Home in Coastal Georgia

Home in Coastal Georgia

When we are wandering in our RV, home is wherever the fifth wheel is parked. Our real home in coastal Georgia is surrounded by salt marsh, creeks, rivers, palm trees, palmettos, and Spanish Moss draped live oak trees. It’s where I’ve lived for over half my life and where we raised our children.

We Love Waterfront Camping

Our favorite places to camp are the campgrounds with a view. There’s nothing like waking up with a view outside the RV or sitting outside in the evening enjoying the scenery around us. We’ve enjoyed campgrounds with views of spectacular mountains, glaciers, forests, and all kinds of water.

For us, the best camping is beside a river, mountain stream, lake, or any body of water for that matter.

We enjoy watching the different water craft go by.

Sometimes we see wildlife.

Blondie loves it when she gets a chance to go swimming.

We love watching the sun rise and set over the water.
