Hey Y'all,
So, we're one month into this gig.... What are our thoughts?
When we first arrived, we were given our spot and got settled in. Picnic table and fire ring were delivered by Chris & Dave (one of the owners) a few days later.
We wish there was laundry on site, especially since the nearest laundromat is kinda crappy, and takes forever to dry clothes.
The sunsets here? Beautiful!
One of the jobs Chris has done?
Another Chris job? Sanding & painting all the picnic tables.
Chris has been doing the above jobs, weed killing, leaf burning, tree trimming, wood splitting, groundskeeping, and other manual labor. I've been learning the campground layout, the check-in software & process, organizing the store, taking inventory, reading electric meters for seasonal campers, and once delivered wood!
Mulching this area, it didn't photo real well but there a hill there, and some plants/flowers.
Told ya these sunsets were stunning!
Neither job is too difficult, and we really like the owners, so that helps.
The campground is large, but the seasonal sites are responsible for their own spots. There are over 100 sites, but only 30 are available/non seasonal. The common areas, like the playgrounds, pond, beach, and grasses/sand in those areas and between seasonal sites are campground responsibilities.
They have a bathroom crew, so we don't have to clean those regularly, just pick up in-between and make sure everything is running smoothly.
There are a few things we'd like-
the aforementioned laundry
a good grocery store close by (Sorry Sav A Lot, but you are expensive, and don't carry much.)
a few more things to do nearby- In under an hour there's Kankakee Sands, Fair Oaks Farm, and several small parks, a couple libraries, several truck stops, a few restaurants, a drag strip, a flea market.... and okay maybe there is quite a bit.
Overall it's a pretty nice gig, in a fairly remote part on Northwest Indiana.
Have a great day,
Craftin' Wife
