Me & some friends ventured to Jason's to stay for the weekend. I just want to start with, "I've stayed at some redneck-infested campgrounds before (please insert banjo music here) so I THOUGHT I was prepared!"
When I started pulling up to the campground, I swore that the place looked like a tent city-after the Apocalypse. There were tents on top of tents... or so it appeared that way. I could only think that this is the place to be. It seems very popular.
The Service:
I walked in to the "general store" (make sure you brought your groceries!) to get the directions to my sight. they had to make sure that my reservations that i had made 3 WEEKS in advance were still good and that they didn't give my site to another person. I want it to be known that these employees were very nice, just not very organized.
The Site:
We needed to accommodate one pop-up camper, one large tent & one small tent. I would suggest getting individual campsites & not putting them all on one. their electric sites are rather small & there are no boundaries to keep your neighbors from crossing into your site.
The Bathrooms:
I know that i am at a campground in the middle of the woods with a bunch of Hooligans (myself included) but the care that they take of their bath-houses is ridiculous. if this were my business, i would be embarrassed. absolutely NO PRIDE in what they do when it comes to their showers or toilets. Toilets stay clogged all day long. when you walk in and start seeing them, you want to vomit.
please understand, I am not exaggerating.
The Float Trip:
It was amazing. we went on a 10 mile float. The river was awesome. beautiful. we tipped the canoe once & i couldn't believe how many people came to help... and we "payed it forward" more than a couple of time for others. it was my first time on the Current River & i will go back.
when they picked us up, the drive back was pretty relaxing. if you have kids, it pretty much helps them pass out but when we all get off at the campground, they are sure to ask what "white pride" means & why does one of the passengers have it tattooed across his belly. if you can't come up with an answer, you can use mine: "Because he is an idiot & it was just a phase he was going through when he was in prison."
The Swimming Pool:
You can't see the bottom of the pool. It looks like watered-down milk. No kidding. I've never seen anything like it. I'm sure that after I post this, someone will post an excuse as to why the pool looked that way, but people, I just don't think there is an excuse. Don't go swimming in the pool.
All in all, we had a great time. there were 12 of us all together. we got to have a great time and our kids learned some valuable lessons such as wearing a bikini is not a right... it's a privilege.
...and the next time we all get together and try to make some more memories, i think we will do it some place else.
...and whoever comes after me to post excuses or justifications as to why the facilities are the way they are: "Don't waste your time with typing reasons why you failed at impressing me. Instead, come up with solutions of how you can impress your next group of campers."
