September 24, 2020 at 3:55 amLooking for a six month lease until March 2021. We have a 32 foot 2014 Forest River (Wolf Pack TH). Do you offer six month stays? What are your rates for said stay? Thank you for your assistance.
September 24, 2020 at 8:23 pmWe only have daily rates and stays are restricted to 2 weeks unless you have extenuating circumstances.
October 3, 2020 at 7:09 pmI see you don’t have a dump station. Do you know if there is a “honey wagon” service in the area? Do you have a bath house?
October 4, 2020 at 10:44 amThere is a dump station about 10 minutes away in Hawthorne at the Love Truck Stop. We do have a public restroom and a shower but, both have been closed since March due to the COVID Plague, so no, you have to be self-contained. We do however offer water, electricity, and wi-fi.

October 11, 2020 at 1:26 pmMay we still bring our own canoe for a day on the water?
October 11, 2020 at 7:12 pmWe’re actually closed except for self-contained RV over-night parking. Earl Powers Park, just down the street, is open for your vessel launch needs.
October 12, 2020 at 4:17 pmLooking to bring our RV this weekend, 31″ travel trailer. Do you have availability? Your phone number is not working. Dates are Friday, October 16, checking out Monday, October 19th.
October 12, 2020 at 7:43 pmSure we do but call 352 372 1026 for reservations Thanks
October 14, 2020 at 1:11 amIn your opinion, is Prairie Creek currently passable by canoe/kayak from Newnan’s Lake to Hwy 234? Thanks for your help.
October 14, 2020 at 11:01 amIt depends on how motivated you are. Sure, if you are determined you will succeed, but it is not for the faint of heart. It is one of many State of Florida named Canoe Trail and should be kept clear and a group of volunteers does clear it occasionally, but that hasn’t happened since Hurricane Irma came through here.
October 21, 2020 at 9:11 pmDo you rent out kayaks? If so, should we have a reservation?
October 26, 2020 at 9:54 amNot yet, We’re waiting on the COVID to diminish its grip.
