Jellystone RV Park and Campgrounds, Robert, LA

July 2 - 5, 2021

This trip grandkids were with us.  This is a large park in desperate need of repairs.  We arrived to our campsite, and the hookups were down.  So, we drove back to the Ranger Station where they gave us the site next to where we were supposed to be.  It was difficult getting into the site because there were mudholes and wet ground everywhere.  We eventually settled in, set up, and headed to the pool.  The main pool area has two large pools, a baby wading pool, and a splash pad.  The kids loved the pool area.  We then ate dinner, went to bed, and got the next morning for the Global Wildlife Center.  What a wonderful place.  You take a wagon ride through the park and feed the animals.  The tour guide, Lida, told us all kinds of information about the animals.  Our driver was Sarah, and they both did a great job.  We fed deer, cows, llamas, saw camels, giraffes, bison, and emus.  It was baby season, so there were babies everywhere.  I highly recommend the tour.  The rest of the weekend was spent swimming, and on Sunday night we watched fireworks from our campsite.  Speaking of campsites, it rained the whole weekend, and we ended up with a small lake behind our camper.  Other than that, it was good.

Mandatory Evacuation

  August 26, 2020 Mandatory evacuation for Hurricane Laura... Talk about leaving in a hurry!  Packed up a four-year old grandchild, headed down the road to Lampasas, Texas, with no provisions and no idea what we were doing. And the adventure began.  Arrived at a campground called  Our Friends Campground.  They were gracious and helped us out so much.  Especially as we were leaving on the Saturday after we arrived, backing up the SUV to hook up, and realized someone had stolen our hitch.  (Not at the campground - probably WalMart.)  So, off we go, again, but this time with two grandchildren (2 and 4) and head off to find a new hitch.  A seven-hour trip ended up taking 13 hours.  Needless to say, I wasn't sure I was made out for this camping life.  We had already run out of gas and lost the camper keys on the way home from picking up the camper.  So, we get home to no power, no water, almost no way to get down the streets.  ...

May 28 - 30, 2021 This is our second military campground.  The spots were so small that some RV's couldn't back in.  The grandkids came with us.  But, we had a little boy that would not leave our campground and truly ruined the experience for us.  The campground was well kept, but the bathrooms left something to be desired.  There was a logging competition going on Saturday, and that was interesting.  The lake and beach were great with a bounce pillow and a great playground.  We were able to walk with the grandkids and get ice cream and look at the boats.  I don't know if I'd go back because of the closeness of the sites.
