Campground Report - Bethany Beach Training Site

By
This is a military campground, so not a place the average camper can stay.  I had been wanting to try this campground out for a while, and the wife and I were going to have a three day weekend, so we made a plan to visit Ocean City, MD for a day and stay at the campground.


The camp sites are part of the training facility.  There is a laundry facility on site and all the sites I saw had water, electric, and sewer.  Cement pads that were very level and some even down near the water.  Not the ocean side, but an inland water area with a dock and a small beach.

There was no WiFi but there was a Poke Gym and two Poke Stops.  So if you're into Pokemon Go  then you'll have some fun there.

Over all the camp ground was really quiet.  It was about $30 a night, but considering how close we were to Ocean City (20 minutes) and with the town of Bethany Beach just a little ways up the road (.5 miles) we thought it was totally worth it.

Next time we plan to take the bikes and ride into Bethany Beach.  There is supposed to be a bit of a boardwalk there and that might be nice to see.

We had a good time, even though the day in Ocean City was rained out partway through.



We had made a stop at the outlet mall earlier in the day for some shopping and lunch, then caught the bus from the Park & Ride into Ocean City.  It drops you off right by the end of the Boardwalk and for $3 for the all day pass it's well worth it.

Bedroom Remodel

Here I am again with another installment of our ongoing project to remodel our travel trailer. My last post  showed the built out bed boxes we created to replace the queen-size bed. Last week, we took an hour after dinner to install the hinges, and covers for each mattress. We opened up one of the mattresses (this is the cheapest foam mattress available from IKEA) to make sure my calculations were close enough. Overall, I'm really pleased with this part of the project. Last weekend we moved on to fixing this section of ceiling. The ceiling had been patched in response to water damage prior to us purchasing the camper. My other half pulled out all the damaged ceiling bits to find almost no insulation remaining after that repair. We picked up some foam board panels from the home improvement warehouse and cut and pieced them to fit.  This part wasn't difficult, but it did take almost all the duct tape in the house (both  Duck  and  Scotch  brands) ...

Bedroom Remodel

This post was written by my Wonderful Wife.   We've had our travel trailer for a few years. One of the many things we've learned is that we don't particularly care to share a bed while camping. The queen size mattress is short (this is a trailer thing that makes little sense to me), and we seem to roll into the middle of the darn thing and it isn't a very good mattress. We decided to pull out the cabinets, the bed, and remake the space for two twin mattresses. To call the plan a plan is to use language a little too strong. But, we did have a plan. Here is what the bedroom looked like on one of our trips. What these manufacturers think is attractive in a window treatment doesn't really sit with our tastes. After  Darling Husband did all the demolition , it was time to get down to building a replacement for that bed. Here is my rough plan, taped onto the floor. It doesn't make much sense, but I did warn you that 'plan' was a strong word. This secti...
