RV Q & A - What is it like camping at the RV Parks?

We have been very pleased with almost every RV park that we have camped at.  We often stay at Thousand Trail/Encore parks because of our membership. (It is only $3 a night with our TT membership!) Most of their parks have security gates and other amenities such as a pool, activity center, laundry facilities, and playgrounds.  All of the staff at the parks have been very friendly and helpful too. Many times the parks will have free, fun activities such as potluck nights, bingo, dances, and concerts.  

There are some times when we travel where the area does not have a TT/Encore park, so we decided to join other camping clubs for their discounts as well. (Since we have started traveling full-time, we have joined FIVE different camping clubs! HA! But believe me, we have saved SO much money it has been worth it!) We have also stayed at a few state parks which usually do not have many amenities, but they are inexpensive and you really get to enjoy the beauty of more natural surroundings.  A few times, we have had the blessing of camping our RV on the church properties where we held seminars. Staying at the churches is very convenient and its FREE! Free is good:)  

While in Charleston, SC, we stayed at Lake Aire Campground, which was very nice.  The staff was friendly, and the park had two nice playgrounds.  The boys also enjoyed watching the ducks swim in the nearby pond.  They called them "turkey ducks" because they looked like a cross between a turkey and a duck!

 We found this mama duck sitting on her nest with eggs!

We explored the park and found several turtles in the lake too.

The boys made several new friends at this park, especially one boy from the Northwest who was vacationing with his family. (Hello Noah!)

During our stay in Myrtle Beach, there were no TT/Encore parks close by, so we found Briarcliffe RV Park that gave a discount for Passport America members. It was a very nice park and the boys loved riding their bikes around the paved roads.

Joshua enjoyed learning how to "ride" a scooter...

I can always count on Caleb for a cute pose for the camera:)

We really enjoyed the activity center here. One of our neighbors was camping with his granddaughter and her friend, so we met up a couple of times for bicycle riding, ping pong and putt putt. Very sweet people!

Unfortunately, the pool wasn't open yet for the season, but we probably would not have gone much since it was cold, and the beach is only 5 minutes away.  

Feel free to ask any questions about our RV lifestyle in the comments section! I will try my best to answer them:)

Blessings to you and yours,

Jill and the boys:)
