Beach Time! Destin West RV Resort

Something about our stay in Tampa made us crave being by the ocean. The beauty of this life is that we can make random choices just about every day. If we don’t like a place, we leave. If we love a place, we stay longer. We’ve really been trying not to plan as much, ...

Free Camping in Lake City Florida at Cobb Hunt Camp

We stayed in a BLM for 14 days! Goal achieved. We haven’t been able to stay in one place very long. Not sure why, it just never works out. It feels like we’re always on the move, plans to go somewhere or do something so being able to stay at this free campsite near ...

Sellers Lake near Astor, FL

We headed to Oscala National Forest after getting our generator fixed, slowly making our way to Destin Florida. We’d planned to stay at Sellers Lake (29.1072, -81.648), a BLM site, for 14 days but only made it to day 4. We arrived on Thursday but had to vacate on Sunday when volunteers came by ...

Free Camping at Hickory Hammock Campground, Lorida FL

We were happy to leave Istokpoga boat ramp early in the morning and head down the road (about 15 minutes) to Hickory Hammock Campground (27.4478, -81.1771). A permit is required to access the property (we hate planning aheads so this was difficult to coordinate). Once we applied for the permit with the South Florida Management ...

Istokpoga Canal Boat Ramp Area, Lorida FL

We left Tampa and headed out to do as much boondocking as possible. We’ve felt like  we’ve been in cities way, way too much lately and are getting pretty fatigued over the whole thing. Our goal from now to April 7 (when we have a fancy RV Resort booking in Destin Florida) is to do ...

Bay Bayou RV Resort, Tampa FL

We arrived in Tampa early enough that we parked right outside Costco while Leanne went to Whole Foods (or is it Whole Paycheck? I can never remember the name of that store…), Costco, and dropped of Coconut to Camp Bow Wow for couple of days of dog boarding. Why only Coconut in overnight dog care? ...

Blackwater River Primitive Recreation Site, Holt FL

While we enjoyed our time in Nola, as we mentioned in our French Quarter experience, our New Orleans stopover could have been a lot shorter than we’d planned. Because of this, we were pretty excited to get back to nature. And what better way than at a Primitive Recreation Site? Blackwater River Primitive Recreation ...

French Quarter RV Resort in New Orleans

We spent 6 days at the French Quarter RV Resort in New Orleans, after a few days in a VRBO rental. This RV park is within walking distance, about 10 minutes to the core of the quarter. We made the walk a couple of times. One by ourselves, and the other with Coconut. She ...

Welcome to Louisiana! Free Camping at Atchafalaya Welcome Center

We're just about to New Orleans! But couldn't quite make it after a very, very long drive from Texas. So, we decided to stop at the Atchafalaya Welcome Center (30.3414, -91.7221) between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. This welcome center is an excellent option for a one-night stop, the parking lot is easy to get ...

Bolivar Flats Free Beach near Galveston, Texas

Beached out? Us? No way. We left Magnolia Beach a couple of days ago and headed further East, slowly making our way to New Orleans. The original plan was to spend about two weeks in each ocean location (Magnolia and Bolivar) but the drive shaft incident slowed us down quite a bit. We arrived at Bolivar ...
