Ocala FL twice!

Ocala Fl
August 29 - September 7, 2016
September 29 - October 4, 2016

We stayed in Ocala North RV Park twice.  We stayed there while we waited for an appointment at LazyDays in Tampa FL and again later that month before we left the area.

The park got average reviews (which were a few years old)  but we were very impressed as soon as we pulled in.  The park is under new management and was clean, well-kept and had an amazing pool.

It was beautifully shaded throughout and the trees had spanish moss which lent to the beauty.  There were some permanent residents but it was hard to tell since most had well-kept campsites.  Those that blighted the park were situated near the back and mostly out of sight.

I did laundry and their facilities were clean as a whistle.  We didn't have hot water in the coach the first time, so I used the showers which were also quite clean.

I only used the pool once and wish I had taken advantage of it more often.  It was absolutely splendid!

We met a good friend George who lived next door and he had us over for dinner one day.  What a spread!  We reciprocated when we returned the 2nd time.  It was nice but he really knew how to entertain! I hope we meet again!  

In between our Ocala visits, we went to Seffner for some work and then to Myakka State Park in Florida.  Stay tuned! 

No No Don't Leave!  (But we always come back)

Harrison Run State Park TN

August 22, 2016 Harrison Run State Park, Tennessee

We finally left the mud-infested Renfro RV Park and arrived at the beautiful Harrison Run State Park in Tennessee. It was a bit of a challenge to back into the site, but even as the front wheels almost dropped into a ditch, we made it in ok. Our neighbors looked on in anticipation (and probably for some entertainment value as well).

 

The roads in Tennessee were the most dangerous I have ever seen. There is nowhere to pull off because right over the white line, the road drops off into a ditch. I as the passenger rode in absolute fear of falling off the road and nearly threw out my back trying to stay on the road (or so I thought).  But I digress.

When we cooked outside, we had visitors.  

A beautiful park...

Site right by the lake.
