    If I were to decide last minute to trek on down, would there still be a spot for a small tent?
    Come on down! We will be there with an RV and a fold out sofa if you need it. I will make sure you have a place to stay.

    We got the spot and the camper.  Now need to figure what I'll cook now.  Guess I'll figure that out about April 19th or 20th.

    Are you renting the camper? I tried to rent one through RVshare and those folks are a bunch spazoids. Current plan is to camp in a minivan at spot 26.

    I just bought a new Yukon XL I might just camp in the back. That’s a great idea @caliking

    @g8golfer I think a Full mattered should fit between your wheel wells in that. I slept in a full in my Expedition last fall for a few days responding to the Hurricane and it did not suck.

    I will measure and see if it will work. If so I will throw a mattress in the back and crash in the Yukon for a couple days. Might change my nane to YukonGolfer.

    If you ain't too ugly....yes. Don't worry, there are lots of pictures of some raw bone folk....so you stand a good chance. Actually the wif is the photo grapher in the fam. She took quite a few from BB1.....but her camera was on the blink for the second one. She back in the saddle though.

    Sorry for the delay in responding. 

    RVshare is a site for owners to rent out their RV's campers. Usually a better deal than CruiseAmerica or something like that. I tried for 3 weeks  to rent an RV through RVshare and struck out, because most of the owners I contacted through the site either didn't respond, or had miniscule attention spans and did not want to answer basic questions.

    I had not considered renting a trailer, and having it set up and waiting for us at the park. This was obviously the way to go, since i was able to rent a camper trailer in a day or two. 

    Go to RVshare.com and search for campers around Salisbury, NC. You should be able to find one that fits your needs.
