Maki just stated that gyms are not her essential thing to look for in a camp spot. And it got me thinking I know what I look for in finding a spot. And that is not the same as what hubby looks for, sometimes this is a problem. 99% of the time we can figure it out and work through what we want. But what do you all look for in finding a spot?
Me, it should not be to be crowded. It should have bathrooms though for a few days not a deal breaker. I like to cook so I like power, but again not a deal breaker. I have power enough for a few days with no problem and I have solar to keep it charged. I want to see wildlife of some kind. Birds, squirrels, flowers, bugs something.
hubby wants to see people doing things. kids swimming, riding bikes, playing ball etc. He doesn't like to just sit and watch the grass grow. He wants there to be an attraction of some kind around. I like funky art, and a good fabric shop makes me happy. And shops to walk in are fun but not something I want to do all the time.
We are not full timers and for the last 2 summers have had to be home for medical stuff but even healthy we like our house so just road trippers which means we look for different then you full timers. We actually use KOA sometimes to do laundry and hot showers and cook some things to add to the freezer thingy for when we just heat and eat. One had a train about half a dozen yards from our spot and it was great to watch the trains go by. One was by an airport for small planes it was fun to watch the planes take off.
One campground we stayed at for a week hubby loved, a huge family camped next to us on all sides and the kids spent all day in the lake in front of our camp. Drove my son nuts, he had joined us for a few days and he likes silence, but hubby loved it. It was loud and they had a blast, and we all played most of the day on/in the water. I liked the turtles on my early morning kayaking trips. I liked the time with my own family
Hubby was just about giddy when we stayed one night at a fairground, campground because the fairgrounds that weekend had a big community garage sale going on the next day. We haaaad to go and it was fun.
So what about you what makes you say nope, NO, not ever. and what makes you really want to stay a bit longer?
