We've been here in Hither Hills Campground for 2 weeks. It's just 20 minutes into Ottawa, so very convenient. The main part of the house was built in 1898 and these people bought it in 1948 to farm. They used to have cattle and walk them down the road and over to the train station a mile away to ship them out. Two of their old threshers stand by the driveway. It turned out that the place is all rock so they turned it into a campground in 1962. It is in the Wooddall's recommended campgrounds but I can't imagine how many stars it got. Roger calls the handyman Willy Picton. It has quaint log fences, you park in the field, the 'rafters' of the bath house are log poles and the showers, which open to the outside, have a pull chain. I've never seen that before. Friendly people. A fellow we met told us that his daughter went to the summer day camp at the Reptile Refuge down the road. The high point for her was when they brought their alligator over here and let him swim in our pool. I didn't.
