A Few Words on Chesapeake Bay Thousand Trails:
Chesapeake Bay Thousand Trails is a busy park. Be sure to book your reservations in advance to your visit. Some of the roads are small and one way only, be sure to pay attention the signs so you do not go the wrong way down a road. When we were there last summer some of the sites (near the river and the small lake) were rough (it looked like they were working on underground lines).
