Mission 034 - Hamburg State Park | GEORGIA STATE PARKS | CSRA Camping

What a lovely, peaceful place!  Take a look at our discovery of Hamburg State Park!  Located between Augusta and Milledgeville, Georgia, this remote park is home to a 28-site campground situated next to a 225-acre lake, where one can fish for bass, crappie and bream (which, of course, we didn’t do…).  The park also features a 1920s-era grist mill, and four different hiking trails.  Watch all the wildlife that walked, flittered and swam past our campsite, and see why this “hidden gem” in Georgia’s roster of parks is now one of our favorites! 

Mission 032 - A.H. Stephens State Park | GEORGIA STATE PARKS | RV Life

New YouTube video! 🎥 Winter FINALLY relented long enough for us to enjoy a much-needed four-day weekend, giving us the chance to discover another great local camping destination, Alexander H. Stephens State Park in nearby Crawfordville, Georgia.  Watch and see us experience this quiet state park about halfway between Augusta and Atlanta, situated in some quiet forest land a few miles off Interstate 20.  Not only does the historic home of the Confederate Vice-President and Georgia governor await visitors here, but there are also plenty of opportunities for horseback riding, hiking, fishing and paddle boating. 

Mission 030 (Pt. 2) - SAVANNAH 6-Hour Walking Tour | River St. to Forsyth Park

Taking in one of America’s most beautiful cities in just six hours (or so) sounds like impossible task… and really, it IS impossible!  That didn’t stop us from giving it a try!  Of course, we only got a taste of what all Savannah has to offer, but we certainly enjoyed the taste we got.  Come along as we see the brand-new Plant Riverside District and the American Prohibition Museum, have lunch at Paula Deen’s famous “The Lady & Sons” restaurant, and visit the beautiful Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist! 

Mission 030 - RV'ing Ft. McAllister State Park for Halloween 🎃

Halloween down on the Georgia coast! 👻  As we tend to do this time every year, we spend another All Hallows' Eve exploring a new camping destination.  This time around, we visited Fort McAllister State Park, a little south of Savannah.  With the lovely hiking trail along the marsh, the Spanish moss-draped campsites, and the site of some Civil War history all right there, the park turned out to be a great choice!  Watch as we show you how we spent just a part of our long weekend in this fantastic example of Georgia's state parks! 

Mission 027 - Magnolia Springs State Park | Summertime RV CAMPING in Georgia!

Summer in Central Georgia! Magnolia Springs State Park outside of Millen, Georgia was our first camping trip of the summer, and what a great discovery it was! This quaint little state park is known for some lovely hiking trails with lots of opportunities to see alligators and turtles sunning themselves along the waters flowing from the natural springs. See for yourself as we find yet another quiet, off-the-beaten-path campground not too far from home! 

Mission 020 - Petersburg Corps of Engineers Campground

Our tour of Lake Thurmond’s camping spots continues! Petersburg Campground is our first experience at a Corps of Engineers campground, and how nice it turned out to be! Join us as we spend a weekend discovering how well the Army engineers maintain this facility, and seeing more of Thurmond Dam than we ordinarily do. We also take a lovely boat ride around the lake, soaking up some desperately-needed lake breezes! 

Mission 019 - Hot, HOT Camping at Elijah Clark State Park

Hot in the Summer! ☀️ Elijah Clark State Park on the Georgia side of Lake Thurmond (thankfully) offers campsites open to larger areas of the lake, allowing the lake breezes to provide a little relief from the sweltering July weather. Of course, jumping INTO the lake also helps beat the heat! Come along on our long weekend trip to this lovely park, where we see a little bit of Revolutionary War history and learn some more about the fantastic camping opportunities here in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA).

Mission 018 - Biking & Boating at Wildwood Park on Clarks Hill Lake

Summer vacation 2020!! Our one and only week-long RV excursion for the year took us over to Wildwood Park, just across the Savannah River from our home base, and we definitely got a week's worth of fun and relaxation while there.  We spent lots of time just chillin', but did get our adrenaline flowing (a little, anyway) with some bicycling on the park's trails. We also took out our inflatable "Banana Boat" kayak for the first time! Take a look for yourself and see just how much fun and sun can be crammed into one week on the shores of Lake Thurmond! 

Wildwood Park | CAMPGROUND REVIEW | Columbia County, GA - (Special Report)

Our tour of close-to-home camping opportunities continues! Wildwood Park, a county-owned and maintained RV campground, sits on the shores of Clarks Hill Lake (Lake Thurmond) just north of Evans, GA. Join us as we do a full review of the park, showing you the variety of campsites available here, along with some other perks and amenities you might find interesting! 

Mission 016 - BACK TO CAMPING at Mistletoe State Park, Appling, GA!

Mistletoe State Park was our destination for this long-overdue return to RVing! It's a fairly short ride for us, being just outside of Appling, GA, meaning we spent more time camping and less time driving! Take a look as we show you the beautiful countryside on the way there, the gorgeous waterfront campsites on the shores of Lake Thurmond, and the lush almost-rainforest-like hiking trails that meander through the park. We were so happy to be released from "COVID Clamp-Down" that we'd have enjoyed this trip no matter what the park was like, but so much the better that we found it to be a great place to spend a long weekend with the "Aluminum Falcon!" 

Mission 012 - Seeing Fall's Colors at Watson Mill Bridge State Park

What better way to escape all of Halloween's hub-bub than by running off to northern Georgia to see some Fall colors!? In our latest YouTube video, you'll see that Watson Mill Bridge State Park outside of Comer, GA was where we spent a long weekend for this year's All-Hallow's Eve, enjoying the forest hiking trails, listening to the rolling South Fork River, and of course, seeing the famous covered bridge. Take a look at our stay in this lovely, peaceful little gem of a state park, and then plan your own trip there!

Mission 009 (Part 1) - Tallulah Gorge State Park

Our newest YouTube video is up and running! After climbing out of Tallulah Gorge, we felt the urge to shout "DELIVERANCE!" to the Heavens, as we then totally understood how Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight felt at the end of that movie! Well, maybe we exaggerate a little... Take a look at our visit to Tallulah Gorge State Park in the Georgia mountains, where we foolishly jumped into the infamous "Gorge Trail Hike." Rushing waters, jagged boulders and broken toes all conspired to wear us down, but we conquered the trail and lived to tell the tale!
