For Hidden Valley Mobile Home Park: We made reservations here to spend time in the area with family. The managers are very nice and accommodating and we communicated with them several times before arrival. The park itself is not very nice at all. It's mostly old mobile homes and some semi-permanent RVs (ranging from 25-year-old trailers with junk around to a half-million dollar tag axle diesel pusher). We were originally assigned to one site, but "someone moved in to that site" before we arrived. I can only assume that it was preferable to the site where we ended up (anything would be, though).
We are full-timers and I'm pretty good at backing our 36' fifth wheel with a crew cab, long bed, dual rear wheel truck into tight spaces - but this is the tightest space I've ever had to deal with. With the trailer on one side of us having a slide extended a few inches over our pad to a work van parked at the very edge of our extremely narrow space on the other, I had to rock back and forth in the narrow roadway and put the truck and trailer at almost a 90 degree angle to get in... but we got it done.
The tiny spaces and dumpy environment aren't the things we disliked the most, though. Directly across the fence behind us (the back of the rig was 4 - 5 feet from the fence - not counting the bike rack) was a furniture factory. The noise pollution is TERRIBLE! The low frequency droning noises I can handle, but the high frequency constant squeal of a bad bearing on a ventilation unit that cycles about every minute caused me to get out my earplugs to sleep at night.
I don't know what we're going to do when we come back to visit (we have a new grandbaby here, after all). The Cincinnati area has a dirth of campground and RV park options. The county parks are seasonal, have stay limitations and poor availability. To get something else, one has to go 45 minutes out of town and pay $40/night. We're going to think long and hard before pulling the rig up here again.
