We are all packed up ready to leave Bull Run Regional Park and head south. Just one little problem is preventing us from pulling the 5th wheel out of the park. We have a full hook up site, but can not dump our tanks because the ding bat that made this site has the sewer drain up hill from our drain valve. They must not be aware of the fact that water does not run up hill without some help! We spent a couple of hours trying to jockey the 5th wheel so our drain valve would at least be the same height as the sewer drain, but to no avail. Just to make it more interesting, the dump station at the campground was closed for repairs. (They probably had to lower it! Ha!)
Kitty checked at the office and they said we could just pick any open site and dump our tanks. We did that, except the sites were all tilting away from the sewer drain making it impossible to drain all the fluids from our tank. By now it is late morning and we have a 200 mile travel day ahead of us. So, we dumped as much as we could and proceeded down the highway.
Our destination is North Bend Park located on the Kerr Reservoir near the town of Boydton, Virginia. You are probably wondering where Boydton is located. That's simple, it's between South Hill and Clarksville, VA.!! More percisely, it is about 20 miles west of I-85 and just a couple miles north of the Virginia and North Carolina border.
Boydton has some interesting history, but will share that later. Here's what it looks like at North Bend Park COE.
This is our view of the lake. It is just across the street, but the trees block most of our view.
We took a walk along the shore line and took these pictures.
Oh yea, the bathrooms are really cool. Each section of the campground has a very nice bath house with a residential type bathroom. We have six shower rooms that have walk in showers, plenty of changing room, several places to put your stuff, a sink, and a toilet. They are very clean and modern.
The campground is well laid out, sites are reasonably level, ours has electric and water hook ups. We like this place so much we plan to spend twelve nights here. Then, our next destination will be South Carolina.
I will have some interesting tid bits regarding the history of Boydton in the next blog.
