2011 Halloween Bash

2011-11-08T09:14:00.004-05:00

On Columbus Day weekend we celebrated our annual Halloween Bash! Campers enjoyed a variety of activities including, pumpkin carving, trick or treating, pot luck pig roast, candy bar bingo, and making of tie dye tee shirts! Everyone had a blast and we offered prizes for the best campsite decorations! Look for this weekend on the 2012 special events schedule and make sure to book a reservation! We had a great camping season and look forward to the bright future during the 2012 season. Thank you to all that helped out and camped this season! See you on the blog...

It's that time of year

Almost back to Normal

2011-09-17T11:34:00.005-04:00

Things are really coming together. We are almost back to normal. We still have some grass to plant and there are still plenty of projects to keep us busy for the fall but it's looking good. Currently we are in the planning stages of our Columbus Weekend Pig Roast. Will be posting the details soon.

New England Clam Bake Activities

2011-08-10T13:26:00.005-04:00

We came up with some fun stuff for the kiddies to do while camping this weekend. The weather looks to be good, the lobsters will taste better, and the camping is always awesome! Call today we still have a few great sites available! Talk to you soon!

The River Run

2011-08-07T08:18:00.009-04:00

We weren't feeling to good about the River Run Weekend. The weather wasn't supposed to be that good and the river was pretty low due to the lack of rain. We didn't think anyone would want to go Kayaking. Boy were we wrong! It ended up being a great weekend. The sun was shining and a bunch of people got on their kayaks and took a chance that they'd make it. The water was low but passable in most areas and everyone had a great time. Our friend Collen got us some fabuous pictures from his Kayak. Check out our album on our Facebook page. Jack cooked burgers and dogs at 5:00. At 7:00 the kids, who had been waiting patiently all day, got to make their own Sundae's at the Ice Cream Social.

New England Clam Bake

2011-08-01T10:08:00.003-04:00

We are enjoying a quiet weekend. The next big event on the schedule is The New England Clam Bake. The Clam Bake is on Saturday August 13th. There are limited tickets so make sure to call for reservations and buy your meal tickets early. Check out the menu and prices.
If you noticed the + tax and are asking yourself "What is this tax? This is New Hampshire!" it's the NH Meal Tax.

Poolside Luau and Pig Roast

2011-07-25T17:06:00.007-04:00

It was so busy this weekend we didn't have time to Blog! But we did manage to sneak in a few pics.

Kids and Camping

2011-07-18T10:25:00.011-04:00

There is something special about kids and camping. We just did Kids Rule weekend with all sorts of games and fun for the kids. Ice cream for breakfast, movies, games at the pool, a huge slip n' slide, a bounce house and pie eating contest. It was so much fun. We all had a good time, the staff and the campers. It was busy but, it was all worth it just to see all the happy faces and hear the excited comments from our young friends. Even with all the "big" stuff happening there was still just honest to goodness camping fun going on. We had a young lady come in and buy a bar of soap for carving, folks went out kayaking, families went fishing, and stories were being told around campfires. With any luck the kids will be telling stories about this camping trip for a good long time.

Wagon Ride Time

2011-07-15T19:03:00.007-04:00

Over the river and through the woods, it's out to the field we go. Kids of all ages love a good wagon ride.

Kids Rule

2011-07-10T09:37:00.005-04:00

Here's the schedule for the Kids Rule weekend! It's going to be a great time. For those of you who haven't made reservations yet, we still have some sites available.

Rib Fest

2011-07-02T19:02:00.008-04:00

We just got done with the Rib Fest and boy was it delicious. Jack and Ron did a great job on the grills and our friend Jim kept right up with them cutting and serving. That's what going camping is all about. Good times, good friends and good food. So what if we gain a couple of pounds in 3 days. We'll work it off later. Right now it's time for the ice cream social!

Here's a preview of our activities for the July 4th weekend.

Happy Father's Day!

2011-06-17T11:53:00.001-04:00

Happy Father's Day to all you fine Dads out there. We will be seeing some of you this weekend but if anyone needs a last minute gift, we still have a few sites available. Maybe dear old Dad would like to kayak down the Baker River. We are offering half price kayak rentals from the hot deals section of the website.
It's been a good week at Riverbrook. We have some folks here for Bike Week and the rainy beginning to the week didn't dampen their spirits. We also had the big Stanley Cup game on Wednesday night and once again Jack set up the game room, and cooked some burgers. Some of our Canadian friends joined the party so we had fans for both teams. As everyone knows, the Bruins ended up winning the Stanley Cup and we're happy to report that their were no riots in the park.

SOGGY START

2011-06-13T16:34:00.002-04:00

It wouldn't be bike week in NH without a little bit of rain. We had a soggy start to the week but if the weatherman is correct, things are going to improve. Today was already an improvement. Maybe tomorrow we'll see the sun!

The "Game Room"

2011-06-06T17:08:00.008-04:00

The weekend after Memorial is usually a quiet one, but we had a few campers this weekend and the big event was the Bruins game. After the Ice Cream social Jack set up a TV in the game room so the fans could get together to watch the game. Unfortunately they lost, but everyone still had a good time. I didn't stay for the game but I enjoyed the Banana Pudding Ice Cream! To anyone who likes Banana Pudding I highly recommend it. The Cappuccino Crunch is also quite delicious. Ask for a sample at the next ice cream social.

Memorial Weekend....Full and Fabulous!

2011-06-02T14:32:00.006-04:00

Wow! What a nice weekend. We all had a wonderful time, the campers and the crew. The weather was fantastic. We had 2 bands come in and play on Saturday, The Flames and Acoustic Blue and they were wonderful. It was our own mini music festival. The weather was perfect for swimming on Sunday and Monday. We didn't quite have the pool ready but no worries. That's the beauty of being on the river. Folks just grabbed their towels and went down to the beach. The kids kept the playground hopping and after busy days of swimming and playing it was nice to cool down at the ice cream social in our new Front Porch Ice Cream Parlor or maybe a hayride around the property. It was a nice start to the summer season and we look forward to many more great weekends here at Riverbrook.

Moose Tour Weekend

2011-05-16T21:28:00.005-04:00

This weekend is the 2nd Annual Moose bus tour. Normally, events at the campground are very weather sensitive, but not the Moose Tour. The bus is warm and dry, the Moose don't care about the weather, and you can't ask for better tour Guides. It's a very entertaining and informative ride. Seeing the Moose is only half the fun. Only $34.00 a ticket! The bus will pick up and drop off passengers at the front porch. Check them out on Facebook. http://www.facebook.com/PemiValleyMooseTours?sk=wall

Just a couple of pictures

2011-05-12T08:43:00.001-04:00

Just a couple of pictures of the store. It's looking good.

General info.........No More Gate Code

2011-05-12T08:22:00.001-04:00

For those of you have camped with us in the past, this is a big change. We have changed the system for the Resort Gate. Instead of a Gate Code, we have a Gate Card. There is a $10.00 deposit per card when you check in. Turn in the card when you leave and you get your $10.00 back. With the office now located at the dealership we can have this kind of system and we think it's going to work out well for everyone. If you got a reservation confirmation with gate code #'s, please disregard. If you have any questions, give us a call.

We're Going Green!!!

2011-05-11T15:58:00.001-04:00

There has been some excitement in the Dealership Store. Fresh green paint and a whole lot of new merchandise. Riverbrook Resort and Dealership have combined their retail space. From now on the campground office and store will be at the dealership. It's looking great, and it's so convenient. Check in to your campsite, schedule some service work, buy candy and RV parts, maybe even grab a cup of coffee... all at the same place. Now that's service.

April Blues

2011-04-05T14:50:00.002-04:00

Howdy Rattler followers! We wanted to blog today a couple of dates of interest. First, it is offically April and mother nature hit us with some more snow! Booo. Nevertheless, we continue to plug away at getting ready for what hopes to be a great camping season. Second, we have added a new sound to the 2011 front porch concert series. We are pleased to announce the first ever Blue grass band to the schedule...Acoustic Blue!!! They will be performing Memorial Day weekend! For more information on the band you are welcome to check out the website. The concert will begin around 7pm! www.acousticblueonline.com
*Reservations can be made by calling (603)786-2333 or (603)786-2501.
Space will be limited and sites are going fast!

We are really excited about the new addition. Stay tuned to our blog for any updates to the concert schedule for 2011. We are always looking to add new and different entertainment for our campers to enjoy!

Plenty of ways to cool down

2011-03-16T14:12:00.002-04:00

Some of our campers often take advantage of the pool or the Baker River on warm summer days! Other times you can find yourself on the wrong end of a DUNK TANK or sliding down an inflatable water slide. Make sure to call the campground office or check the website to see a list of activities that may be happening during your stay with us! Staying cool is important!

No repairs too large...No repairs too small

2011-03-09T09:46:00.000-05:00

We have many amenities for our campers to take advantage of while staying at the resort. I thought that I would take a couple minutes to remind existing and to inform new campers that you can always have repairs done at your campsite while staying at Riverbrook RV Resort. All you have to do is call the resort reservation office or contact the service department at the dealership and setup an appointment. We will be happy to help with any RV issue you may be experiencing. We all know what its like to get to a new destination and have something go wrong. Don't sweat it! We are always glad to help! Talk to you soon...

2011-02-23T10:45:00.000-05:00

Some of the best days of summer can be had along the banks of the Baker River. All summer long folks can take advantage of the amazing views of wildlife and landscape in the Baker River Valley. We offer the kayaks, canoes, paddles, and lifevests. All our campers have to do is enjoy the day. Book a great summer kayak adventure now and until Feb. 28th and get a campsite rate of only $25!!! Your family like ours will never forget all of the great memories kayaking the river!

2009 Summer Season Well on it's way...

2009-06-15T19:59:00.000-04:00

Hello Folks!! It's us here at Riverbrook, finally taking a quick break to let you in on all the great things we've got going on this year! Jake and Ryan are getting bigger and busier by the minute so on top of taking care of the park and all our great campers...Jack and I have our hands full!!

Memorial Day weekend was phenomenal, we had a FULL PARK! This was an amazing feat as it is just our 3rd summer. A great time was had by all and we even survived a bit of yucky weather. Canoes & Kayaks are all brand new again this year and they made their maiden voyage this weekend. With the popularity of the kayaks we decided not to buy any more canoes but we added three tandem (2 Person) kayaks. We are now able to reserve boats at the same time you make your campsite reservations, so be sure to ask what we have available on those busy weekends so that you don't miss out!

June has proved to be a bit rainy so far but we've got our fingers crossed for good weather at the end of the week as our motorcycle friends roar into town. Thursday they'll take a ride up the Mt. Washington Auto road (motorcycles only this day!) and come back to the park for our 1st ever "Hog Fest". This year we'll be having a pig roast and just hanging out with our friends, new and old but look for additions of a band/entertainment next year! Our special for the month of June is a site rate of just $33.60!! That's and incredible savings off our normal rate so take advantage before we flip the calendar.

Fourth of July is right around the corner and the reservations are coming in fast and furious. Take your vacation with us...spend any 10 consecutive nights including the 4th of July weekend for just $350! Also included are tickets to our Annual Rib Fest...all you can eat ribs that are finger licking good...and a free kayak or canoe rental! Call now before all the best sites are taken!

Happy Camping!!

Winter Fun

2009-01-11T13:23:00.001-05:00

We are having a great time here at Riverbrook RV Resort this winter. We've got a few winter campers and we can be found most weekends out at the snack shack serving up great meals to all the riders! Between campfires, hanging out with friends, good food and great riding...we feel pretty blessed right now. And with another 8" of fresh snow today, things are only looking better. Here are some shots from this weekend! Riding in the area...stop by and see us. We've got warm, clean bathrooms, indoor seating and great food at great prices. Check us out!

Pumpkin Carving
...or painting!
Costume Parade
Trick-or-Treating

A little frosty...

2008-10-19T08:42:00.000-04:00

Well, for the second morning in a row, there's quite a bit of frost out there. Water hoses are frozen everywhere so the bathrooms are quite busy this morning. Few minutes of sun and they'll thaw...so come on sun!! Our last weekend of the season has been a huge success! The pumpkin massacre...um..I mean carving went very well. We even had 'pumpkins' for the little ones to paint rather than carve. There was a little backup waiting for the carving saws but all our budding pumpkin artists waited patiently and eventually everyone got a turn. In the middle of the afternoon, we were inundated with ghosts, goblins, princesses and fairies as we had a costume parade. Thank-you very much to the Serra's who brought the supplies and supplied the manpower to give everyone apple slices and caramel as they set out trick-or-treating. I don't know about anyone else, but our campers were so generous handing out candy that Jake & Ryan have enough to last them all year!! Dinner was great and once again Jack, Keith & Fred did a wonderful job roasting the pork and cooking the hot dogs & hamburgers. To switch it up, we had the side dishes catered and the beans, cornbread, salad & apple crisp were all great. The haunted house opened at 7 pm and everyone got a good scare...thanks Donna for all your help! People have been checking out steadily this morning and headed up to the service center to have their campers winterized. What a perfect end to a great season. We'll keep you updated with all the fun winter activities...and look forward to seeing everyone again in the spring!! (photos of this weekend are coming soon...keep checking back!!)

All of Autumn's Best

2008-10-12T09:53:00.000-04:00

What an absolutely perfect fall weekend. The sun is shining and so warm it reminds us that summer was not so long ago. As the sun sinks behind the mountains in the evening a cool crisp air moves in that makes you just think of campfires and marshmallows! It has been a great Columbus Day weekend...lots of kids here this weekend and we've been having a blast. They even raked a big pile of leaves (less for us to do...) and they spent all of friday evening playing in them. Isn't that just exactly what you are supposed to do in the fall. Many people are headed to the Sandwich fair today...always a fall classic and only a short, beautiful drive away. I'm sad that this will be the first time in many years I don't make it to the fair, but duty calls. Jack & Chris are having a great time down at the Snowmobile Grass Drags & Water Crossing...they have had lots of interest in our winter season and we're really excited about that. We have so much fun here in the winter, the snowmobile trail goes right thru the park and you can honestly go from here to anywhere in New England and Canada. Tenney Mountain is right down the street for those who ski and Waterville and Loon are a short ride up I-93. We really are right in the middle of it all!!

...and last but not least!

2008-10-08T14:31:00.000-04:00

I would be amiss if I did not also say a HUGE thank you to our #1 go-to guy, Chris!! We are constantly impressed with your commitment to making Riverbrook the best it can be. Your hard work and long days are not only noticed they are appreciated more than you know. Thank you to Sarah as well...we know that you are here to relax but we truly appreciate that when the going gets tough...you step up and help with a smile!!

On our own again...

2008-10-08T14:03:00.000-04:00

After a WONDERFUL summer always comes the sad moment when we have to say goodbye to our summer staff. We would have been up the creek, so to speak, if Diane could not have dropped everything and driven all the way from Florida to spend the rest of the summer with us!! THANKS DIANE, you really saved us! And...JOE & SHERRY...the friendliest, most fun-loving and hardest working team we've met to date. Thank you so much for your ideas, creativity, flexability, hard work and untiring quest to continually make the park look and run as great as possible! We wish you the best this winter...keep us updated as to what you are up to (but none of us want to hear how warm it is!!) and if you decide to come back to NH next summer, for work or just to play...you'll always have a home here at Riverbrook!! WE MISS YOU ALREADY!!

Fall has arrived!!

2008-09-28T14:39:00.000-04:00

Leaves are starting to turn, school is well in session and we are well on our way to the end of the season. We've still got lot's going on before the final bell though! We have a few groups in over the next couple of weekends and of course we are the perfect place for Columbus Day. We are just a quick ride away from the Sandwich Fair...always a fall classic! Foliage should be absoulutely beautiful and we've got all the info you need to plan a foliage tour to remember.

Don't forget our 2nd Annual Halloween Bash, October 17-19. We'll have a haunted house (we've got some new cool stuff...thanks Mr. & Mrs. Haffner!) as well as costume contest, pig roast complete with all the fixin's and trick-or-treating!! Don't forget to get your camper winterized as you leave on Sunday. It's included in the price for the weekend!! Sites are booking fast so call or e-mail today! It's Sure to be a haunting good time...

Back to School

2008-09-04T16:24:00.000-04:00

Labor day weekend has come and gone. We've made it to the unofficial end of summer. How does it always go so fast! All the kids are back in school and the leaves are already starting to change. We're so glad we had nice weather for the last big weekend of summer. During the day the pool was the place to be. By dusk there was just enough nip in the air that it felt good to sit around the bonfire making S'mores. It may feel like summer is over, but don't forget there's still 7 more weeks to go before the end of the camping season. We're going to end our season with the 2nd Annual Halloween Bash. You don't want to miss it.

Bounce and Slide

2008-08-19T13:23:00.000-04:00

The rain held off just enough for us to have a great weekend. The Bounce Castle and Waterslide were a big hit with the kids. Thank you to Vermont Bounce for coming and setting it all up for us. We couldn't get away without a little rain Saturday evening but it all cleared out in time for the Ice Cream Social. We also had a nice turnout for the candy bar bingo Sunday Morning.

Rain, Rain, Go Away....

2008-08-15T14:52:00.000-04:00

We have had our fill of rain here in NH. Our thoughts go out to the folks at Ashland who got caught in the flash flood and to the people who had a tornado (of all things!) do damage to their homes.

Thankfully, the Baker River hasn't flooded on us. We did have a tree get struck by lightening and that somehow traveled to our wireless internet system and fried it. Apparently the crazy weather that brought us tons of snow this winter is hanging around for the summer. The good news is, nobody has to worry about their well going dry or watering the lawn.

Pig Roast Weekend

2008-08-11T09:41:00.000-04:00

Jack got up at 2:00am Saturday morning and got the pig on the fire. He spent all day Saturday tending to the pig (with a little help from his brother and the Serra's). We had beautiful weather Saturday right up until it was time to eat. To play it safe we moved the tables inside, and once the last hamburger was grilled and all got our plates were filled it started to downpour. Perfect timing. The food was excellent. The pig was delicious and the campers brought so many tasty side dishes it was hard to decide what to put on your plate. We had lot's of activities besides the pig roast. The men played a horseshoe tournament, and the kids had a scavenger hunt and the weather was nice enough during the day Saturday for swimming and kayaking. Thanks to everyone who came. We had a great time and we hope you come back in October for our end of the season Pig Roast/Halloween Party.

Getting Ready For The Pig Roast

2008-07-31T08:16:00.000-04:00

Preparations are under way for the 2nd annual Pig Roast! Chris and Joe have a big to do list this week. They've got the tent set up and power washed and the campground has been mowed. The pig cooker is coming in today and the special wood Jack's been saving for the pig has to be hauled over. We've been busy in the office taking last minute reservations. It's a lot of extra work but, it's worth it. It's going to be a great weekend!

Our own field of dreams

2008-07-28T11:07:00.000-04:00

The guys found the time to put a ball diamond in the back field. While they were at it they decided to put in some benches for the teams or spectators to sit on. It turned out pretty nice.

Christmas in July

2008-07-21T20:18:00.000-04:00

It was all about Christmas this weekend. At first we were thinking "It's to hot to feel like Christmas" but, once the decorations started going up and the Christmas music was playing it was easy to get into the spirit. By Saturday the kids were ready for making Christmas crafts and after a quick dip in the pool, we started the judging for the best decorated site. Congratulations to the Lynds. Later that afternoon we had a special visit from Santa! Coming from the North Pole he wasn't used to the heat so we let him sit in the air conditioned Rec. Hall. After Santa handed out his gifts we ended the evening with our awesome ice cream social. After dark it was campfires, s'more's, stars and Christmas lights.

Everything Strawberry.....Yummy!

2008-07-14T21:31:00.000-04:00

The highlight of the Everything Strawberry weekend was the Ice Cream Social/Strawberry Potluck on Saturday evening. Delicious desserts and great people to share it with. We had some very creative recipes on the table. My personal favorite was the Strawberry Pizza. Pie crust, cream cheese, and strawberries.....yummy!

Update.... Landscaping of the Gate

2008-07-08T13:24:00.000-04:00

Joe found some time over the holiday weekend to install a sign and some flowers at the gate. With a little help from his trusty golf cart, he dragged this 200 pound piece of Granite all the way from the river path. While he was making the rock border he noticed the smaller rock that looks like the outline of N.H. and couldn't resist putting it beside the sign. It's lookin' good.

Kayak Rentals

2008-07-07T16:29:00.000-04:00

Quite a few of our guests took advantage of the Kayak and Canoe rentals. It's a good deal at $15.oo for a half day kayak rental. If kayaks aren't your thing, the canoes are only $20.00 for a half day. Jack and Chris can tell you where to put in for a one, two or three hour float.

MMM...Rib Fest!!

2008-07-06T23:22:00.000-04:00

We had a spectacular day for our 2nd Annual Rib Fest!! The premise is simple...we supply the ribs, BBQ'd to perfection and you bring a side dish to share. There were so many yummy dishes that people's plates were full even before they got down to the grill to pile on the ribs. Many thanks to Jack for all the prep and cooking and to AJ for all his assistance once the grill was HOT!! And BIG HUGE thanks go to Chris and Joe, our ever hard working crew, that once again worked hard all week to make the park beautiful and make sure that the Rib Fest went off without a hitch!! Where would we all be if we did not have all those great picnic tables to sit on!! A great time was had by all...sorry you missed it!! Make your reservations now for PIG ROAST '08 (Aug 2nd). Sites are going fast!!

Having Fun withTie Dye

2008-07-04T18:11:00.000-04:00

Happy Fourth of July! It's the beginning of an activity packed holiday weekend. This morning we made red, white, and blue tie dye shirts. We all had a great time. It's amazing the different looks you can get. I bet most of us will be wearing our new shirts to the fireworks tonight. I don't have much time to write. We've got to get ready for the bike parade this afternoon!

Happy 4th of July!

2008-07-04T05:52:00.001-04:00

We have our flags flying at Riverbrook. We've been preparing all week for the holiday. Today we're going to Tie Dye some T-shirts and have a bike parade. Fireworks in the field tonight. Tomorrow is our 2nd annual Rib Bash. Jack is cooking the ribs and the campers are bringing the side dishes. Makes me hungry just thinking about it. If you have nothing planned this weekend give us a call. We have room for a few more campers.

Cool Dog

2008-07-02T07:43:00.000-04:00

The pups like to stay cool, too. The pool is only for people, but dogs can go for a swim at the beach.

Rainy Day

2008-06-26T14:55:00.000-04:00

Even if it's raining, the maintenance crew puts on their rain gear and keeps working. According to Murphy's Law it will always rain on days when you have to be outside and when your camping in a tent. Makes you appreciate that hot shower when you get back home.

The Bridge is Done

2008-06-23T11:10:00.001-04:00

Here comes Joe the bridge builder testing the placement of the stones to make sure the golf carts have a smooth crossing. Joe and Chris have been working hard on the bridge, path, and fence. They still have more landscaping to do but this is a good start. Looking good!

The Gate

2008-06-19T18:58:00.000-04:00

For the last couple of weeks one of the big projects going on at the Resort has been the installation of a security gate. Finally today we have it up and running. It works like a charm. It's very easy to use. If you are camping here you have a code you put in and the gate opens. If your visiting, you push the call button on the intercom and we'll open the gate by remote. To leave you just stop in front of the gate and it opens automatically. As you can see, we still have a lot of work to do. There is a bridge being built for golf carts, bikers, and walkers and we still have a lot of landscaping to do. It's going to look great once we get it done. I'll keep everyone updated on our progress.

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-16T20:47:00.000-04:00

Hope Everybody had a great Father's Day weekend. We had a great time here at Riverbrook. The Resort was hopping with seasonals, families and the good folks from the Granite Stater's Group. The weather Saturday was perfect for playing in the pool or soaking in the hot tub. The kids enjoyed gift making, and water games and kids of all ages came for the Ice Cream Social Saturday evening. After a good night's sleep, we treated everyone to a free Father's Day pancake breakfast. What more can you ask from a weekend. Good food, good friends, good times.

We're Having a Heat Wave!

2008-06-10T09:08:00.001-04:00

It's only June but it feels like the dog days of August outside. We've all spent some quality time in the pool this week. If the heat is getting you down, get your swim suit and come on up to the mountains. It's "All About Dad" this weekend and we have some great activities scheduled. Water games, gift making, a float down the Baker River, a free Ice Cream Social Saturday, and a free pancake breakfast Sunday Morning. Don't forget we have a Stay and Play Policy for checkout day. If your having a good time and want to hang out for the day go ahead. No charge. Just let us know in the office so we can make sure no one is checking in on your site. No matter what your plans are, have a great Father's Day and stay cool.

The Little Things

2008-06-06T16:41:00.000-04:00

With a new Resort there's always so many big projects that need to be done. It's nice when we get a break in the busy schedule to be able to do some of the little things. This stuff isn't necessary to the operation of the Resort, but it adds to the comfort of our guests. This week we finished the stairway to the beach that I mentioned in the last post. Also, there is a pond at the front of the park with a great view of the mountains so we put in a bench so people have a nice place to sit and relax. And for our four legged quests and the owners who clean up after them, we added complimentary pickup bags at the entrance to the field. We still have plenty of big things to do, but, every once in a while it's nice to do the little things.

Over the river and through the woods...

2008-06-02T10:42:00.000-04:00

Today we started work on a new set of stairs to get to this beautiful walking trail. This path starts at the Resort and if you go to the right it takes you on a wooded walk that follows the River and leads to the pond at the front of the Resort. A nice shady walk on a sunny summer day. If you go to the left it takes you to our private beach on the Baker River. Keep going past the beach and you find yourself in acres of fields that are perfect for flying a kite, playing a game of softball or just taking a nice quiet stroll.

What a Nice Weekend...

2008-05-28T11:38:00.000-04:00

What a nice bunch of campers we had for Memorial weekend. We hope you all come back again! It was nice to have the park full. The weather was great (well, maybe a little breezy) but, the kids had a great time between candy bar bingo, the playground, game room and especially the pool. We had a great turnout at the Ice Cream Social and Jack and Keri took some of the campers on a Kayak tour down the Baker River. For those of you who don't own your own Kayak we rent them right here at the Resort. Floating down the river is a great way to spend a sunny afternoon. Hope everyone enjoyed the Holiday. We sure did.

Ahhh...the smell of fresh cut grass!

2008-05-14T13:28:00.000-04:00

Today was a great day at the Resort. The weather was gorgeous and we had the first mowing of the season! Nothing makes it feel more like summer than the sound of lawnmowers and the smell of fresh cut grass. The maintenance crew has done a great job getting the lawn in shape after the long winter. It's hard to believe that we were under 4 feet of snow just a month ago. Look at it now!

Wanna take a dip?

2008-05-13T13:50:00.000-04:00

As any pool owner knows, one of the most time consuming and most exciting jobs in the spring is opening the pool. We've spent the better part of the past two days taking the cover off, skimming the leaves and other debris out and filling the pool back to its regular level. Thanks again to the guys from All Seasons Pool & Spa for their help getting the pumps and filters ready for another busy season. All that's left to do is vacuum, finish treating the water to clear it up and fire up the heater! The pool will officially open on Memorial Day weekend. We have just a few sites left and the phone is ringing all the time...hurry and make your reservation before you miss out!!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!

2008-05-11T14:29:00.000-04:00

Happy Mother's Day to all!! We started the morning with a fresh cooked pancake breakfast which was enjoyed by all, especially the little ones!! Then it was off to enjoy the best sunny day we've had so far...not a cloud in the sky and just enough of a breeze to keep it comfortable.

Quiet and peaceful morning...

2008-05-10T10:26:00.000-04:00

Good morning...Today has been the best morning so far this season. It was just a little bit crisp but just the right temperature for sitting on the porch with a cup of coffee. Best of all, it's ready by 7 am, comes complete with one of the best donut holes I've had in a long time...and it's FREE!! Thats right folks, we have free coffee and donut holes every Saturday and Sunday morning from 7 am - 9 am. Come wake up with a cup '0 joe on the porch and make your plans for the rest of the day!! I'll catch you a bit later...I'm ready for another cup!

The Ice Cream Is Here!

2008-05-07T14:58:00.000-04:00

Just in time for the nice warm weather we've been having. We've been busy setting up the store this week. It's amazing how much stuff you can fit in a small store. We have a little bit of everything in here. The shelves have been stocked with rv supplies, paper products, canned goods, soda, beer, snacks, toys, lot's of candy, and of course the ice cream!

WE ARE OPEN!!

2008-05-05T13:49:00.000-04:00

We have survived our opening weekend for the summer of 2008!! Mother Nature gave us some rain for our first weekend, but we didn't let it dampen our spirits. We moved the BBQ to the porch and if we got chilly we went into the Rec. Hall. We had our first ice cream social of the season. We'll be having one every Saturday evening this year. A little rain can't stop us! It was nice to catch up with our returning seasonals, and get to know some new ones. We've got some nice things planned for Mom this weekend. We hope to see you here.

Long time coming....

2008-04-18T19:28:00.000-04:00

We've been busy here, needless to say. The snow is almost melted, only a few small piles left. Started raking around the snow today...Jake and Ryan broke in their new rakes this afternoon. We will be opening on Friday, May 2nd!! We are so excited to see everyone again and look forward to having a great season!

Busy...Busy...Busy

2007-08-24T20:41:00.000-04:00

Well, it has turned out to be an incredible summer. So good so fact, that I have hardly had time to update the blog here. We've been working incrediby hard and our seasonals and repeat campers tell us each weekend that they are always excited to see what is new when they pull in on Friday night. This week, most of our time has been spent setting up for our pig roast tomorrow night. Jack and Chris have just finished prepping the meat and will be headed to catch a few winks here. They'll be up at 2 am to get the fire going and get the pig on by 4 am. It'll be another long weekend, but the sites are almost full...the campfires are glowing and it's great to see. Wish you were here!!

Rib Bash a success...

2007-07-13T20:40:00.000-04:00

Hey all!!

We haven't update this recently because we are still trying to recover from the Rib Bash. We had so much REALLY good food...not to mention the ribs. They were phenomenal!! Many thanks to Bill & Jack for cooking them up. We had so many good 'pot-luck' salads too!! A fun time had by all. Weather has been a bit tricky so we've not been that busy this week but those who did hang out with us, enjoyed the sun when it came out. Pool temp is hovering right around 80 and it looks to be a great weekend...hope to see you here!! PS: Check us out and mark your calender for the Pig Roast on Aug. 25th!!
