Longs , S.C. – Rv-dreams Rally

We Got here a day early and got a beautiful site ..100_0403

All the sites are big and pull-thru with grills , larger tables and full hook ups………

The resort is called “ Willow Tree Resort " and is one of the finest we’ve been to ..like a five star hotel this is a five star campground…….0411101244a

Pool and hot tub …….I enjoyed both , the pool was a little cold but the hot tub made up for it..niceee

A large lake with a paved path a mile long around it ..that's our site there in the middle….

They had a few sites on the lake with there own hot tubs too……

Its a very cool place …we got a break on the rate because of the rally…..winter rates are around $40-$60 a day and summers twice that ….way out of our budget…..

The rally was a blast and educational too….        The RV-DREAMS .COM  is put together by Linda and Howard Payne …… I started reading it four years ago and it help me to get ready to go full time …….if anyone  wants to know how to get to fulltime rving its the place to go to…..

Now for the rally …. like I said earlier it was a blast IMG_1257

Sharon made me sit in front so to make sure I paddled along with her …..is there no trust in this world ? I think we may sell one of our Kayaks          ( mine ) and buy one of these to travel with …..  thanks Ken and Cindy …….
