Hello everybody, from Clermont Fla living in a 73 Holiday Vacationer in Turin New York, and Loving it. Living at Snow Ridge Campground for the winter, working out the bugs in my Travel trailer, Y'all would Love the view, the place is quiet for know, four wheelers and snow sleds in the winter, by the trail and full hook ups 30/50, dump station , and a Clean bathhouse. Towpath And Steak and Brew restraint is just a walk away, you can ski in and out or four wheel or sled. My name is Dave and I will be here all Winter so come see me and have a great time, Thank-You for having me

Hi Dave! You are a brave soul. I remember going to Turin as a kid. Snow, snow, and more snow and COLD! LOL I am from the Adams area originally and now live in NC. Stay warm and welcome to IRV2.

Welcome Dave, We are from Cicero NY and will be doing the opposite in just a few weeks as we head to Florida for the winter. Loved to ski when I was a kid but the cold no longer appeals to us.

How do they handle the water and sewer lines in the CG with the subzero temps we get in upstate NY? I also imagine with the light insulation in a camper you would run through propane very quickly. Keep a snow shovel handy up there because you will see lots of it.

Hi Dave! Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad to have you join the bunch here! Hey, man, you've got your seasons mixed up! You're supposed to go to New York in the summertime, not the winter! You're gonna freeze your bootie off up there!

Good luck & God bless!

Hi Dave and welcome to the group. I hope you've got plenty of money to heat that in the winter because you'll need it. About mid Feb. you'll br looking for a way out and it may be by sled dog. Good luck on your winter stay in NY. Makes me cold thinking about it.

Thank Y'all for the support, Where I was in Florida it was All About the Mouse, Disney and I needed to just get away from the Rat Race, and I am calmer for know... But I will end back up in Fla or go back to San Jose Ca. But next time in back in Fla I Will be South of where I was. Miss the changing of the seasons, and all My friends and family that I have there. Thank All of you for the greetings and Y'all be safe, I know this TT is going to eat Propane like crazy, and the Gas Man is going to Love me this year.

In response to Hd2 mark they have only been open for 2 years and they got bugs to work out , see the people that use this camp ground are Sleders and skiers and a few wheelers so theyhook up the sewers and bring their own water because The water freezes, Primative but it will work for me this year, and this was the second question I asked too.
