Weather: Dull and Windy (80's)
Miles Today: 423
We got up early again and headed for a resort which is supposed to be as good as Timber Shores. We travelled for a while on the same highway and we saw the same restaurant across the highway in Indiana. When we arrived at La Porte we saw that it was still under construction and it has only been open for camping for two weeks! Our spot is nice but it would be even better when they really get this camp going. This is our last camp before we get home. Approx. 325 - 50 miles away. I will be writing the next page in London.
Re: Timber Shores. This was a campground that we had previously camped at in Michigan. We had all loved it there.
Once among the largest and most popular RV campgrounds in the midwest, Timber Shores was revered as a vacation destination in the mid-60s to late-70s. After the energy crisis that began in 1973 made travel too costly and the nation endured times when gas wasn’t even available, the campground struggled and never recovered its former allure when it teemed with resorters who filled travel trailers, campers and tents on about 700 sites.
