My good campsite Karma REALLY didn't work for us last night (Monday ). We had planned a long driving day - 450 miles crossing the Rocky Mountains, driving through Denver, and camping in Fort Morgan, CO. In the gathering darkness we followed the directions to the Only RV park mentioned in the Woodall's Camping Guide. The place turned out to be a road worker's camp - dusty, dirty, a small "office" locked up tight, and old, beat-up restrooms, also locked. Driving along that afternoon we had learned of severe storm warnings for the Fort Morgan region, and the growing black sky was confirming the news. What to do? We stopped at a Comfort Inn and they had one room available (for $135 + taxes) but the young girl at the reception desk told us about a campground in the next town of Brush. We decided to keep camping. Off we drove into the darkening storm to Brush's Municipal Park and Campground, which turned out to be only a small step up from the last dive! We hurried to set up the van, and hunker down to stay dry as the storm hit. Boy did it hit! Remember the leaking window over the bed from last year? Yep! It still leaks! Morning found us drying out towels, blankets, and sheets, but better off than the homeless family who spent the night in their pick-up truck backed under a picnic shelter roof nearby. Much to be thankful for!
