While visiting the Everglades and Biscayne National Parks, we stayed at the Long Pine Key Campground for three nights. This campground was located within the Everglades National Park and did not have any hookups, so we filled up our fresh water tank and used solar power. It was pretty cloudy Read more…
The trip down to the Sugarloaf Key / Key West KOA Holiday campground was longer than we prefer, taking about 6 hours and requiring a stop to fuel up while hauling the fifth wheel. But we made it without incident. We had to wake up around 6am the next morning Read more…
Woo hoo, we made it to the most magical place on earth! 🙂 We stayed at the The Campsites at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort for three nights while we visited the Magic Kingdom and Epcot Parks. I was most interested in checking out the Christmas decorations that I’ve heard people Read more…
