Campground Drama…and mosquito-pocalypse

We arrived at our campground only to find that they had overbooked electric hookup sites and they didn’t have one to honor our reservation. They offered us any spot we wanted in their staff campground, just outside the park, so we went that route instead of a non-electric site. We arrived at the staff “campground” only to find what appeared to be an abandoned campground with overgrown sites and a shuttered camp store. There were more mosquitoes than we had EVER seen in our lives. At one point, when connecting the water and electric, Susan had about 20 on her right calf alone! It was a mad frenzy to find a site with 30 amp power and water. The place looks like something out of a zombie apocalypse movie.

Despite a little creepy feeling, we were comfortable inside our camper, safe from the blood suckers.
