Happy Holiday RV Resort, Rapid City SD

Image
 July 14 - July 25 We had originally planned to spend two weeks at the FamCamp on Ellsworth AFB, but found this campground that was a better choice for seeing the sights without as much back and forth. This is an interesting park, we are wall to wall in our space. Our tow is parked beside us in the grass, ok'd by owners. There is a covered picnic shelter with two tables in between us and another site. Kind of unusual for us but not a problem either. Not all spaces have the covered picnic area. The trip to our site was very tight, the tree limbs rubbed the top of the coach and we went very slow because of the tightness. Not our favorite park but we've been at worse. We did use the laundry facilities so it wouldn't heat up our coach. There is a pool but we didn't use it. We had several extremely hot days (107F) and the breakers for our section tripped several times. The park is scheduled to have the electrical distribution  on this row repaired by an electrician. We turne...

Sleepy Hollow Campground, Wall, SD

Image
 We arrived in Wall on June 30 for a two week visit. The campground is adequate, walking distance to downtown Wall with all the shopping you wish. We didn't use any of the facilities at the park. Be aware that you are next to the railroad tracks. Trains were intermittent but when they came through at night, you knew it by the long whistles. We went to Wall Drugs for breakfast and were disappointed, the eggs and sausage were over cooked and the 5cent coffee was like water. The dough nuts on the other hand were really good.  All the food prices are high but that seems to be the case everywhere. We were close to the Badlands and visited several different times.  The best adventure was our sunset drive on the ridge road loop. We saw several singular bison, lots of prairie dogs at Prairie Dog Town. As we continued we came upon a herd of bison and calves. This herd seemed to be mostly cows with their calves, at least 50. We were able to sit in the car and watch them graze, the ...

Carrollwoods RV Park and Vineyard, Guideway, NC

Image
We arrived at Carrollwoods on December 24, 2021, we stayed for a nice and peaceful month. Carrollwoods is a veteran owned park and family run. It was super quiet most of the time. Our site was at the end of a row which gave us a little more room that made it nice for sitting outside.  It is out in the county away from the hustle and bustle of the beach cities like North Myrtle Beach. The drive into places to shop or eat was 20-30 minutes depending on where you were going. We found a seafood market (Platt’s https://www.boulineaus.com/platts-seafood/ ) in nearby North Myrtle Beach. They have fresh seafood and will cook it for a small fee. They have a lunch & dinner menu.  The fried oyster basket had the best fried oysters we have ever had. The owners of Platt’s own a number of other stores including an IGA grocery store that is definitely worth the visit. While at Carrollwoods we experienced a rain storm that turned our site into a small lake. But, the water went away over n...
