I camp in a travel trailer, and have done 2 road trips so far with the hubby. First trip was Savannah>St. Augustine>Charleston. We were short on choice in Savannah and stuck with a KOA sandwiched between Hwy 17 and 95. It… was a safe place to park and the showers were decent, I’ll give it that. The campground in St Augustine was out on the barrier islands and just a whole old Florida vibe (North Beach Camp Resort). I loved the privacy between spots, and the 2 restaurants within waking distance. Not cheap, and not normally our thing, but it was our anniversary. On our way back north we stopped in Charleston at a city park that had a campground (James Island County Park) . It was perfect y’all. Affordable, in/out privileges with a gate code after hours, a lake and a water park on site, wooded campsites with full hookups, and didn’t feel crowded even though it was relatively full.

Our second road trip was to a music festival that took us through West Virginia. We stayed in a couple of state parks passing through, and I definitely want to go back in the fall. WV just has beautiful parks, and I got a good dose of “felt like home” even though I’m from southwestern VA.

Being on the east coast, I wish we had more prevalent places to boondock such as BLM land. Sure we’ve got logging roads in National Forests, but there is also a lot of privately owned property peppered through the forests I’m familiar with, and I’m nervous I’m going to piss someone off by trespassing.

So where all have you been this season? Hit me with ideas!

    I ventured out to Hayes Lake last weekend, and it rained on me. Skeeters tore me apart after.

      I highly recommend the portable Thermacell devices. As long as the wind is minimal, they work well…
