We had been looking in the Passport America book and found a place in a town called Radcliff near Fort Knox that offered the 50% discount without a number of restricted days. We knew that we wanted to spend a week or so in Kentucky exploring the area, so decided to check it out. Even with our KOA Value Card, it had cost us $66.60 for the two nights at the South Louisville KOA. We have not been using any of the amenities offered, so it seemed rather high.
Homestead/Yarwood MHP (Motor Home Park) is not the usual RV Park. It is actually full of older motor homes, some owned, but the majority rented. Radcliff is adjacent to Fort Knox, so I imagine some of the families are military, while most of the rest seem to be working folks. The school bus came through this afternoon and dropped off a large number of small children.
The park signs are confusing and we had quite a time finding the office. I finally got out and walked a few blocks until I found it. The office lady gave us a guide in a golf card who told us to go back out of the park and come back in another way. He then led us down to a large grass and gravel area that was for RVs. We are the only ones there. The electrical connection is one of six on the wall of the laundry building. There are mobile homes all around this area that probably has space for a dozen RVs.
I drove back to the office to pay for our site. We are going to stay for seven days while we explore. At the Passport America rate of $15 per night, that should have been $115. But, the lady said "No, you get the weekly rate -- $90. I gave her my PA number, paid her in cash and got a receipt that just said Ms Hardt (I had given her our last name when I called yesterday.). That was it, no registration information at all...
