Campgrounds October 2024 - May 2025

This is becoming our annual first one-night stopover. The casino is large, with several restaurants. They have moved the designated parking for trucks and RV 's since last year and the new location has more trucks and more noise.

A Harvest Host one night stopover where we met up with our 2024-25 traveling partners. The Peculiar Winery off Peculiar Way in Peculiar, MO is not peculiar at all - Just a little bit different. 

We were 2 of 3 campers in Scott & Becky's yard. The boys are all high school buddies and had a great time hanging out together again.

Sites A20 & A21. This is our 3rd time at this campground. Chuck and Brian really enjoyed their fishing opportunities and loaded up on Black Bass and Sand Bass. Our daily morning walks included the sights of long-horn cattle and horses.

Sites 23 & 25 -  Gulpha Gorge is a beautiful campground with full hookups located in Hot Springs National Park. They are a bit tight but we and our travel partners’ 45’ 5th wheel fit into our sites with a little room left to spare for our trucks.  These sites back up to Gulpha Creek. 

A Harvest Host one night stopover. Fortress Beerworks is now 11 Below Brewing Company. It's a very nice, open-air building tucked into a northern suburb of Houston, TX. It has a good variety of beer and a pizza food truck on-site.

Sites C111 & C112 - These sites have a lot of space between them, however there is a walkway for others to access the beach. We parked the opposite way of the norm so that we basically had "buddy" sites.

We got to camp right on the beach for one night. It was going to be three nights but strong winds were coming in so we moved into On The Beach RV Resort.

A Harvest Host one night stopover. Pine Tree Lodge is a fabulous place to spend the night. The sites were perfectly level. It was too cold to see the alligators.

Sites C1062 & C1063 - This is a huge state park and we had very spacious sites. It was about a 20 min drive to the French Quarter. Our camper area had a funky smell, I'd guess from all the moisture.  It was a swampy area.

Sites 369 & 371 - We thought the last state parks were huge... this one is massive! Not only is there over 400 campsites, there are multiple lakes, miles and miles of biking/walking trails, a nature center, and so on and so on!

Sites 6 & 7 - This was a great find for the guys to fish. Two days at 6AM with The Crappie Kidd, catching the largest crappies they've ever found!

Sites 39 & 40 - This is a great location for visiting St. Augustine.

Free camping in Florida? Yes! This is part of the South Florida Water Management District and requires you to apply for a Special Use License. Near Lake Okeechobee, there is both an equestrian and non-equestrian campground. Maximum stay is 8 days.

Sites 40 & 41 - If you like watching iguanas, this is the place for you!

Schnebly Redland's Winery was a Harvest Host one night stopover. The southernmost winery in the US and it's absolutely stunning!

45' campers are a bit large for the sites at Long Pine Key Campground. We had to park sideways in a back-in site.

Sites 525, 526 - We did a month-long stay here to visit family and friends. It's close to Tarpon Springs (the sponge capital of the world) and an hour to Clearwater beach to the south and Crystal River to the north. The no-see-ums were ferocious
