When we are moving to a new job site, I try to find a RV park that is under 10 miles from the station where Dave will be working. Because of this we sometimes wind up in park that we normally wouldn't stay in.
The only way I found out anything about this RV park is through a review that someone else had written. I don't want to slam other bloggers but the review I read did not match up with reality. We probably would have stayed here if we had known what the park was really like but it is quite a shock to read a glowing review and then arrive to find it was almost all false. Rest assured that I write what I see.
Anyway, back to Fleetwood RV Park. It is what I would consider a medium sized park. It has a mobile home section in the back of the park, about 8 pull through sites in the very front of the park and in the middle is an RV section where the long term residents stay.
The park is pretty old and the pull through lots aren't very big but this time of year there aren't many people traveling through so there's plenty of room. There are some decent trees in the middle and back of the park so you do get a little shade when you walk the dogs. Most of the RVs are really old and the park is pretty rundown.
The residents all seem pretty friendly and the manager is very friendly. There are several cats running around the park that have been left or dumped by various people. The manager collected all of these cats and had them fixed so the park is not overrun by feral cats. These cats are very well taken care of. I am so impressed that the manager cared enough to get them fixed and take care of them.
The ducks you see in the picture are all over the park. There's probably a dozen adults and over 2 dozen babies running around. They are fun to watch and the babies are soooo adorable.
Word of warning, we had 2 problems while we were here. They do not take cash and only accept Mastercard or Visa. They accidentally charged my card for an extra week and I had to go through my bank to get it fixed so watch your account closely.
The second problem is extremely irritating. We have a mail forwarding service since we move so much. We arrived here on Friday and on Monday I called our mail service to have the mail sent here. Tuesday I talked to the park manager to let her know a package was coming here for us and she said she would let us know as soon as it arrived. By Thursday I hadn't heard anything from her so I started checking the office every day. Each day I was told it had not arrived. Finally, 1 full week after the package was sent I called my mail service and found the package had arrived here on Wednesday and was refused by the office. Luckily I had delivery confirmation on the package or I would have no idea what had happened. When I went to the office to find out what happened, they had no recollection of the package arriving and that it was my tough luck.
We stay at a lot of RV parks without any problems. We've been at the Fleetwood RV Park 1 1/2 weeks and have had 2 problems. At this point I would have to advise anyone against staying here. It is just not worth the aggravation.
