Carrollwoods RV Park and Vineyard, Guideway, NC


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 night and at most was only an inch or two deep. The next week we had an ice storm that put down about a half inch of ice. Crazy weather all over this year for sure.

A trip into Tabor City to see the town did not take long as it is small. It was interesting how the train track split the downtown, the track was probably there before the two lane highway was built. While there we took a chance on the local Chinese restaurant, that was a one time deal as the food was not good.

There is a local Italian food distributor that opens a small store (Da Vinci’s  https://www.davincifoodsretail.com/ ) on Thursday and Friday. They have authentic breads, pastas, sweets, meats, sauces and much more. We will be back. The almond biscotti was awesome as was everything else we got. After shopping at DaVinci’s we went into Calabash to a local coffee shop (Coffee Cottage) as we like trying small local shops. The coffee was really good.

We took a short trip to Wilmington so we could go to a Sam’s Club for a few things. It was an interesting trip as we went through an older upper scale neighborhood and enjoyed seeing the older homes.

Both of us needed a haircut. We went to Great Clips in Ocean Isle. Never again.

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

Image
 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.
