Location: KY | Yes....I can accomodate several rigs at my place with water hook ups. Electric may be possible but a better bet would be to use a generator. I have 2 gen sets that I will make available. My farm is about 5 miles from the Mercer fire station. PM me if you would like to camp. I also have very nice riding available from my place. |
