Short but Sweet

That describes our visit with Judd and Greta DeYoung. We met this charming couple, who we now consider friends, in Texas at Rockport 35 RV Park. Interestingly, Judd and Greta are actually from Michigan. They stopped in Bay City while making their way home from their summer travels, and we are so pleased they were able to spend some time with us. Their visit taught us something about our local area too.

Did you ever have someone come to your town and show you or tell you about something really nice right under your nose? Something you were aware of but never explored until they came to town? For instance, we were always aware of a little campground in Essexville, seven miles NE of us, where we launch the boat occasionally but have never investigated it or its facilities. Judd and Greta did. What a nice little park! Full hook-ups, concrete pads, wide sites, modern bathhouse, nature trails, picnic pavilion, playground, boat launch with direct access to the Saginaw Bay, and all for just $17/night.  Now we know about this gem of a campground right in our own backyard thanks to Judd and Greta.

Here's the address in case anyone might be interested when traveling in our area. Finn Road Campground, 2300 Finn Rd, Essexville, MI 48732-9792. Phone (989)894-0055. Website: www.finnroadpark.com.
Email: finnroadpark@gmail.com.

Thanks Judd and Greta for the visit and the scoop on the campground. Be safe as you continue your travels and we'll see you later this year.

Dianne and Rick
