We happened into Fountainebleau SP by chance. Having booked a weeklong stay as our first extend stop after moving into our bus conversion full time #ripplebus

We arrived a week early. Doh!

But the staff and rangers had our backs. Shifting sites and securing us places to stay until our actual reservation date arrived. Brittney was fantastic help.

And the park?! Hard hit by Hurricane Ida it was in recovery mode but still peaceful, majestic and perfect Deep South.

We’ll be back.

Oh, yeah, and the locales that came there for Thanksgiving were amazing. Even though we looked like Yankees—Iowa plates—we were invited to everyone’s grill outs and turkey fry’s.

Great T-mobile and Verizon—both 5G.

If your on water and electric assume you’ll have very close neighbors. If you go for the no service sites you’ll feel very alone.

Be sure to walk the pier and beach in the dead of night.

Amazing humans in Louisiana.

There used to be a lake, that was an idea our forebears had. Times were good and even more people showed up. Three generations later and the lake is dry, the river over-tapped, and the river recharging system stressed to breaking.

This place is truly sublime; beauty and fright side-by-side.

I spent my first Crimbus (Xmas for any consumers out there and Christmas for all ya ‘livers!) living in a converted bus at this campground. It was perfect.
