We left Turkey Swamp with little planning for our next stop. Yesterday, we decided to change course and head on over to Tom and Julie’s at Altmar, NY. We were relatively close and in need of a long rest stop anyway. Our original plan had us continuing up the coast through New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. But, since we had to head west a little to avoid New York City, we decided to go to Altmar. Now I’ll have to plan a whole new northeast leg of our trip.
Finding a campground wasn’t as easy as it had been. We decided to stay at a Passport America campground because others in the area were quite expensive. But, when we arrived, the office was closed and the gate was, too. There was no easy way offered to register, so we just kept going. I found Valley View Farm and Campground a ways off so we headed there. The only problem was it was way off in the middle of rural whatever and I had to depend on Gypsy (GPS) to guide us there. She did, but it was the long way around, I’m sure.
We finally reached the campground just about dark. What we found was a nice little park, but nary a level spot in the place. We drove around and tried several spots, but no luck. Finally, the lady that ran the place showed up and told us we could park in the parking area for one of the occupied sites. No one was in that camper and she didn’t expect them until the weekend. It still wasn’t level, but at least we didn’t roll out of bed.
The campground was not much more than a cow pasture.
