Hueston Woods

We just purchased our first RV and this was our first outing ever. We had no idea what we were doing, but our first experience was a good one. We booked our site in January before visiting in April. They were already completely booked for full hookups, but we were able to get an electric site. We had no issues with the online booking process. I did have a couple of questions prior to coming and placed (no joke) 17 phone calls to the park in one day. Most of the time no one would pick up, and when they did, no one knew the answer to my questions. I tried again the next day, and someone answered the first time and knew the answers to everything I asked. (And she was really nice!) We arrived on a Friday afternoon, and it was POURING when we arrived. The woman in the camp office was really kind and told us how to get to our site. We had chosen it somewhat blindly, but it was the perfect spot (B025). It was pull-through and paved, and just out our front window was a little grove of trees that were beginning to bud. We weren't far from the bathrooms, though we didn't use them, and we were a little distance from the playground. The reason for our trip was that I was speaking at a conference in the lodge, so we were gone from the campground most of the time, and it also rained almost the entire weekend, so we weren't able to spend much time outside even when we were in the campground. But we were impressed that even with the rain/storms/cloud cover, we were able to pull in a great signal for our phones and internet. There was a brief window of time on Saturday evening when it did not rain, so we tried to enjoy the fire pit, but it was muddy and flooded all the way around it. We noticed most of the other sites had grass or gravel clear up to the fire rings, but ours was worn down. We still did the fire (until the rain returned) but we had to sit pretty far from it to stay out of the mud. Made it hard to roast marshmallows! That was really our only complaint about our site. Overall, we had a good first experience. The other campers were friendly and we didn't find it noisy at night. We wish we would have had better weather and more time to actually spend at the campground and exploring trails, so we would love to come back another time to try again! We might even try farther down in loop B for even more privacy and wooded scenery, especially since we don't need access to the bathrooms or playground.
