Oak Hollow Family Campground: Site C-8

I think I have found the perfect campsite in the perfect campground in all the United States. Granted, I haven’t been to all the United States yet, but this one knocked our sock off.  Everything we look for in a campground is provided at Oak Hollow Family Campground in Highpoint, North Carolina.  Electric (50/30 amp), water, sewer, cable, and free wi-fi, oh my!

The views from campsite #14 at the Buttonwood Campground at Bahia State Park in Big Pine Key, Florida has amazing views of both bridges, the ocean, an inlet brimming with fish and a glimpse into the camper’s marina. It’s truly spectacular at sunset. So, how did we get this site in the middle of winter when anyone who has ever tried to reserve a site at Bahia Honda knows it’s always fully booked through the winter? Like all the other Florida State Parks I reserve, I get them through last minute cancellations, usually a week before. This drives my husband batty Read the rest of this entry
