Just
an opinion of the two RV Gypsies about 3 restaurants |
July
9, 2010 - Today the two RV Gypsies ate at El Mazatlan
Mexican Restaurant & Grill in Cave City, KY because a native
in the area recommended it. In the opinion of the two RV Gypsies, the sauce
that came with the chips tasted like plain, ordinary tomato sauce. Even
adding their hot sauce to it did not give it any kick. The dinners did not
give the two RV Gypsies any reason to want to return to this restaurant.
They also have a restaurant in Glasgow, Bowling Green and Munfordville. |
July
26, 2010 - Today the two RV Gypsies ate at the Panel
Room, 61116 CR 687, Hartford, Michigan. Let's just say that
they were not very happy with the food. |
July
29, 2010 - Today the two RV Gypsies ate at Bartlett's
Gourmet Grill & Tavern, 131 E. Dunes Highway, Rt
12, Beverly Shores, Indiana. It was the most unique menu they have ever
seen. First, it was a round menu, which is different but not really that
important. What is important is that although everything on the menu was
regular food, the ingredients/preparation of each item was done their own
special way. The two RV Gypsies definitely overate at this restaurant because
they just wanted to try several different appetizers and meals that was
offered. In their opinion, everything was excellent and they would love
to return to this restaurant. Although, the main dining room had a lot of
patrons and was very noisy; the patio area was quite delightful and peaceful. |
August
5, 2011 - The two RV Gypsies drove their RV to Wawaloam Campground
in West Kingston, Rhode Island. The two RV Gypsies were not aware
that there is a 3 p.m check-in time (which is later then most others the
two RV Gypsies have stayed at) and so they arrived early and were charged
$5.00 for each hour they arrived before the 3 p.m. check-in time. Even though
they had a reservation, they were put in the very back of the park in a
grass area with only electricity. It must be an overflow area. At the cost
of $42 a night, plus the $10 penalty charge, the two RV Gypsies really wanted
more than electricity in an out-of-the way spot at the very back of the
park. The park had really narrow roads. Cars had to back up or pull into
someone's space if they met an RV coming in. The speed bumps were really
close together and really big. The campground has a big pool and a separate
waterslide, but the waterslide costs extra. Although this is a campground
that has been in business for 42 years, the two RV Gypsies will not return.
However, it did seem to cater to families with children. |

August
1, 2011 - The Villages at Turning Stone in Verona, NY is
a really nice campground. Each parking area of each campsite is paved and
each site has nice green grass; there is a covered trash can at each site;
and sites are a good distance apart from each other. There is a hiking trail,
a good sized swimming pool and hot tub. The entire campground is neat and
clean. No gate security though. |

June
20, 2011- The two RV Gypsies stopped at Adelaide Shores
RV Resort in Avon Park, Florida for a one night stop. 98 degrees
outside. Place is pretty empty of RV's and people. Swimming POOL is drained.
Everything is closed in this park. Internet and cable is extra charge. Good
thing we don't need them. The two RV Gypsies will NOT return here again.
Nothing in the area to do. Glad it is a one night stop. |

| The two RV Gypsies have 3 comments to make about Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park Camp Resorts - 5300 Old Porter Road, Portage, Indiana: a. The campground had $10 in additional (hidden fees) added to the cost of staying there.
c. Also, the informational brochure the campground gave out said there was an Adult Only Game Room - but that was closed. The campground diagram showed a hot tub that did not exist. But it DID have an adult only swimming pool, which is a nice feature, a big book exchange area, a family beach area and a smaller adult only beach area, and other nice features. But the two RV Gypsies will never return there due to the noise level which really made sleeping difficult. |
|
Also, when the campground assigns you a spot they ask if you have pets. If we say no, then why do they park us next to someone who has dogs that bark or yap and wake us up early morning???? I like dogs, but I don't like their barking to wake me in the mornings - after all, I am retired. |
|
| Although many campgrounds offer WI-FI, many charge extra for it and then it is usually password protected which is a nice feature. Many times the campgrounds with the free WI-FI has internet access that is not passworded and therefore a bit risky. When a campground quotes you a price, ask if there are any additional (hidden) fees! | |
