Camp Kamp
Second Time Out
Funny, the weather report in advance was not unlike the report before our first time out, the maiden voyage. I sure hope we haven't established a trend here. We really do prefer mild weather --but it is still February and even in the south, it is still February!! As long as we leave out the tornadoes we'll be happy.
Just like last time, we forged ahead in spite of the rainy weather forecast. This time we are going to In The Woods camp, which is really not far from home. And its definitely off-season and we're up for that. We were at this camp just once before --middle of the summer last year and had a nice time --met some great people! Great pool too!
This time was very quiet, Tom and John, the owners, kept us company. Several of the full time guys came to say Hi while we were setting up --and the overall atmosphere here is nice and friendly. The camp is big enough for nice long walks, perfect for our Bentley too --he only walks so far and then gives out. They have a very large meadow area with wide mowed paths leading through it --very nice spots along the way for future picnics. It was an off-season weekend and just right for a little quiet time --grilling, campfire, catching up on some reading. Good time together which is what this RV adventure is all about for us anyway. Not much of a party time this time.
The guys were nice to fire up the hot tub --so we at least had that little treat. Otherwise we had a nice quiet weekend on our own and we will return here a couple of times in the regular season this year. Good contrast. They have a nice tree swing that served as our meeting place for discussing our set-up-camp-take-down-camp checklists. It was nice enough to sit outside --at least sometimes.

I'm looking forward to your continuing reviews of parks and campgrounds. I'll be passing through Georgia in May enroute from Florida to Asheville. I'm planning to spend a few nights at River's Edge but I'm open to suggestions.
You'll have a great time at RE. Its by far the most popular private gay campground around here. Its a special atmosphere --very different from the state parks which have fully developed level campsites, nice restrooms and other facilities and usually some remarkable natural features. We'll be at RE several times this year --as well as more state parks. Variety for us!
I just found your blog here, Thanks for sharing the stories and images. I googled the rv park and it looks like a great place they dont restrict to only men but it looks like it is a mans rv park. can you clue me in on how receptive they are to women rv'ers We stayed at a clothing optional rv park in Fl and the guys were great to us but we felt like we cramped their style a bit
Hi Lisa B, Women are welcome at RE and a couple of women are a central part of the social life and full-timer scene at RE, but I certainly understand how you don't want to cramp anyone's style!!
We have visited all of the private camps in the southeast recently (GA AL SC TN the past year) and I would like to emphasize, if it says women welcome, women will be welcome. It's all about an open, fun, no hang-ups environment. I think everyone can be a part of it!! In fact, its what we like best --not about men --its about an open, welcoming, no attitude place to be. We'll post our schedule as we go along this season. Hope to see you out on the road!!
