Down by the river

Camping beside a river is almost heaven.

People used to think that living in a van down by the river was only one step above living under a bridge, but now more people are seeing it as the perfect place to be.

The weather will soon be warming up, and it will be time to take your RV and go camping. Unless, of course, you're living in your RV full-time as I did for 13 years, and you're already camping somewhere.

Here's another one of my favorite places to camp

In the picture below, I'm camped at Curtis Creek Campground near Old Fort, North Carolina. It's right off I-40, not far from Asheville. You can't see the creek in the picture, but it's right beside the RV.

The creek is stocked with trout, and the sound of the creek at night makes for great sleeping. There are only a few bad things about this camping site. You can only stay there for 14 days, there's no electricity, and there's no running water to connect to.

Here's one more of my favorite places to camp

In the picture below, I'm backed up to the beach in Galveston, Texas. I camped here for three months, and I liked it so much that I went back the next year and camped for three months again. This picture was taken at sunrise on Thanksgiving Day during COVID. Bottom line: When you're living in an RV, home is wherever you park it. Is this the year that you spend more time in your RV, or even decide to live full-time in an RV—maybe you could spend some time living down by the river?
