Camping World Campground at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Got here yesterday for the CocaCola 600.

That's a fancy spot for a track campground. I was more used to a piece of grass or gravel in the middle of a field.

While I’ve given up the thought that my husband is going to want to “take up” camping in retirement, from time to time I scroll through the camping forum. I came across your photo a few days ago and was thinking about it again last night so just wanted you to know how much I’ve enjoyed looking at it. Key West seems like the perfect place to spend time.

I hope the two of you have many wonderful trips together.

Thank you, H2O.

We aren't retired yet, but are fortunate to either have plenty of benefit time off (me) or can work anywhere (DW) and we love to travel seeing new things. We started
"camping" because it was the cheapest way to travel. That has evolved into traveling comfortably and we really enjoy "camping". Me more so than DW, but she still has a perception that RV'ing is cheaper than flying/driving and staying in a hotel.

Key West is an amazing place to visit. It is a unique and beautiful place that seems to take your cares away. Even if you don't "camp", definitely try to spend some time there.

Friends of ours are retired and have spent the last 14 years volunteering at national and state parks. Last year they bought a house in Vermont but we just got word that they’re heading to South Dakota so I guess being home bound didn’t stick.

I try to tell myself that we’d be broke if my husband enjoyed traveling as much as I do. Nice when couples are fairly compatible about traveling. We visited Key West for five too short days with Road Scholar — and saw a Disney ship in port.

Happy trails!

Family brought their campers for some camping in our back field. Enjoying the camp fire and sunset.

Not a fun site to back into. Tree on the left not visible due to angle and the pad is curved. We did it. Well me by myself. Kido couldn't be bothered with helping. Lol. The place is a blast though. Seasore camping resort in cape may NJ. We go every year.

July 4th week at the Tourist Campground in Munising Michigan. Were camped on lake Superior. We had a veiw of the Lake where as my sister's camp site was on the Lake giving us front row to some beautiful sunsets.

We had one of our sons and 2 grandkids with us and made for a fun week.

Ok, it's slow at work, I'm bored and I looked through here and thought I'd throw in a couple more pictures from some of our sites. I don't think I've posted them before. If I have, sorry.
This was at Gettysburg Campground in PA. Our shakedown trip 2014.



June 2014 Fredericksburg KOA, Fredericksburg VA. Not our best trip. First there was absolutely no cell service.. None. Next, kids were playing baseball in the driveway. The ball hitting several vehicles. Parents did nothing. There was a huge open field less than 100yrds where they were at where they could play unobstructed and in the open without issue. At the time the park was kind of run down and needed some TLC.


July 2016, Candy Hill Campground, Winchester VA. This was a really nice campground. It had a little age on it, but the owners who lived on site were investing money into the place to make it really nice. The pool had just been refurbished. They had upgraded their power plant. They had a bus that ran into town to the ice cream parlor as well as other locations. Very nice place I'd give 4 stars. The site we ended up on was a premium site. There were only a couple of them in the campground and it was the only unoccupied site in the place. We were ok with it but really didn't need the included patio furniture and grill though it was very nice, especially if you were spending a week or so there.

So these I probably have posted before, but I'll do it again as these used to be our go to stopovers on the way north and south from MD to FL before we moved to Florida for good. Maybe they're worth looking at by the folks traveling up and down 95 on the east coast as stopovers for campers. I'm posting in southbound order but we just reversed it on the way back.
The first one is Americamps RV resort. Right off of 95. I give this place 5 stars. The site we always stay on is exactly what we look for when we stay somewhere. We started using this place when my daughter was going to VCU in Richmond. It was about 3 hours from our house and made a nice base of operations when we went to visit her. The staff is really friendly and amazing. The pool is nice. They have waffle breakfast as well as ice cream and other small events. No restaurant but there are a lot of places within a short driving distance.



Our next stopping point heading south is Fayetteville RV resort. I'd give this a 4 star rating based on what I've seen while we were there. Another easy on and off 95. Seems like we always get in after dark. No idea why that is, it just is! They always have our late arrival paperwork in the box when we get in. Anyway, lots of nice long pull through sites. We don't ever unhook. Everything is gravel. There are some premium sites with furniture on a concrete paved patio. There's a couple of pools there and they have the standard waffle breakfast. There's activities but we've never participated. Pretty much in and out for us. The only complaint I have is the last two times we've stayed there the breaker on the power pole has popped. It was the middle of summer both times and I'm pretty sure everybody in the place had full AC going. I know we did. I don't know if the issue has been resolved since the last time we were there- July 2020 but my advice is to make sure you have a good quality EMS attached, either hard wired on board or attached in line.
A couple of pictures of this campground.
My wife took this as we were leaving. I like it because it looks like a postcard the resort might send out.


My lovely wife demonstrating one of the paved patio sites. There's a couple of more chairs and a grill not in the picture.


Pulling out of the site in the morning.


Last stop on 95 before Florida is Coastal Georgia RV resort. Pretty nice place but the roads are tight. We try for an end site so you can just drive straight out onto the main road. If you have a big rig with a tow the whole place can be tight. Even the exit. Nice little lake, a pavilion, laundry and a small but nice pool.


This was several years ago (2014) but we were there in 2020 and the place hadn't changed. What you can't see in this picture is how close the nose is to the road.

The site from behind. Tight but only one tire on the grass.


From here, around 4 hours or less to Disney and another 30 minutes or so home for us depending on I-4 traffic... Hahahaha! Could be hours!

Glad we left for this

@team bradfield Looks like Margaritaville. That's about 10 minutes from my house. Be prepared though, weather is going to be bad here too.

At Lake Louisa State Park #54 the night before our arrival at the Fort last week.

Holland State Park on Lake Michigan. Went over Mother's day weekend. Took in part of the tulip festival.
Just so you know not a bad son on mothers day as 87 year old mom had her camper parked right next door. All my siblings were here as well so nice family camp out.

Channel Lakes State Park in North East Indiana this weekend. Nice large sites. was 95 out but some rootbeer floats took the edge off

Harrison Bay SP near Chattanooga.

I realized this page contains quite a few pics from last year's DIS Meet, but here are pics from this past weekend with our very own @garneska and her DH, Bert.

Site A27





Whisky, the water dog...almost. This was her first foray into the water. She wasn't sure, but finally discovered it was cooler than standing on shore.



We took Ed's advice and rode the Tennessee Valley Railway.

We also took the drive up to Point Park, a national park service park on Lookout Mountain. Lots of Civil War history here.



Lastly, our 2024 DIS Meet at HBSP.

Sites A27 and A28. Nice shade, big enough for both of us, close to the water and wildlife.



Count the deer.
