5 Aug - Good Bye Riverbend. Hello Timberland Acres RV park

5 Aug
Time to pull chocks at Riverbend and head down to Acadia National Park and Timberland Acres RV park.  We headed up to the dump station and after a thorough flushing of the gray and black tanks and saying our goodbyes to Hammy and Lorie, about 09:32 hrs we headed on down the road.  After some of our road trips we decided to head on up to Bangor on I-95 and then south on 1A to Trenton ME and Timberland Acres RV Park.  It was a bit longer, but smooth sailing with 4-lane highways the majority of the trip.  Also no worries about low bridges and weight embargos.  At 12:39 we arrived after about  126 miles and a couple stops.

Our 18th campground on this trip

Back to stats, we have traveled 7842 miles, burned a little over 601 gallons of diesel costing $1364.38 with a per gallon average of $2.273

Like Riverbend, Timberland Acres is a commercial campground, so the cost is higher than the military campgrounds.  This place is $45.39/night compared to ~ $20/night at the military sights, but we are in a very touristy location also.  Doreen talked to a neighbor and they paid over $115/night. not far from here, so it pays to do your homework and make reservations in advance..

246 Camp sites.  We are in 209.  It is much bigger than the picture shows

So we have a nice pull-through spot that is over 100 ft long, with full hookup.

Rear view.  Old Glory and the Air Force flag flying high and proudly.

Gravel spots, nice and wide

Nice spacing between rigs

The State tree, pine trees in the background.  Our neighbors are from Missouri.

They come to your camp spot each morning and pick up your trash and recyclables.  Nice swimming pool and laundry facilities.  The campground has Wi-Fi and the signal is pretty strong, but the through-put is lousy.  I am on Verizon Hotspot right now from my iPhone to finish this post.  We will be here for 10 nights and plan to see sights up and down the coast.  Doreen has scoped out a lobster boat cruise where you get to help them harvest lobsters from the traps.  She also has reservations on a lighthouse cruise where you get to see lighthouses inaccessible from shore.
