Tugaloo State Park keeps on giving

Spent another 3 nights at Tugaloo State Park.  It is our happy place.  Our campsite was extraordinary.  Beautiful sunrise each morning and the weather was perfect camping on the lake weather.  There is so much to do at this park or just relax watching the boats go by.

Camping in Yellowstone at Bridge Bay Campround

Covid restrictions were tight in August of 2020 so not many of the Yellowstone campgrounds were open.  We were lucky to get a space that someone had cancelled on.  Don't give up until your last day to check for availability as there are always cancellations.  We arrived in the evening after spending a magnificent day exploring Yellowstone.  Such a treasure that has been gifted to the American people.  Campgound itself was pretty basic but the surrounding area was lovely.  Lots of nice hiking and people watching as campers enjoyed the lake and the starry sky at night.

Tongue River is a gateway into Montana

Tongue River Reservoir State Park was our last stop before arriving at our destination in Helena, MT.  Quiet park not far from the interstate surrounded by a wonderful lake.  Facilities were very clean and the area is quite flat.  No problem leveling RV.  Did not use any of the facilities so I cannot comment.  However, watching the boats come in at sunset was very relaxing.  The Montana landscape and how it changes colors as the sun sets was beautiful.

Beautiful park over-looking the Missouri River.

We only stay overnight and arrived late.  We thought we had a site on the river but the site map is a little deceiving as the campground is a good, long hike to the river.  Sites are very private, facilities are clean and it is super quiet.

Great campsite at West Bend Recreation Area

West Bend is a really lovely campground.  We only spent one night there so we did not get to enjoy the beautiful lake and surrounding area.  Our campsite was great as it was right on the lake and we could wade in and swim if we liked.  Kids were everywhere having fun on the lake, on the playground and riding bikes. Facilities were clean and lots of space between campsites.  We would go back and hopefully spend more time there.

Boyd Lake State Park

We stayed at Boyd Lake State Park for one night as we were returning home after visiting in Montana.  This park is convenient to Fort Collins so every need can be met.  It is a pretty park located in a residential area surrounded by the lake.  The bathrooms were nice and the sites were clean.  We did not have a good site location as it was a last minute reservation.  Lots to do there and campers were having a good time swimming, boating, fishing and bicycling.  There were mountain fires at the time we were there so it was smokie. We were is site #82 and I don't recommend it.  No privacy and no shade.  The park is very close to an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.

If traveling through Kentucky Ken Lake State Park is a good place to stop

We were on a cross-country trip headed back to Georgia.  This was our last night before arriving home.  The camping space we were assigned was wonderful, right on the water with a cute little deck attached.  Unfortunately, our neighbor had taken the 30 AMP hook-up and we did not have a 50 AMP line so we had to move away from the water.  No big deal as we were only there for the night. The spaces were a nice distance apart.  This is a very old campground so it does need some TLC.  The bathroom was clean but very old.  We did not get to explore that park at all but it was on a beautiful lake and a lot of campers were having fun.

Lake fun at Tugaloo State Park

We have camped at Tugaloo State Park in Georgia on many occasions. It is literally around the corner from our home but we love to take a break and camp at this gem.  Most spaces are on Lake Hartwell.  They are clean and not too close together.  The camp director puts on many fun activities for the kids on the weekends from scavenger hunts to learning about the many animals that call this park home.  You have your choice of sunrise or sunset views.

Siesta Key Florida Camping at its best

If you want to be steps from the beach and all that Siesta Key has to offer Turtle Beach State Park is for you.  Turtle Beach is a very small campground which is great if you don't like a crowd.  The sites are really close together but we were there to enjoy the beach with our grandsons so it did not bother us.  There is so much to do or do nothing and just relax beachside.  We love to explore so having a free trolley that stops close by the entrance was a huge plus.  Rentals are available across the street for water fun.  If you don't feel like cooking there are two fun restaurants  across from the entrance that offer seafood and other fare.  Turtles roamed the area and each night the seabirds put on a show.  Very hard to get a space here so plan far ahead.

Mistletoe State Park is a jewel in Georgia

We spent a couple of nights in Mistletoe State Park in Georgia while we investigated my husband's ancestry.  This park is truly beautiful. As you enter and drive through the park you are surrounded by virgin forest and arrive at beautiful Lake Thurmond.  Our campsite was the best we have ever had anywhere.  Surrounded on 3 sides by the lake we woke to the sunrise and retired to a serene sunset each night.  Those we met in the area were so helpful and kind.  We will be back.

Tongue River Reservoir State Park Welcome to Montana

We stayed at Tongue River State Park on our way to Helena, MT.  Nice clean park with lots of room between sites.  Beautiful sunset and lovely lake surrounding campsites.

F.D. Roosevelt State Park a natural historical beauty.

This campground offers it all. Set in F.D. Roosevelt State Park you are surrounded by forest, lakes, streams, rock formations and campsites are quiet and private.  We stayed in site #114 directly on the lake.  The state reconfigured some of the sites along the lake and site #114 is no longer on a slope.  Very level space with water, electric and sewer.  Close to a very clean restroom, playground, rental boat ramp and so much more.  Everything a family could want to spend a few days in nature.  Lots to do in the area - Callaway Gardens, Pine Mountain, city of Columbus, Chattahoochee River, Little White House, etc.  Highly recommend this jewel in Georgia.
