Re: Campgrounds in the northwest part of North Carolina
Checked out Mama Gerties and it looks great! Love the pictures and it is close enough for a weekend visit. It will mostly be DH, myself and our DD, is she is not working. We would like to be less than 2 to 3 hours from Johnson City/Kingsport, TN. DH's employer is permanently shutting it's doors next week and we are going to use this time to check out new places to live and work. And we thought that staying at campgrounds would be our best option.. As far as amenities goes, we don't need a pool or playground, no grandbabies on these trips. Level lot with water and electric are the most important. WIFI would be awesome but not a necessity. We don't use cable at home and wouldn't use it camping. We both love small towns and tend to shy away from touristy places. We visited Maggie Valley Ghost Town In the Sky a couple years ago and liked it. May have to check out the RV Resort there.583Views0likes0CommentsCampgrounds in the northwest part of North Carolina
DH and I have a 26.1 Wildwood X-Lite that we just bought this spring. Our TV is a 2005 Toyota Tundra double cab with a full-sized bed(that is all I know about his truck). What are some nice campgrounds in the western part of North Carolina? We live in northeast Tennessee. DH and I are considering moving to the Carolina's and would like to spend a weekend or two in the area. That way we could combine a job/home search and camping get-a-way.3.5KViews0likes16CommentsRe: traveling with cats
We have 3 cats and have never taken them camping with us. I always wanted to know if others cat owners took their cats with them. Now I know!! LOL!! We seldom go far from home and always check on the cats every day or two. I would be heart broken if they got out of the TT and something happened to them. All 3 have been indoor only since they were tiny kittens. I am amazed at all those who have litter boxes in their tow vehicles. DH is fond of the cats, especially our little kitten, but there is no way he would ever let me put a litter box in his truck. Our kitties have only been in a vehicle to go to the vet.392Views0likes0CommentsRe: Looking for a TT that fits my family needs
We also wanted to up-grade from our pop-up to a TT. We have a Toyota Tundra Double cab with tow limit of 6500 (according to our Toyota dealership). We looked for months for a TT that suited our needs. We have 2 DD's, one is getting re-married and the other is graduating high school this month. So in a year or less, it will mostly be just DH and I, possibly the grandkids. We found this TT, 2013 Wildwood X-Lite by Forest River. We got it for just over $14,000. It comes in under the Tundra's tow limit and that was very important to DH. We spend a lot of time outdoors when camping, so having a slide was not important to us. We decided to also keep our pop-up. It is in excellent condition and we decided to give it to our youngest DD as a kind of graduation gift.279Views0likes0CommentsRe: Newb question: Stranger approaches your RV
It would really depend on the circumstances as to whether or not I would let them. If they stood there talking for several minutes and were showing no signs of distress, the answer would be a firm "NO." We have always tried to park close to a bathhouse or bathroom facility when we camped with our tent or pop-up. I would never have the nerve to ask to use a strangers bathroom.103Views0likes0Comments
