RV troubles finally behind us we needed a getaway. God knows Barb needed the respite, the last month has been hard on her nerves. For my bride this mean the 'one armed bandits'. We have spent time and camping at several casinos around the area, but not so much here. Located just across the Mackinac Bridge and 4 miles NE, it is a large facility with parking and RV sites. 108 miles from home. There is a large lot to overnight for free, but there are also 21 sites offering 20/30/50-amp service with water during the warmer months. There is a dump station on site: $30/night. Other campgrounds in the area run from $42-$60/night. This includes use of the hotel's weight room and pool. There are no reservations, but you can pay for up to a week when you check in. Site check-in isn't until noon. If you arrive early and a hook-up site is available, take it and wait until noon to check-in. It is a 10-minute walk to the casino, a very large affair with all the bells and whistles. This was also my first trip using my CPAP on the road.
Sometimes I accompany her to the casino and have a beer, watch the game, or even play awhile, but it's just not my usual thing. I'm perfectly happy to hang out with the fur babies, grocery shop, laundry, and make the meals. Most times the happy, relaxed look on her face each night is my reward.

This trip I prepared Slow Cooker Venison Onion Meatballs, Cajun Venison Grillades, Oaxaca Chicken, and Asado a la Parrilla.
The CPAP worked fine, fitting just to the side of the head of my side of the bed. I did have to adjust the kitchen faucet spray setting and performed a factory reset on the computer panel to get the drivers installed for the gas/electric water heaters. I also spent one afternoon downloading and reading the entire owner's manual for the Fox Forward Computer System. All good now.
Barb doesn't always win on her casino trips, but she usually does pretty well. She knows what she is willing to spend and sets that as her limit. She has always been a 'lucky pup'. After having a rocking first night up $660 she finished this week still up $280. The RV Park is adequate, but a bit pricey at $30/night. We spent our week kicking back each within our own and loving life. I am a lucky man. The fur babies are just plain frickin' spoiled. As far as rating this campground.
