Variety is the Spice of Life


After an enjoyable stay at Poinsett State Park, we headed for a private park in North Carolina, near the coast. Before Covid, we were a couple  who stayed almost exclusively in state parks when traveling, but in 2020, when all the national and state parks shut down, we learned the value of private parks.

Aesthetics are important to me but sometimes so are amenities. After a week in a beautiful, wooded, natural setting, it’s a nice change spending a few days in a place where you can do laundry without leaving the campground, lounge around a pool in the heat of the afternoon and socialize with others doing activities and playing games. (Shuffleboard is a lot more fun than it looks!)

We met our new best friends, Caroline and Jeff, at Whispering Pines, (who travel in an incredible van they designed) and I managed to karaoke for the first time. We were also close enough to North Myrtle Beach, where my family vacationed growing up, for a walk down memory lane.
