Greys Point Camp, Topping, VA

It was an early start - 8:30 AM - and an early arrival - 1 PM - at Grey's Point Camp in Topping, Virginia. It was another beautiful travel day and we arrived on schedule. This will be our home for (hopefully) the next 4 months and the early indication is that it will be a great experience. The park is very impressive from the entrance:

to the office:

That is the building where Josie will be working. It is very big inside and includes a nice store that appears to be complete with main grocery items, clothing and RV supplies. The campground itself is spread out and there is plenty of room for activities and family fun. Starting with the playground area:

and the pool, which is actually 2 pools - one for the slide and one for swimming:

Right now, the park gets visitors mostly on the weekends until school lets out. The park was near empty when we arrived with the exception of the annual people that stay in a different location within the park. These spaces below will all be filled once the season kicks off on Memorial Weekend:

Already, we are feeling more welcome than we were in Big Pine Key. The Manager, Mary, hugged us and welcomed us along with the General Manager (Kristina) whom we met at the Tampa RV show back in January. The other workers were all there to greet us when we arrived at our site and got set up. There is a pot luck dinner tonight at the sister park - Bethpage RV Resort - that is about 7 miles from here. It appears that there is great camaraderie here and that always makes for a pleasant experience. Our site is better than average for workamper sites, and even though we are not totally set up yet, you can see our rig as the second one in from the end:

We will get a better shot of our space once the platform (patio) is placed in the proper location on our site and we can set up our grill and weather station. That is suppose to happen today, although now it is raining and we don't know how long that will last. We are thankful that we beat the rain here and didn't have to travel in any wet weather.

Our work schedule begins this Friday, so we have a couple days to discover where things are. It started last night with our first trip to Walmart, about 8 miles from here in the small town of Kilmarnock. We crossed the bridge over the Rappahannock River which is the access to Chesapeake Bay. This park is right on the water and there are many boats being stored here. There is a lot of history in this area and we aren't too far from Williamsburg, so we expect to spend a lot of time visiting some of these historic sites. We anticipate having a great time while we are here, so let's get started...
