Our final month at Woods Ferry River Camp has been an eventful one. We have had over 400 visitors this month. Most stayed over and camped for a night or two and we even had some family members drop in on us to visit and take advantage of our lovely camping area. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and regular canoeing and kayaking people abound during the summer months along the Suwannee River. We will be moving to Adams Tract River Camp tomorrow to finish out our summer months with the Suwannee River Wilderness Trail. It will be opened in time for the big 4th of July weekend!

First Three State Parks
Our First Three State Parks have been great to visit and it would be nice to be able to stay more than 3 days at each one. So far, in our 10 Florida State Parks Vacation, we have visited Oscar Scherer State Park, Lake Manatee State Park and Little Manatee River State Park. We are currently in Alafia River State Park but will hold that review until next time. Not only are we enjoying our stay at each one we are checking out possible future campground hosting assignments. You never know we could get lucky and get our 2015 year all planned out before summer!
We are taking pictures, working on our next festival and just enjoying not being responsible for our fellow campers and cleaning. Don’t get me wrong we do enjoy being campground hosts but after a year of almost straight volunteer work we are ready for a little downtime.

Large Parks versus Small Parks
When you think about your camping experiences in Florida State Parks do you recall what you liked about the park?
Was it a smaller, out-of-the-way State Park or was it just outside of a large town and a fairly large State Park?
Do you prefer to stay at a place with lots of activities or do you just want to lay back and enjoy the quiet?
These questions and more you really should ask yourself before you make reservations at any State or National Park. (Please always make reservations as far in advance as you can). The reason being is you will want to get the most bang for your hard-earned, or even retired, bucks. If you haven’t visited your intended park before go online and read the material on their website, check out some videos about the park on YouTube and ask friends, relatives and your Facebook buddies what they thought about the park if they visited it in the before. You want to look at pictures and videos and go online to see what people have said about the park recently. Remember things could have changed if the information is more than a couple of years old. And please make note of some of the rules about camping in your intended parks as well. They are there for the comfort, safety and enjoyment of all the visitors not just to pick on you.
We’re Featured On Another Website
If you haven’t seen one of our postings on our Facebook Page or seen the Tweet yet we were featured on a Women RVers Blog on the RV Wheel Life website. It was very nice of Julianna Crane to ask us and she delivered a very nice article. If you get a chance we hope you will read the article and check out her entire website as well. The website is filled with information about Recreational Vehicles, RV Clubs Information, Camping Destinations, stories of other RVers and much more. It is a joy to read and of course, we have bookmarked it.
