Knotty Pine, Woodland, UT

The last time we went to Knotty Pine Resort, it was pretty rough, but that was several years ago. They have made a lot of improvements since then--swimming pool and hot tub, new restrooms and showers, laundry room, nice playground, clubhouse, more sites, and lots of grass. It may be our favorite Camperworld campground.

The only bad thing is that there was no Internet here and we had to travel to the Church about 7 miles away to park in their parking lot to do my transcription for Travis.
It has surprised us that we are ready to go on to someplace else after a week. We thought that we would be tired of moving so often, but it seems, so far, that we are ready to move on.

We didn't do any fishing in the Provo River that runs along the park since Terry doesn't have a Utah fishing license. But some of the sites were close enough to hear it running during the night.
The new pool and hot tub are really nice. We actually were able to go swimming one of the days we were there. Since it was really busy during Memorial weekend, we waited til the crowd was gone to go.

There were lots of families here over the weekend and it sure made us feel lonely being all by ourselves with no family around, so we invited three brothers to come in and watch the Jazz game because they couldn't get any reception on their TV.

Knotty Pine also has a new playground for the kids. It is really nice. The grandkids would love it here.
We had a campfire a couple of nights. We were camped on a corner and got all kinds of suggestions as to what we should be cooking over the fire. I was roasting some marshmallows and a man brought his two grandkids by so we could show them how to do it. They were waiting for their fire to get to the right stage for marshmallows and I think he was trying to keep them entertained while that was happening.
Our wood was some we had gathered from the woods and it was pretty green--thus the smoke. We have a hard time paying $4-$5 for a small bundle of firewood.





Well, on to the next adventure, and Echo Island Campground in Coalville. It is only about fifty miles away, so we won't have much time in traveling, or cost of fuel! That is always good.
