VFW RV Park, Kodiak, Page 415

7/29/06 Reader Update - Because your book stated that the VFW campground was near town and was the only one with electricity we called them from the ferry from Homer and made reservations for 2 nights.  When we arrived, maybe about 10 p.m., the manager was very kind and accommodating, but the "park" was a total trash pit.  Most of the sites were occupied by units that stayed there and most of those units were surrounded with junk.  It was extremely unpleasant, and we think you should just delete any mention of this "RV Park" from your book or at least include a caveat.

Fort Abercrombie State Park, Kodiak, Page 415

7/29/06 Reader Update - Next morning we tried Fort Abercrombie.  You're right in saying it's an incredible location.  The problem, however, was that even our little 21 foot Chinook couldn't fit on their small, very sloped sites.  They have an overflow/parking lot -- not so nice.

Bushkin River State Recreation Site, Kodiak, Page 415

7/29/06 Reader Update - On to Bushkin River where we stayed the remainder of the week and loved it!  The sites were secluded, the park wonderful, the price inexpensive.  One change from your information -- there is no longer a dump station there.
