A very quiet night and a good sleep here at the Holiday Rambler service centre. They could not fit our repair into their schedule while we were here (we did not have an appointment). But not a big deal nothing is broken and we got two free nights camping with full hook-ups, a factory tour and a tour of the RV Hall of Fameas well, we like free!
This morning a nice walkabout the parking lot (resort), love the scenery, a farmers field, makes us feel like we are at home!

Shortly after 9 am we hit the road, some back roads, some interstate, some rain, a good uneventful day to travel.
215 miles
Only 215 miles today but more than enough. We arrived shortly after 1 pm and pulled in to Lake Shore Resortin Davison Michigan. This is another one of our membership parks that we have never been to. We like the fact that we have to pay no overnight fees. (we could stay for two weeks twice a year but only have two nights to spare). Did I say they have real good free wifi too!
entrance to the resort
We were welcomed at the gate and told to find a site (any site we want) set up then register at the store. So we drove around a bit and settled for a nice site that suited our purpose. They have 400 sites to choose from!
beach, playground
more beach
mini golf

Once set up I registered at the store and drove about a bit more.

Then we can relax outside in the sun for a couple hours with our books. It was actually about 74f so quite comfortable. Set up our Weber Q 100 and fired it up for supper. We even got to see our first Robin this spring right here too, just wonderful!
Hi Robin
Settled in now and relax for a couple days (we are only 3 hours from home) but don't like to rush you know. This is so nice, the BBQ'd meal tonight is a couple of pork chops, potatoes with onion, carrots in foil with a little butter, soo tasty.
yep its all good
I know we will enjoy it here, just wish we could stay longer!
Glad you could stop by for a visit! Come again anytime.
Check to see where we have been this past winter, below
The park map on their website doesn't do this place justice. It's nice. This would be my kind of park, especially when you were told, "go find a site and come back and see us". We've been in places where they basically tell you to park right next to the dumpster, even though the rest of the park is empty. Something I don't quite understand, nor will I pay for. What is the "membership" that you have for this one? Is it the "Outdoor Adventures" deal? Looks like it, just not sure. Enjoy your stay.
Our memberships are ROD (Resorts of Distinction), Coast ton Coast. and AOR (Adventure Outdoor Resorts).
We make full use of all our memberships, here we are in under ROD. So we can stay twice a year for up to two weeks at a time with no nightly fees. This allows us to fulltime in our coach and travel staying in lots of different resorts with full hookups. Our yearly average for camping costs (including all fees) is about $2,500 a year, an average of $6.80 a night.
We like using ROD. However, we'll be losing it in June since all of the Thousand Trail Parks are opting out. We'll still be able to use the parks under RPI though so it's not so bad. Enjoy.
