Walnut Ridge CG - New Castle, IN

This is a beautiful well manicured CG out in the IN countryside. The owners live across the street from the CG entrance. The CG does not have provisions for dumping sewer or gray water at your site. We stayed a week and I had to use our blue boy one time. A beautiful country golf course a few miles away and great family restaurants in New Castle.

Our site was a pull thru with W&E (50A) and a concrete slab. We had clear sky’s for our dish antenna.

Rancho Verde RV Park - Camp Verde, AZ

When the winter months start to turn into spring in Arizona the northern ’Snowbirds” get antsy and start north leaving a lot of really nice RV Parks nearly empty. For us it was just time to move to a higher elevation from our winter stop in Yuma and stay another month in an area loaded with sights to behold for the first time.

Our traveling companions were with us on this stop at Camp Verde. We had done our home work well. The Rancho Verde RV Park was an outstanding base camp for our numerous side trips in the are. Way off the major highways and roads it presented a quiet family atmosphere. The owners/managers - that live on the grounds - were gracious hosts at all times during our month long stay.

The park offers two levels for parking. The lower one has a bubbling stream thru it. The upper level is much easier to park in and get satellite TV reception so we stayed there. We also got to park side by side there.

The area is about 3200 feet above sea level and did not give us any problems. Trivia: Worlds largest Kokopelli is there.

Timberland Acres RV Park - Trenton, ME

There are a number of campground options when parking near the attractions near Bar Harbor, Maine. The one we used last time there was the Timberland Acres RV Park. Like almost all of the CGs up in that part of the country it’s very family oriented with amenities to fit family needs.

Out in the back section where we parked, the pull thrus are huge, level and roomy. We got a very generous military discount there making it just that much more desirable for us. It was our home base for two weeks. Not mentioned in the CG web page is the fact that the Walmart is less than a mile away and free parking for the free shuttles to Bar Harbor and Arcadia National Park are just a short distance down the road. Also on the same road is the - must go to - Trenton Bridge Lobster Pound.

For the first day of our stay we had most of the back section to ourselves. Then they started showing up. Hitchhikers, we were surrounded by them. Over the next few days more than 40 of them showed up. They even had a Hitchhiker rep traveling with them. They were all part of a large Hitchhiker club from Texas and were staging up for a caravan tour of New Brunswick & Nova Scotia.

Safe Harbor RV Park - Riverside, AL

Traveling I20 in AL and looking for an overnighter site? This is the place. Pull-in, park, walk to the drop box and pay for your site. All sites are FHU (30 & 50 amps) The CATV is basic and all channels (about 20) are clear. We always get in there early, so I do some fishing. Never got a big one but always catch something. Never have tried to stay there during a NASCAR racing weekend but have asked and all say it’s always full-up all week.

I’m showing pictures of two parking sites we have used. After that I used the time for fishing. Linda likes to get a wash started and read a book until supper time. We use 50 amps and wash every day on the road. Once you get used to the small combo washer/dryer it’s easy just as long as you keep-up.

Twin Rivers Campground - Nashville, TN

When visiting Nashville your campground selection is going to be very dependant on the activities you are there to enjoy. On this particular trip our sights were set on visiting the Bass Pro Shops, the Grand Ole Opry and taking the boat ride in the Gaylord Opryland Hotel.

Our RV CG choice, Twin River’s Campground, was situated close to our visiting destinations. The park office is a terrific place to get discounted tour tickets to area locations/attractions with pick-up and delivery right in front of the office. Right next door to the RV Park office is a dinner buffet restaurant with free shows and dancing on the weekends.

The CG itself has very level sites with each having average sized sites and easy to get in and out of. We had a FHU and set up our own TV dish connection. The park was well kept with a wonderfully helpful staff. And, they always had a good pot of coffee ready.

T-Ricks RV Park - Hazen, AR

 
Over the years we have often traveled I40 and always have our eyes pealed for quick easy places to spend a night at an economical price. T-Ricks at exit 193 fit’s the bill. It’s a fueling stop with a store and a smallish - well laid out - RV park with FHU service. Stop at the store and pay the site fee and then go across the street and pick-out a site. We got there in the early afternoon and there was no one parked there. By bed time it was three quarters full.

They have diesel and gas there so in the morning we topped the truck off and got some of their fresh breakfast sandwiches and hit the road all refreshed.

Short Stay Navy Outdoor Recreation Area

Short Stay belongs to the Charleston, SC Navy Weapons Station. It’s actual location is north of Moncks Corner, SC a few miles off US-52. It is a gated facility with around the clock security. This is a large complex with just about any type of recreational equipment on hand for immediate check-out by authorized users. There is a large well stocked CG store. They also have a wide selection of fishing equipment for sale and live bait.

Even though I have an uncle and five first cousins in the immediate area we have only stayed here once. For a long stay it’s just too far from town and would require manually dumping our gray & black tanks. For a long weekend of just camping and doing some fishing it’s great.

We had a very large corner site up under the trees and away from most of the nightly activities.
