Bluebill Campground in Horsefalls Beach

We arrived here on schedule on June 15, 2012.  We booked this campground because there were no available camping at the Mill Casino where we usually stay due to upcoming FMCA rally.  There are only 18 sites in this campground.  It is well treed and all sites have tables and fire pits.  Asphalt paving thruout and I nabbed the only pull through, but all sites will accommodate a 40 footer.  No hook ups at all and no dump station; not unusual for a federal park.  Camping fees here are $20 per night, but seniors over 62 get 50% discount.  The only bad part about this site is it is located in the middle of a swamp.  Mosquito's were so thick, you would not want to spend much time outdoors.  As a result, we basically had the campground to ourselves along with the campground host most of the time.  An occasional camper spent one night here.  This would be a great park if they sprayed for mosquito's.  I rate this park F*.  Sanford and Linda were able to book a site at the Mill Casino and left early the next morning.  They planned to attend the FMCA Rally and we spent our time visiting Matt, Jamie, and Danika.
Upon arrival, we had dinner with Sanford and Linda at the Mill Casino.  A great buffet which included endless self serve seafood, prime rib, and ham.  I gorged on oysters on the half shell, fried shrimp and scallops, and broiled salmon.  I topped it off with an ice cream sundae.  All this for $18 per person for seniors over 62 and arrive before 5:30 pm. 
We visited Shore Acres State Park, a separate post while here with Matt and Danika.  We celebrated Danika's first birthday at Jamie's fathers house.  Steve and Melanie treated us to a wonderful steak and salmon dinner.  We took Buddy to the ocean for a much needed run on the beach and dunk in the water.  He met another Golden which could have been his brother and his name was Buddy also. 

I didn't spend enough time outdoors at our site to take any pictures of this campground, I will post a couple from Shore Acres.  The bottom picture is called a monkey tree.  I wonder if it will survive in my cactus garden?
