What an amazing trip - your description and pictures made me feel as if I'd been there!
I got so cross with my husband the day he arrived home in March 2020 and told me he'd bought a campervan specifically for an intensive 18-month work project in which he'd be travelling around the UK photographing meadows. We picked the van up just three days before the first Covid lockdown happened, which of course horrified us - so much money spent on a hunk of metal with a wheel in each corner, just when we weren't going to be allowed to leave the house - talk about bad timing!
I'm not a natural camper. I HATED Guide camp (girl scouts) when I was a child. With a PASSION. But gosh, Sarah, we took to that campervan like ducks to water. We're both tall - 6ft half an inch and 6ft 5in respectively - and it's only a VW T5 - but we fit, we're comfortable and we've got everything we need. We take homemade food in the van's fridge and freezer rather than cook from scratch, and our longest trip so far has been 11 nights. We work in it and we play in it. It's our favourite thing in our lives, apart from each other.
Like you said: 'I wouldn’t have it any other way.'
It truly is our favorite way to vacation, and when everything else was shut down at the beginning of COVID, camping was the only activity available to us that was 1) safe and 2) got us out of the house.
Wonderful post with gorgeous photos to boot!
Thanks! It's one of our favorite states parks.

What a beautiful place and there is nothing like Halloween celebrations in an RV campground.
Beautiful sites and you can always say you spent the weekend in Nashville.
Ha! That's true. I really should just spend a day in Nashville and write about that.
