Nice camp ground and trying to recover from Hurricane Helene

All was well as usual until I dumped my septic tanks and found that neither dumping station had a working tank-rinse hose. One station
had no hose at all, the other had one with TW0 female connectors. So, I never rinsed and lived to regret it. I have had a serious septic odor since that day, despite adding tank treatments. By plugging the bathroom sink, I manage to keep the odor contained in that drain line until I have to empty the basin. Then, I re-plug.
(Of course, I later found my own drain hose).
Sadly, some people who enjoy camping for themselves ruin it for others.
I'm off to Maine again, soon. I'm 84, so I don't take life for granted, but I do hope I'll be back to Petersburg next fall. I's a lovely spot.

My favorite place to camp every year making many memories. The water was lower than expected this year and the hurricane took out a lot trees so it wasn’t the same but we still enjoyed it making the best of it!

Beautiful campground, perfect campsites with lots of space in between. We were very sad that the trails weren’t open, but we had a wonderful time.

Lots of work left to do post Helene. But the fields need to be leveled and detritus removed. New seedlings need to be replanted to bring this park back. Sites are still beautiful and staff is great.
