Maxwell Air Force Base FamCamp (U.S. Military FamCamp) - Montgomery, Alabama (June 2024)

It was easy to tell that we left the cool and tree lined hills of Tennessee and were back in Alabama. Our tire monitors were reporting Rosie's tires were hotter than 120 degrees and our truck was saying that it was 106 degrees outside. (Rosie is our Airstream trailer.) When we stopped for gas and opened the truck’s doors, we felt the oppressive humidity and heat. We knew we were back in Alabama during summer.  We also knew that it would be midafternoon when we arrived home and we would have to unload Rosie in 100+ degree heat. That wasn’t a pleasant thought. Luckily, there was an easy so ..read more

It is easy to see when a campground was well thought out and designed to enhance your camping experience. Many Corps of Engineers (COE) easily fit the “ Well Designed” label, but not all.  Poole Knobs COE Campground had us scratching our heads as to its design. People from the region love this campground and it is full every weekend during camping season. Still, Poole Knobs campground defied typical design principles and left us wondering if the designer ever visited any campgrounds.  For example, our site was across the road from the water front.  It could also be described a ..read more

Cumberland Mountain State Park - Crossville, Tennessee (June 2024)

We had a first at this campground. Our assigned campsite was paved with asphalt, but it was difficult to back into. The site was narrow and had deep drop offs on both sides. When we extended the steps, there was less than six inches of pavement to step onto. We worried about safety exiting Rosie, our Airstream trailer, without twisting an ankle or breaking a leg.  Sign at entrance to Cumberland Mountain State Park Then we looked at the leveling bubble we use to help us decide which leveling tools to use. The bubble was all the way to one side meaning we had a very pronounced s ..read more

HOA rules prohibit us keeping Rosie, our Airstream trailer, at our home. That means we pull up to our home after a camping trip and unload the refrigerator, cupboards and laundry in the hot sun. Then we clean Rosie’s interior and wash the exterior before we pull Rosie to the storage facility we use. We end up completely exhausted by the end of the day. Many of our recent conversations focused on the how to spread the unloading of Rosie over two days. We knew that wasn't practical because of the HOA rules. Then we came up with an idea of how to arrive home very early in the morning while the t ..read more

Foley RV/Airstream of Mississippi- Gulfport, Mississippi (May 2024)

RV owners know that their campers need occasional maintenance. It makes sense that when you drag a trailer down the road at highway speeds, things are going to need repairs. For Rosie, our Airstream trailer, the main door was showing signs of a problem. The door moved up about a quarter of an inch when you closed it from the outside. You had to slam it hard to close it from inside and I am sure that our camping neighbors did not appreciate that noise.  Foley RV/Airstream of Mississippi Airstream owners know that there are some repairs that any RV service center can help with ..read more

We wanted to arrive on Sunday, but were told while making reservations that the Blue Angels FamCamp office closes on Sundays and no one can arrive that day. That wasn’t a problem because we were able to extend our reservation in the previous campground for a day, but it sounded odd that we couldn’t show up on a Sunday.  We managed to arrive on Monday just as the office opened. After we checked in, we made a beeline for the popular sites along the Bay in the Battleship Row campground. Sites are not assigned at registration and it is up to the individual campers to find an open campsite to ..read more

When we heard that the Alabama Airstream Club's Spring Rally was being held at the Anchors Aweigh RV Resort in Foley, Alabama, we checked our calendar and noticed that we did not have anything planned for that weekend so we penciled it in. We had attended Alabama Airstream Rally twice before but we had schedule conflicts in recent years. It would be nice to see our friends in this event.  Another factor in attending this rally was that the campground was less than an hour from Mobile and our grandson was scheduled to play a baseball game there on Saturday. We could slip away from the ral ..read more

This is a campground that assigns campsites when you arrive. We were assigned small sites in the outer loop of the campground on our three previous visits. By the luck of the draw, we were assigned a larger site inside the loop this time.  Office at the Destin Army Recreation Area, which includes the campground and hotel It looked like an Airstream rally when we pulled up to our site. There were two other Airstream trailers next to Rosie, our Airstream trailer. Plus, there was another Airstream trailer a few sites over. Two more Airstream trailers arrived a few days later.

The start of a new camping season is always exciting as we look forward to having new adventures in Rosie, our Airstream trailer. It also means that we were successful in making camping reservations for the coming year. Speaking of reservations, the process of getting into campgrounds has changed since the COVID pandemic. Prior to the COVID days, we felt confident that we could find a site in one of our favorite state and federal campgrounds. Not so today. It takes time and effort to find a place to camp near one of our favorite locations.  The next big shock comes after bookin ..read more

We felt bad about arriving at this campground on Thanksgiving day. That meant the camp host had to interrupt her holiday to check us in since the office was closed. We learned that we were the first of seven check-ins that day and the camp host was very cordial, friendly and welcoming to us. Still, we felt bad that we arrived on a holiday.  Destin Army Infantry Recreation Campground The gate at Destin Army Campground We mentioned before that the campsites in this park are tight.
