New Danforth Bay Brochure

I got the new Danforth Bay brochure yesterday (that you get at checkin).
It looks very similar to the 2005 brochure. Here are the changes I spotted:

* Map of the Bluffs. People can try out the Bluffs for $42 a night (for a minimum of 2 weeks).
* Danforth Bay has expanded cable now with 73 channels!
* New trash trailers available from 8AM-2PM through-out the park
* 2007 rates posted (most things going up by $2.00). 20% discount on fall/spring mid week stays (Sun-Thurs)
* Speed Limit = 7MPH
* New Volleyball and Tennis courts

Going Seasonal - Day 1 - Moving In Day

Yesterday was moving in day at Danforth Bay. DBCR is now a buzz with kids riding their bikes, golf carts moving around the campground, kids (and adults alike) shooting hoops at the basketball courts, and the store open.

The new seasonal office (where the apartment used to be) here at DBCR is really nice. Cold Springs delivered our camper.

Day one was tiring emotionally as well as physically. We waited on our site until 1130 when Cold Springs showed up to deliver our camper. A couple of hours later they hauled off our old camper. Its nice to be in our new camper but to see the old one go away is difficult because he had good memories in that one. Then came the unpacking and deciding where to put things!

Fires are not allowed here at DBCR this weekend. Most likely because it has been a really dry spring. Hopefully we will get a little bit of rain so this can be corrected before Memorial Day. They were working on the main road yesterday and had to take the detour. This will be really nice once it is paved.

Going Seasonal: Moving In Weekend!

Lots happening at Danforth Bay!

This weekend begins moving in for new seasonals at Danforth Bay Camping Resort and the end of our life as we know it! Patty has been diligently packing up the van all week with clothes, food, supplies, pots, pans, cleaning supplies, you name it (everything on my checklist and then some). We even had to take a detour on the way home from our 12 hour ride to visit family for Easter in order to visit a favorite interior decoration store for the camper (e.g., (Kirkland's ... people in the south know what i'm talking about). Patty did a great job packing up the camper... it was so jammed packed with stuff that we had to take two cars up! Not good for these gas prices.

Well at DBCR, some early birds were taking advantage of the weather and are now up there camping early. We are staying close by so we can be there bright and early for setup of our new camper which is arriving from Cold Springs RV.

The new entrance at DBCR looks GREAT! They will have to relocate the snack bar because that is now a road. The "wood" cage still exits in its same location.

Other Danforth Bay events: May 1st is when you can schedule shorter stays (e.g., weekend). Stayed tuned for our story on this! Be sure to call early because sites will fill UP FAST!!!

May 5th is their opening weekend!!!

Stay tuned for updates all weekend long (if I have internet from my web site).

Bluffs/Cold Springs

Cold Springs stated today that camper deliveries to the Bluffs has been delayed until June.

Visited Cold Springs and Camper's Inn

We went up to Cold Springs RV today in Weare, NH. Its always a pleasure dealing with Norm. We missed the free food from the Open House though. They shut that off at 2PM. We didn't see the product demonstrations.

We then stopped at Camper's Inn of Merrimack to pick up a few things from their sale paper. During checkout we recieved a FREE COLEMAN COOLER. This is available to those of you who receive their sales booklet. Stop in and get a nice cooler (a $40 value). You'll need to inquire about this at the parts department. We purchases a few things from both establishments.
