Most of the campsite are seasonal RV campers. I have never seen a tent. This time few were there when I was there. It is quiet at night.
Most people have bathrooms in their RV campers, so I have never seen the bathroom crowded. Nice shower. Well lighted. Easy for getting ready in the morning.
I used to put up curtains in the van, And then tape up the back window, but I don't bother these days. I brought eye shades but never used them.
It rained overnight, but I was dry. There were no mosquitoes in the van. Nice.
I liked waking up and looking out the glass at the waving trees and I love listening to the geese honking in the background and a dove or two.
I got up at six on Sunday and walked to the water. I had forgotten my fishing pole, so of course I saw a huge bass jump completely out of the water just a short way in front of me.
There are pontoon boats everywhere now. I don't remember that being the case before.
I saw an interesting dock which was simply a pontoon boat with nothing on the top. Looked pretty stable.
But there is one spot I could still fish had I remembered my tackle.
It was probably good for me not to fish this time because I went back to sleep for a couple more hours.
On Sunday mornings Mary's Diner is just a half mile or less away. Easy.
There are nearby state campgrounds with places to eat if I want to pack a lunch as well as some places right off the roads, but I love Mary's Diner.
My GPS winds me around country roads, so the ride in includes farms with animals, old barns, plenty of forests and fields and sometimes horses.
Some friends mentioned that Turning Stone has a camp ground just down from the casino, but they do no accommodate the frugal likes of me sleeping in my van. Their loss.
I also could try just sleeping in a marking lot, but I find that the night time cleaning wakes me at odd hours.
The Landing Campground is always quiet at night.
