GDG- Granite Hill Campground

[Char & Charlie]

As probably the only member that lives full time in a motorhome as does
nothing but travel the country, I will offer my opinion.  We have stayed at
Granite hill and would not go back.  Depending on the size of your RV -  the
sites are small and few are level.  We have a 42' motorhome and stayed for
10 days and were never level in any of the three sites we were in .

We much prefer Little Drummer Boy.  The biggest problem was the whole
campground is so wooded that we had no satellite TV.  No big deal for
weekender who are looking to get away, but for us who live in one I need my
Fox News, HBO and Food Network, sports channels.

Although the drive from GH is much more interesting - driving up the
Fairfield rd and going by the Black Horse Tavern and the raise of the famous
counter march of day two everyday several times was a treat and you notice
something new each time.

My 2 cents
