OVERVIEW:
This is a new park, so they are running rate specials right to now to help build business. They gave us the Passport American discount (50% off) for the full 14 day stay.
It is a nice park with a gated entrance. That is a nice feature, but the gate is too close to the road and you have to leave your RV out on the road and walk to the key pad to open the gate. There are a couple of building when you come in that aren't clearly marked, so we were unsure of where to go. We had to end up calling from the parking lot.
The spots are nice with very level concrete pads. The hookups are, obviously, brand new and very nice. We noticed how good the electric connection was when we ran our Ninja Foodi and toaster. We had burnt toast for the first couple of mornings until we realized what was happening and turned down the toaster. Each spot is very nicely landscaped with very bright lighting at night. That could be a positive or a negative depending on what you prefer.

Unfortunately, there isn't very much to do without driving an hour or even two. They list some items to do locally on their website, but we didn't see much around of interest. Also, if you drive a little too far past the small downtown, you will find yourself in a not so good area.
The facilities are very clean and again, brand new. The laundry is free, if you can believe that! So that was a big bonus for us.
With it being November and getting dark so early, it was a big bummer not being able to have a campfire. We were kind of stuck inside at night because there was really nothing to do.
We did get a full signal with T-Moble and the CG WiFi was pretty good, so we were able to stream movies and show without a problem. We also got a few local channels with our antenna.
The pros and cons kind of balance each other out a bit so far, BUT one of the big negatives of this place was the train that ran right next to the park, and I mean right next to it. Not too big of a deal if it only came by a few times a day. This one came by at least a dozen times a day AND night. It was almost non-stop.
Overall, this is a nice park, but we probably would not stay her again. For the price (when it goes back to normal), it isn't worth being so far away from any attractions plus the train and not much of anything to do within the park or close to by, it just wasn't a good fit for us.
We did love the places we saw while we were staying here, but again, we had to drive at least an hour to get to each place.

How many times have you gone on an RV or camping trip and spent most of your time preparing and cleaning up after meals? I’ve been there too and while I have no problem thinking about food, I don’t want to spend my entire vacation preparing meals. I do a lot of cooking in our RV and learned a trick or two when it comes to preparing meals in a tiny kitchen. A few things I keep in mind when meal planning while RVing in remote areas are, keep it simple, the Instant Pot is my best friend, foil packet meals are also a huge help and not to plan any meals with exotic ingredients. Why? Because sometimes you find yourself in the mountains, shopping at an itty bitty grocery store and there’s a good chance they won’t have chia seeds or if they do, they will be super expensive. With that being said here are 30 easy RV meals that I hope will help you with your meal planning. And some of these might even work well as camping meals too.
We spent a little time in northern Alabama this past spring. We were totally shocked at some of the cool things we got to see while we were there. I can't wait to go back and visit again.
Our visits to some of Florida's beautiful springs
Incorporated in 1925, the city of Jupiter is in northern Palm Beach County, with just under 65,000 residents. Ranked as one of the country’s most pleasant and livable coastal towns by a well-known travel magazine, it’s full of beautiful beaches, cultural and natural attractions.
Savannah is one of my favorite cities, so far. I spent one afternoon there a few years ago, just on a whim, driving home from Florida. Ever since then, I have dreamed of the day I could go back and spend a little more time exploring. We were booked in Savannah for 7 days over Christmas. The weather was a little chilly and rainy, but we got 3 really nice days to get out and about and see as much as we could. On a side note, we stayed at a really nice RV park called Creekfire Motor Coach Resort. I wish I would have remembered to take picture of our spot and all the amenities, but of course, I thought about that as we were driving down the road leaving. It was a little more spacious than a normal RV parks, and there were a ton of amenities from tennis courts to large lawn chess set to a heated, winding pool and hot tub. The "office" was more like a lodge and was very inviting and cozy. We would definitely stay there again. We were also able to use our Passport America discount to make this stop pretty affordable. Forsyth Park On our first day out, we headed to Forsyth Park. We strolled through the 30 acre park located in the historic district of Savannah. It has a nice sized cafe with a large outdoor dining area, a few tennis courts, spacious open grassy area and a large play area for kids. I was excited to see the large fountain, added to the north end of the park in 1858. It was a little crowded with people taking pictures, but I was able to snap a couple pictures of my own without a bunch of people in them. There are also a couple of monuments in the park as well, The Confederate Monument and the Spanish-American War Memorial. The history in this area is just amazing.
Travel and vacations can get expensive. When you are in a new area, you want to see and do everything so you can experience every little thing the town has to offer. As we all know, that can add up quickly. I always start out by searching for the things we can do and experience in each area that are free. If we can fill up time with cool stuff to do and see that doesn't cost us anything, then we can really pick and choose what we want to spend our money on. Also, if you get to know the area a little better by experiencing the free stuff, you might run across things to do that you weren't even aware of. We had very limited time in Charleston, unfortunately, so we had one day to pack in as much as we could see. Here is our free tour of the charming city.....
We spent about two weeks on the eastern side of South Carolina and most of our adventures revolved around the beach, or close to it. Shocking, I know!
As we quickly learned, good trip planning can make moving day relaxing and enjoyable or totally stressful. Driving a large RV is already a little more mentally stressful than a car, so you sure don't want to add to it by having issues with your route. These tools help us with our budget, route planning, fuel stops and overnight stays.
