Red Bay Acres, Red Bay, AL

 Red Bay is the home of Tiffin Motorhomes. We stopped here for two nights (August 15 and 16) on our way to get our new RV (our new home). Red Bay Acres has concrete pads, picnic tables and a nice catch & release pond. They have a restaurant onsite, it was closed for renovations while we were there.  Most of the other parks are basically gravel lots with full hook ups (water, power and sewer). This is not a dig on those other places as they are very affordable for those that are here to get their RV serviced. Some of the parks are even self serve.

When we arrived, it was pouring rain. So we waited for the rain to slack up before going to our site and getting settled. While waiting we had a nice chat with our daughter and son-in-law.

We drove around Red Bay getting a feel for the area and checking out the Tiffin Motorhome facilities. We went in a local grocery store, a Piggly Wiggly. We have not been in one in a very long time.

Twin Lakes RV Resort, Cumming, GA

Image
 We overnighted on the way here at GSP RV park near Greer, SC, not much to write about. We picked Twin Lakes because of the proximity to Cheryl’s mom in Canton, GA. We stayed here from October 23 - November 5. The site we were in was basically a spot on a gravel parking lot. Cheryl’s mom did not know we were coming for a visit, so we got up Sunday morning and headed to Canton (about a 25 minute drive). Once we got to Canton we stopped and got donuts and Starbuck’s to take to Mom’s.  We sure did surprise her. When she opened the door you could tell she recognized us, but she did not understand why she was seeing us. It was a happy surprise. We had a really nice visit.  Greg went and got BBQ as Cheryl’s sister Belinda and her partner Michelle joined us. We brought Mom back to the RV, to see our home. She had not been in an RV as large as ours. It was not small like she was thinking. Greg went and got some Chinese takeout for us and it was ok. We are still looking for some g...

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...

Midway RV Park, Statesville, NC

 On our way to Princeton, WV for our medical appointments we stopped over at Midway RV Park for a few days. It was a nice park, the arrangement of the sites was a little strange. But it worked out. The park had a pool, a mini golf and big pillow type bouncing thing for the kids. So, this would be a fun place for kids in the summer. They had a nice little lake that was catch & release. Greg enjoyed the fishing.
