Re: Holiday Travel Park Emerald Isle NC
Just back from Emerald Isle. First, I must say that the campground is kinda difficult to figure out just where to enter. No signs visible. Had to turn around & did find the office. Lady told us to "stay straight ahead". Again we had to turn around after missing a right turn that had a 2' x 3' foot very difficult to see sign. Getting into the campground is very tight. Many hills (not expected since we are next to the beach). Seemed more like we were in the piedmont part of NC. Campground nickels and dimes on everything. $5/night for each dog. $5/night fir 50 amp service. $5 ffor bathroom keys. $2/ night cable. Internet was $16 for 3 days. If we were to stay at July 4th it would be somewhere around $122/night. That is not going to happen. Clean & nice campground. Did not really have the chance to get out & explore. Might go back...late September but not before. Rather stay at Jellystone in Tabor City NC.434Views0likes0CommentsHoliday Travel Park Emerald Isle NC
We live about 1.5 hours away but have never stayed at this campground. $110 a night in the summer is one reason. Another is we really don't think there is a lot to do or see. We are going this weekend & we are getting pretty excited. First, it will be our maiden voyage on our new camper. Second, it is somewhere we have never stayed. Finally, my parents & a friends will be coming as we'll. Any input good or bad is welcome. I see there is a go-cart race track nearby. What else? Fort Macon. Nc aquarium. Thanks.2.9KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Did I make a mistake in Financing? How long do you finance?

To me this is more important than $ as long as you can cover the basics of living. I am not perfect and probably can do better with our finances but I have maybe 4 years til all kids are out of the house and I want to enjoy it.... I agree, sort of. Making memories with family is a fantastic use of an RV. However, great memories can be made in a $1,000 RV just as well as a $40,000 RV. Lots of seasonal campgrounds have cheap RVs sitting there for sale and ready to use. The OP could take the hit now, get out from under a 15 year sentence and buy a cheap unit. All RV debt could be paid within one year and finances could then be used on other debt. It wouldn't change the camping experience at all for the family. I agree with both of you. All depends on what a person wants and can affords. Most important is the memories no matter if you are in a tent or camper or whatever.399Views0likes0Comments
