Fort Macon State Park | Atlantic Beach, NC | NC State Parks - (Outside the Camper)

Live 'n' Learn RV (-less) is back!! Checking out Fort Macon State Park at the northern tip of Atlantic Beach, North Carolina was just one part of our week-long trip to this beachy-tourist destination. After Hurricane Helene tore through our home area in the Central Savannah River Area (near Augusta, Georgia) the week before, this previously-planned getaway was a much-needed break! Fort Macon’s historic charm, ocean scenery, and fascinating Civil War history took us back in time, while the surrounding beaches and marshes let us soak in some relaxing coastal vibes.

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! 

American History, in Our Own Back Yard! (Well, almost...)

Yet again, we find places to explore fairly close to home! During our one-year-of-RV'ing anniversary trip back to Lake Greenwood State Park, we ventured over to Ninety-Six, SC to see the National Historic Site there. It's fascinating to walk the grounds and learn about the events that happened here, and how instrumental those events were in the creation of our nation. Situated amongst 1,000 acres of forest land, this site is another example of the fantastic job the National Park Service does at protecting significant places, keeping them beautiful and accessible to everyone. If you live nearby or are traveling through this portion of South Carolina, you definitely should devote a couple of hours to experiencing this great place!
