  1. I understand.

     

    My thought when I was recommending those places was just for a couple of nights just to see St. Aug. maybe to or from the Fort.  Just chiming in on TCD's remarks about it, it's such a beautiful and interesting place to visit.  And the beaches are so family friendly.  Heck, you could even pull in for an afternoon on your way to another FL location and see quite a bit.  The visitor's center has RV parking that is free.

    I appreciate all the reccomendations.  We just travel different from your normal full timer or vacationer.  IH's job rarely allows for simple overnight during the week stops.  He works 8am till 6pm most days and is on call 24/7/365.  Campgrounds almost always have 11-12 checkouts though some you can pay anywhere from $4 up for late departures.  Perhaps some day when we aren't living in the RV and are just vacationing in it (thus part of the vacation/disney budget) and not part of my "mortgage" costs.  

  2. I second TCD's Anastasia recommendation.  I lived about 30 min. from there until a month ago and know all the CGs in the area pretty well.  

     

    I would also add:  North Beach Camp Resort - right on the beach, not cheap but not as much as the Fort; St. Augustine Beach KOA - not fancy but decent rates and close to all the tourist stuff; and Stagecoach RV park - not far off of 95, very basic CG but runs around 39/nt and a good base to go and sight-see in St. Aug.

     

    I love the state park option but it's hard to convince DH to do without full hookups.  with four of us, not using the shower, even with careful water consumption (using comfort stations etc) our tanks fill up rather quickly.  And mid-week moves are taboo.

     

     

    So me and Florida, we must have a difference of opinion on what's affordable.  North Beach for a family of 4 is anywhere between $380-406 for a week, on the cheapest sites.  You aren't assured of getting those either, it's what they have available.  (estimating what their weekly rates are based on experience and what i think I remember them saying)  St Augustine Beach KOA is $420 a week right now.  They do not offer weekly rates nor did they mention pay for 6 get 7th free.  By the way, Florida is one of the few places rates are actually higher in the winter than the summer and mind you the only place where a KOA is the affordable option for weeklies.  KOA's rock for monthly rates but daily and weekly....meh.  

     

     

    To give you an idea here are some monthlies I have paid

     

    $450 -            KOA in Asheville, NC (electrical included)

    $450- $ 640 - Port Aransas, TX (add $150 electrical) it was literally a sand dune from the beach

  3. ooooo,aaaaahhhh!

     

    Count me in! I expect it to be positively shameless too, might as well expect it up front. I'm sure you'll deliver... :hah:  :heart:   :raspberry2:

    let me just remind you whom was the inspiration for the shameless thread.... 'nuff said.

     

    I'm in and on page one. Woot woot

    Only because DIT hasn't posted twenty five times taking up all of page one. JK!

    Ill have to learn to pull pix of FB so I can play along. If I can't oh well I bet I can think of a few food comments.

    Sadly Dave is slacking tonight.... Dave, Dave, Dave...

    As if there was ever a doubt... easy peasy lemon squeezy, (i thought you were like that other guy who didnt read TRs).  I wonder what letter this one will be brought to YOU by.

     

    I'm in!

    Welcome Aboard... add your brand of insanity.

  4. I'm in. Never fast enough to grab a picture but I love seeing what you're up to and reading the comments that our Fiends come up with. :)

    you know it gets funny when they do it... perhaps you will catch a few when the others are napping

     

    Captions are my spesh-ee-ality.....

    I would be afraid but I asked for it

     

    I'm in too!

    welcome

    That's right folks.  I enjoyed what you did with my April trip so much that I am requesting/asking for/entreating/inviting a repeat performance.  Sadly, mid trip world events got in the way last time.  I tried to resurrect it but frankly your comments were funnier than anything I could come up with at the time.  Also there is that little embarrassing fact that I just plain couldn't remember much as I was distracted by going to visit family, finding a campground, and I was *hem hem* Fa-Tanged along the way.

     

    Just a reminder of how it worked.  The Fiends on FB would grab my pictures, post them here, and then it's a free for all.  That's right.  You have permission to put your spin on what I am doing.  

     

    About 36 hours till arrival..... So what do you think?  Are you willing?  I know you are able.  Are you prepared for the tags that could possible follow?  

     

    To use a Baseball Metaphor (GO BRAVES!)... BATTER UP!

  6. Good job.

     

    So what's the name of that resort?  Looks pretty nice.

     

     

    If you can ever plan far enough ahead, try for a campsite at Anastasia Island State Park:  http://www.floridastateparks.org/anastasia/

     

    The lighthouse is right there, as is the beach.  Very nice for a state park, and way less expensive than the Fort.

    I almost got my hopes up.  Might still run it by IH but due to certain travel restrictions and inflexibilities ... we usually rule out anything that isn't full hookup.  however, it never hurts to check it out... who knows.
