Chapparal Campground 2013

We arrived at Chapparal Campground on April 8th.  The weather was cold and snow was predicted.  This was not what we had expected for Spring weather.  However, we are in WI, and anything goes when it comes to the weather.  We literally had to dig around looking for our heaviest, warmest clothing.  The heater was running non-stop to keep it half-way warm in the RV.  We were so excited to see Dennis and Dianne, owners of the Chapparal.  They had talked to Kirk earlier in the past month or so to see if we would be staying in this area as we would be their hosts, but we just couldn't commit at the time as I didn't know where my next assignment would be.  So, they hired another couple (Scott and Sue) to be their hosts.  When I got my assignment in Elroy (which started 4/10), we knew we'd be staying at the Chapparal.  It was too late to be hosts, but they found work around the campground for Kirk (he loves to keep busy), and we are now their 2nd set of hosts.   Kirk works all day around the campground with Ronnie and Dennis, and at night we take firewood around to the campers, and do anything else that may arise.  Of all the places we have been so far, this campground is one of the most spacious and beautiful.
