Comments:
Greensboro, Maryland is 163 miles from Ashland, Virginia. We covered
it in our normal 5 hours on the road. After a short 14 mile stretch
on I-95 we took Exit 104, heading Northeast towards Annapolis pretty
much on route US-301, bypassing Annapolis, going over a couple of
long and high bridges, to US-50 East and some side roads to
Greensboro and Holiday Park Campground, 14620 Drapers Mill Pond
Road, Greensboro. It's about a 23 mile detour off US-301. Not
convenient if you are using 301 as your major South/North route as
many do, but actually on our route plan as our next stop will be
Rehoboth Beach in Delaware on the Atlantic Coast.
"Holiday Park" is a Passport America Campground. The half-price is
valid for one night only.
We arrived here Monday afternoon without a problem. Well actually
there were two. One is the 2 bridges leading into Maryland! Jack
doesn't care too much for bridges in general, and especially
doesn't care for long and high bridges. The other problem is the
access road leading into this campground. It's probably a good 1/2
mile from the main road and it is paved, but, they have several
signs saying "uneven pavement" along the way. Speed bumps will cause
some wear and tear and we do see the need for them sometimes. This
place however has several "patches", probably on their stretch of
entryway. Each patch covers the width of the road and is probably
10' long, and 2"-3" high. That's many jolts up and down, plus a
regular speed bump at either end. We guessed they want you coming in
real slowly.
The campground itself we rate as okay. A lot of trees, level, sandy
pull-thrus, no sewers at the sites, but several dump stations going
out. It's a Christian based campground offering activities most
weekends . They have a large activities center that holds 400 people
and they have Gospel groups performing several times each year. The
owners are friendly. It's located a half hour from Dover
International Speedway.
We unhitched and went out for a pizza. Greensboro is not a large town
and when we inquired we were referred to only 2 restaurant choices.
We probably would not stay here again due to the many "speed bumps" and
lack of customer care once we reached the office. We have over 50
combined years in the customer service fields and take it into serious
consideration when and wherever we are spending our money.
