EERIE PLACE

April 28-30, 2026

Ever been to a place and the hairs on your body start to stand on end? River Dunes Marina felt like a town that had been abandoned with everyone leaving their place in perfect order. All of the houses had neatly trimmed landscaping, the pool had water and looked inviting, the marina had boats, but there was no one around. Okay, there actually were a few folks around, but the place was just creepy. There was another looper family that came in on April 29 and they said the same thing. The restaurant was closed the two nights we were there and even the swimming pool had a “closed” sign on it, though the looper kids did go in. I biked about 10 miles around the area and there were a lot of vacant lots that hadn’t been built on. When you add in how frustrating it was to get into and out of this marina due to the crab pots, I would not go back.
