New additions to Reunion Lake

Check out the map and see the new additions coming to Reunion Lake in Robert, LA.  Not only the new lazy river but looks like putt putt golf, pickleball, basketball, and some new water activities.

Percy Quin State Park, McComb, MS.

Another weekend get-a-way and we decided to check out Percy Quin State Park in McComb, MS.  This is a nice park, not far from I-55, pretty easy to get to.  They have a variety of things to do including hiking trails, golf, fishing, boating and many other things.  We chose spot 61, had a little view of the lake.  Next time I think I would chose spot 60 if it's available, unobstructed view of the lake.

The park was nice, it was Easter weekend so it was full!  Bathhouses were clean and well maintained.  We had a pretty level spot at #61 but beware that some of these spots have very steep upgrades.  They had a nice little Easter Church Service at their little chapel across from the campgrounds.  The last picture is at the Dinner Bell in McComb.  If you've never eaten here then you must go try it!!  All in all we enjoyed it here and will be back.

Camper purchased, off on our first adventure.

Well, after the camping trip last year we still kept talking about purchasing. In March we found one that we really liked and couldn't pass up on the deal they were offering so we decided to bite the bullet and purchase our own camper.  We went out on a Saturday and looked at it and decided it was the one for us.  Went back Monday to do paperwork, picked up on Wednesday and were camping on Friday!!

This was the first trip in our new camper.  Reunion Lake in Robert, LA.  This is an RV Resort, not a state park and you can tell the difference.  They have only been open about a year and the place was really nice, highly recommend going there.  The spots were a lot tighter and not many shade trees (yet) but that's to be expected in this type of RV Resort.  The staff was wonderful during our stay, they meet you in a golf cart and escort you to your spot and check you in right there.  They have bracelets that you wear and they can be set up to where you can purchase straight from the bracelet.  Nice when you don't want to carry a wallet or purse around.  The bath houses were very nice.  All stalls had their own locking door and had a toilet, shower, sink and shelves in every one.

They have two pools, one for everyone and an adult pool with a swim up bar.  They are separated by a concessions stand which has staff members that come out to the pools and take orders.  They are currently adding on a lazy river with it's own swim up bar and cabana's, supposed to be finished May 2017.  They are also adding on more campsites on the other side of the lake.  They also have a dog park, camp store, arcade, restaurant and many other things.  On the day of your departure the staff comes around with a bag of donut holes.

We really enjoyed it here and will be visiting again.  Sorry for the lack of pictures, wasn't focused on creating a blog at the time :)

Relaxation!

BBQ Ribs anyone?

Baby Girl has to eat too!

Donut Holes!!

Beginning our adventure...June 2016

So, we've been looking at buying a camper for a few years.  We decided last year to rent one and see how we liked it before we made a purchase like this.  We decided on Fountainbleau State Park in Mandeville, LA for our first trip.  The park itself was nice and folks seemed friendly enough.  It has beach access on Lake Pontchartrain where you can swim and do some fishing.  There was no pool but they did have a splash pad that was pretty nice.  Also, there was a freshwater pond that you could fish in.  We saw many deer and wild hogs while we were there.

The RV spots are nice and spaced out pretty well.  We originally had a back in spot but changed to this pull through upon arrival.  They only have 5 or 6 spots with sewer hookup.  Bath houses were a bit old but pretty clean.  All in all we liked the park and will be back for another visit.
