Lavonia Park, TX - 4,600 Miles

After staying at three straight Corps of Engineers camp grounds we were due to hit a loser. Lavonia Park is in a great place, right on Lavon Lake. The camp sites were far apart and had water and electricity. The only problem with them was that none of the sites were even close to level. We tried every combination of boards we had to get the RV level without success. We were hacked because we drove down a road with a 2 ton limit after avoiding another road that had a sign on it saying it was closed (it wasn't) to get to this park. Relucantly we pulled out after trying to level up in a couple of sites.

And the roads to the park...... The absolute worst roads we have traveled so far. Apparently road building in Texas is not a science. The roads were literally falling apart. I had to swing into another lane several times to avoid places where the road was disappearing into the ditch beside the road. Texas TxDot either uses terrible road construction techniques or believes in doing road building on the cheap or a combination of both.
