C. B. Smith Park

Lucky for us - we were able to stay in our Bus during our house hunting trip @ C.B. Smith Park which is in Pembroke Pines, FL.   Here is Tom @ our site - #11.  This is a large county park not far from I-75.  It’s obviously a popular park for this area  -  lots of stuff for folks to do.  The tennis courts were occupied all the time - long into the night.  They are far enough away from the CG - so the noise from tennis playing was not an issue.  The CG sites are fairly large, roads & sites are paved and sites were larger than we expected.  50 amp - full hookups.  We were very pleased with the location of this CG — it was minutes from where we needed to be everyday.   $30/night for us (23/for Florida residents).  How canyou beat this — when nice hotels in this area are $180 - 250 a night?  Ouch!  So we loved this benefit —-

but

The concert — the last night of our stay they had a concert.  It went on all night - you may remember i blogged about it.  Boy was it LOUD.  This is a problem if your looking for a peaceful weekend - it could be completely spoiled by a concert. 

Although we don’t like the threat of a concert — we are returning to this CG prior to moving into our new home.   We have to stay somewhere for about a week — and we’ll just take a chance.  Here’s Tom checking out where we’ll be next time. 

Somewhere we have a sound machine — i must find it before we leave.  You know those machines that have different sounds — raining , ocean waves, birds chirping.  Whatever.  One of those sounds may help drown out any concert.  Maybe.   We may invest in some ear plugs too.

Here are few more pictures of to show a broader perspective.  Click pics to see a closeup. Good size sites - eh?
