Grayville City Park

Well, we didn't wind up at Harmonie State Park.  Instead we went on up to Hilltop Campground in Grayville, IL., not far from Harmonie.  I needed gas and was concerned about higher gas prices in Indiana.

Hilltop is part of the Grayville City Park.  We had to wind around through the town and up a hill (thus, "Hilltop") behind the baseball field.  There were 20-25 campsites on a tree covered loop.  Only 2 other campers were there, both 5th wheels, and only one appeared to be occupied, although neither had a vehicle there.  It was very isolated and a bit scary, but sure as heck was quiet.


I got the power and water connected and Pumpkin leveled just in time for the rain.  Here we go again with that uncooperative weather god.

Just before dark, a car showed up and went to one of the trailers.  I don't know if the guy was homeless and living in a camper or what, but he sure did not have a vehicle there that could pull the trailer.

No one ever came around to collect a camping fee and there was no accommodation for making a payment.  So, Hilltop was free.  Maybe it wasn't so scary after all.
