We spent New Year’s 2018 weekend at Cypress Glen Campground in the Withlacoochee State Forest at Silver Lake in site #46. This is a nice campground, but there are not a lot of level sites big enough for a 34′ motorhome. We barely fit in our site, had to jack our front wheels 8″ – 10″ off the ground, and our front door barely cleared a large oak tree. It was difficult to enter or exit the camper without making contact with the tree.
We managed to place our portable satellite dish in a spot where we could acquire 2 of the 3 Dish Network Satellites which provided us with every channel we required for New Year’s Day college football. Satellite access from any other site would have been difficult. There was no access to broadcast television via the antenna. We did get good Verizon voice and LTE data coverage as I was “on call” all weekend and unfortunately it was a busy weekend.
All negatives aside, we camped here with friends and had a great time. We took the Weber Bullet Smoker with us and smoked ribs on Saturday. Smoking at the camp site was easy, but cleaning up the mess while camping was not nearly as convenient as at home.
