A week ago we contacted all of the Campgrounds in our Free RV Camping Program that were in the path of Hurricane Sandy to find out if any sustained damage they from the storm. We wanted to let our customers know whether they planned to open on schedule this spring. Surprisingly, nearly all the campgrounds reported little or no damage from the monster storm.

Jennifer from Sea Grove Camping Resort in Ocean View, NJ told us, “We were one of the lucky ones from Sandy.  Our campground did not sustain any damage.  We are very thankful.

Big Timber Lake Camping Resort in Cape May Courthouse, NJ  emailed us and said, “Thank you for asking about us. Our area made it through Sandy basically untouched unlike our friends a few miles north of us. So we are on schedule to open April 29th.”

Seashore Campsites in Cape May, NJ  also sent us an email: “Storm damage has been repaired and we are ready for our season to open on April 15th. Regards”

Helen from King Nummy Trail Campground in Cape May Courthouse reported, “We are GOOD. Luckily we did not have nearly the damage that the campgrounds north of us did. And there were some down our way that had tree and water damage. But King Nummy did well.”

Beachcomber Camping Resort in Cape May report on their website that, “Beachcomber and Cape May County were lucky and are perfectly fine after Hurricane Sandy! Come see for yourself, we are good as new!”

Frontier Campground in Ocean View, NJ reports that everything is “…A-OK and we are getting ready to open on schedule.”

Unfortunately, a potent winter storm now named “Nemo” is set to affect many of the same areas as Hurricane Sandy. Although not quite the monster hurricane Sandy was, Winter Storm Nemo will affect coastal areas with high winds, increased wave action,  higher than normal tides, and in some areas a storm surge. Inland areas of the Northeast U.S. and New England are on alert that major snowfall totals could make this a storm of “historic proportions.”

Some of our campgrounds in the affected area are: Apple Island RV Resort, South Hero, Vermont; Camp Bell Campground, Campbell, NY; Cozy Pond Camping Resort, Webster, New Hampshire; Crazy Horse  Campground, Littleton, New Hampshire; Highland Campground, Scotland, Connecticut; Nelson’s Family Campground, East Hampton, Connecticut; Peters Pond Park RV Resort, Sandwich, Massachusetts; and Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park, Woodridge, NY.

We will be checking in with our Free RV Camping Campgrounds in the near future to see how they fared from Nemo. We hope everyone will heed the warnings and take proper precautions against this dangerous storm.

Editors note: We contacted the campgrounds that were affected by Nemo. Thankfully, all of the campgrounds fared relatively well and plan to open on schedule. Let’s hope the big storms are done for the season and Spring gets here soon!
