Friendly Campground Community
My husband and I along with our dog had a wonderful month's stay at Smuggler's Roost. The amenities were terrific. Big bathroom with a nice hot shower and portable heater to keep the room toasty warm. The bathroom was cleaned daily. Also a real nice laundryroom. The washers and dryers all new and work great. There we're books and videos available as well. Water and electric and sewer were very convenient. Plenty of room to walk our dog. The community was so friendly. We made several friends we hope to "see down the road" as they say. We really enjoyed all the people we met. Curly was so nice and so helpful. He made sure we had everything we needed to make our stay great.
