    We're from Pace, FL. Love our area! April 13th, 2017, my husband had a stroke to his brain stem. Our journey instantly changed. After a very long therapy journey... here we are. Living full-time in an RV. Honestly, other than the stroke and its physical and emotional effects, we wouldn't change a thing. In June, we'll be heading to a few state parks on our way to Lake Manatee. We are so grateful for your videos and wisdom! THANK YOU for sharing your talent and gifts with the extended RV Families!

    Jena, We wish you and your husband all the best. You know we can understand what you are going through. Campground tours aren’t for views 😉 We keep making them because of comments like yours - plus, if we go back to the same campground, we rewatch our own videos. We really appreciate the support. We hope to continue to help this great RV community. Enjoy your camping 🤗 Alice

    We love the Panhandle of Florida. So much so that is why we purchased a piece of land there last year. We had not stayed at this park but have stayed at Topsail and St Andrews State Parks. Love the site by site view!

    We had a Topsail reservation but had to cancel. We looked at our route and it was too long a drive. I can’t remember if St Andrews is the one with weird sites. Which did you prefer? Wish we had a site by site tour like ours before we book anything. We would have looked for a different site at Big Lagoon- it was a tight squeeze in site 1 Thanks for coming by 🤗

    Looks like a very nice area to me. Hell that looks better then some of the nice campgrounds we stayed in. lol To be beat up from the storm looks good to me. I like the sites that are covered with trees and plants all around. Better privacy. Nice tour and place overall to me.

    The roads and sites were messed up. Our site and the one next to us should be one site - sooo narrow. We were only here 3 nights - would have like to explore more. Supposedly Alabama has a really nice campground close by. Maybe next time. There were some nice sites with privacy. The tower was being fixed. Damaged due to storm. We would have had fun in Florabama together 🤗

    You are right, Big Lagoon looks like a nice beach state park. The campground review was nice, are you able to put a "star" up on the screen every now and then when you feel a site is a "good one". Thanks again.

    It’s hard to pick the best sites because everyone has a different idea of what is a perfect site. We do know site 1 and 2 are not for us - we had 1 and it was a tight squeeze
