While on my
way to SC, I was ready for a quick overnight in this area. The night
before I had been scared by tornado sirens heard from the campground
I was staying at in Theodore, AL (blog
post about that), so I was ready for a quiet night.
I saw Leisure
Time Campground listed on Microsoft Streets & Trips, but I couldn't
find a website for it. From comments I saw on RV
Park Reviews, I was a little concerned about being able to level
and I wanted a pull-through, not wanting to have to unhook the car
for such a quick stay.
I called and
spoke to the manager, Carol, and she was so friendly and helpful,
she put my mind at ease. She said if the office wasn't open when
she got there, to pull around to the sites on the creek which have
pull throughs and are the most level.

When
I arrived, I saw that she had a welcome sign out for me with
a note to pick "whatever looks good." Even though
she guessed the spelling of my name wrong, I was impressed with
the the personal welcome! I looked at the Site
Map and found my way down the hill and around to the creekside. |

This
picture shows the creekside row, with J being empty and me occupying
Site K. As you can see, these sites are nicely level, large
pull-throughs. |

It's
hard to see the pretty little creek here, but I loved how the
trickling sound could be heard from my bedroom window - with
the weather being perfect for open windows at night, I slept
better than I had in ages! |

This is the hill going down to the sites in the circle shown
on the site map. The softball field is on the right and I
imagine pretty noisy when a game is going on. The
first sites you see are back-ins (#1 and #2), then pull through
G, all around to the motorhome in #7).

Site G shows the proximity to the softball field.

The
motorhome here is in site U in the middle part of the park.
I noticed one of its front wheels was off the ground in order
to level. |

I wouldn't
hesitate to stay here again and will probably look it up again on
my return trip. I met Carol the next morning when I went to pay
and enjoyed visiting with her so much, I just had to hug her before
I left - she makes it that kind of place!
My main
tip is not to miss the turn like I did the first time. The only
sign is a pretty small one (shown above) at ground level so I almost
missed it on the way back as well.
The rates
were reasonable and I like how they offer services "ala carte"
so you can pick and choose just what you need. I couldn't get satellite
TV on my site since it was directed right into the trees, so I opted
for the cable charge and had no problems with it.
