working!

The trip here was one of the stressful ones.  Once again, the GPS put us on two lanes roads for half the trip and even routed us through the Groton State Forest with elevation  from 1700 feet – 2058 feet. with lots of curves.

 
We did see a few leaves that were starting to  turn while we where in the forest

Then Tom the GPS, had us turn right when we got out of the forest, instead of left.  We had to go about 20 miles before we were able to turn around due to two lane highways. And then Big Bob did it when the payment widen and he was able to make the swing.

We had to scramble to find a campground.  I called Onion River Campground where we had reservations on Tuesday, like I always do, to check on road conditions etc.  I got a  call back on

Wednesday (we were leaving the next day) and she told me there was a bridge that the town had just posted with a 24,000 lb limit but they have had larger rigs than us there with no problem.  After we discussed it, we decided we were not taking a chance - that would not be a good ending if we went down.  These are pictures I took after we were set up in our replacement campground of  the bridge.

The Bridge - No thanks!

So after many phone calls, We found Meadowcrest Campground, which is very nice. It is owner-operated with the owners living on property - always a plus!. .

 

It is the smallest campground we have ever stayed in, less than 20 sites but we really like it.  There are three seasonals here now plus us.



As small as it is, they still have plenty of amenities and the most important to me - free internet!  And the other thing is enough foliage between sites so when we are eating at the picnic table, one of us is not looking at our neighbors sewer hook-up, which I really appreciate.

And from behind it

Heath, one of the owners, told me they purchased this campground because there was plenty of room to expand, but the state of Vermont has made that difficult with all the regulations.  We like it just as it is!

We did several tours, and the best news - all free and really neat!  Hope you enjoy reading about them
