Three more rv parks explored today: Seal Bay, Maple Pool, and Bates Beach.
Realized that Seal Bay is the park where I stayed briefly last year while en route to Jesse's house in Cumberland. I'd just come from Alaska and was leaving my rig with Jesse while I flew back to Ottawa for four months (well, it was supposed to be two months, but then there was Robert's retirement). Since I was on the island a day earlier than planned, I stayed at an rv park for two nights, then went on to Jesse's house. [Interesting sidebar: when I returned to my rv in January, I had two mice - the only time in 6 years that I've found mice in my rv - and the only time my rope lights have not been laid out around the perimetre. I guess those lights work!] Anyway, Seal Bay was it! Too far from anything to be practical for me, though. Nice park, but no clubhouse that I could see. Maple Pool sounds so appealing, doesn't it? If you looked up "trailer trash" in the dictionary, this rv park would be listed. Old, dirty, badly maintained rvs - furniture, boxes, random articles on the lawns - smells like mould. I drove all around it, but didn't stop long enough to take photos . . . on to the next! Bates Beach was right on the ocean, very, very small - not really much to recommend it, other than the staggering view - wow! Also no easy access to groceries, etc.
Maybe I'll go to Nanaimo!
