Niagara Lazy Lakes RV Resort

We got an early start this morning, but it was still hot when we arrived at Niagara Lazy Lakes. We spent most of the drive on I-90, paying another $24.35 in tolls. We bought diesel at a Flying J in Pembroke, New York, paying $3.97 per gallon (using the RV Plus card 8 cent discount). That's the most we've paid for diesel in quite a while! I understand that New York has very high diesel taxes...

Niagara Lazy Lakes is a very large RV park. I saw Site number 378 on the map, but I'm not sure that's all there is. We had made reservations through our Resorts of Distinction (ROD) membership a couple of weeks ago, but the fellow at the Security Booth had no record of it! I showed him the confirmation email on my iPhone, but he said there was no confirmation number... Then I showed him my ROD card and the whole situation changed. He became very affable and welcomed us and assigned us a site. Turns out they have been having trouble with their Lazy Lakes members just showing up without reservations and expecting a site "like they used too, before we got so big...!"

The price is right -- you can't beat zero -- but, they only have a few sites with sewer hook-ups and of course, all of them are full. Since we are staying here a week, we'll either have to pull out and go dump, or pay $7 to have the honey wagon come empty our tanks.

These are long back-in sites and we first set up way back. Then discovered we did not have a good shot across the next row of trees for the satellite, so pulled up the jacks and moved forward about eight feet. Forry thought at first it hadn't been enough, but the dish finally latched on and we are getting good reception.

We will probably lay low tomorrow, then start exploring the Niagara Falls area. I can hardly wait!
