For those of you who have not met us yet, my name is Debbie and I have been managing the campground since Sept. 2009.My husband Dave has been taking care of the maintenance since July, 2009.
We started working for McDowell South and continued working for Ed Meadows when he bought the campground in April, 2010.
We have heard about a lot of things that were done in the past - some good and some bad - and I just felt it was time to let everyone know who we are and what we hope to do.
Dave and I run ideas by Ed and it is up to him to make the final decisions but the three of us continually try to think of ways to make Perryville Campground your favorite place to camp.
We have met and become close to a lot of the campers who come here and really enjoy talking to everyone. You can see by the pictures I posted here that we are real animal lovers and want to make your pets feel welcome here too.
We are hoping to put in a fenced dog play area in the near future so your dogs will be able to play off leash without fear of them getting away from you. I also hope to schedule group play times so if your dog likes to play with other dogs, there will be a time the dogs can be sure to find a dog playmate.
We have been trying different activities trying to find out what people enjoy doing here. It seems that the biggest hit is the music entertainment on Saturday nights so we have scheduled music every other weekend through the end of October.
Speaking of October, we have put together some fun stuff for the kids to do Halloween weekend and we're working on more ideas. So far that weekend we have a hayride, bonfire with s'mores, scavenger hunt, trick or treating and Mark Rees performing. It's sure to be a fun weekend for the whole family!
Ed has just lowered the price on the deluxe cabins for the fall and winter. Each of our 2 bedroom cabins have an electric fireplace which is wonderful for a nice, quiet, romantic getaway.
A lot of campers have enjoyed watching the ducks and guineas working on the pond and the campground. The ducks have done a wonderful job keeping the moss, algae and vegetation under control on the pond. The guineas have been very comical walking through the park eating bugs but have really kept the tick population down to a minimum.
Everyone who works here also lives here so we want Perryville Campground to be the best it can be and welcome any suggestions you may have. Ed also has a camper here and spent a lot of time in it this summer so he feels the same way we do.
