It depends on when you go. I was there last September. Not many people but the ones that were there made driving through a PITA. Oh, a critter 200 yards from the road! We better stop right now even though there's no place to park.

We stayed at Flagg Ranch in the Grand Tetons, then drove through Yellowstone to Idaho. Very crowded this time of year. Traffic around Old Faithful was brutal. All RV campgrounds in the area are way overpriced.

It’s here……almost!

The new Paradigm landed at the dealer in DE yesterday, they were already well into their PDI when we stopped down to see it and drop off the 50 amp EMS for them to install. We are heading out on Wednesday for a week with the current Jayco TT, it will be our last of many, many trips together. Once we get home we will go down and and have our “education class” on the new fiver and then do our own PDI and if everything checks out OK we will swap trailers the following day. Then the fun begins getting the new one loaded up and figuring out where everything will go.

Its kind of amazing how the dates involved with this fiver have meshed with us, it started construction on our 30th anniversary, finished its build on my birthday and arrived at the dealer on my wife’s birthday.

If it works out for us to swap rigs on the 28th we will be taking it to a local-ish campground about 40 miles from home to spend a long 4th of July weekend with a group of camping friends, about 6/7 couples and rigs. Always a good time with that bunch! Then a few more local-ish trips through July and August before heading out on a 76 day adventure from PA down to AR then out to CA and back via TX with our camping friends from AR and their fiver. Will be hitting several National Parks and amazing locations along the way.

Twin Lakes spot 3.

There are several ACoE campgrounds on lake Hartwell.

A big benefit to living in a lake community is that we are lucky enough to pick and choose to stay at our favorite sites. We live about a mile from the lake, but it is massive with 1,000 miles of shoreline.

I've stayed at only one COE campground. It was Brush Creek Park, west of Tulsa, OK. The sites were well spaces apart. Is that common to most COE campgrounds?

For the most part yes they always have a lot of room. We use them when they are on our travels, we will go out of way to use them. With the senior pass they are half price.
