The Family Motor Coach Association recently rebranded as the Family RV Association. Any type of RV owners are now welcome to join.
RJ Four Mile Pig was a nine minute walk from the campground. What looks like just a gas station serves good BBQ sandwiches and has a great selection of beers. We were the only people eating after dark in a tent out back. It is probably a busy place for lunch during the week.
