Steph was convinced that the area around Crystal River Florida had enough to see to keep us busy for quite awhile so she found us a spot at an RV park in the metropolis (not) of Inglis FL. \u00a0After our meh<\/em> campground in Carabelle I did not have high hopes. \u00a0We’d probably be paying top dollar to be packed in like sardines on a giant concrete parking lot with crappy wifi and a pool thats closed or too cold. \u00a0But Steph nailed it!! \u00a0The area had LOTS to do, the campground was cheaper than a state park, had full hookups, a nice pool we used a lot, wifi that was useable (not superb), and HUGE grassy sites with lots of room between rigs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most of the people here spend the entire winter at the park and have for several years. \u00a0So there is quite a community at the park. \u00a0We constantly saw groups of people sitting around just shootin the breeze. \u00a0So it was this evening while we were eating dinner. \u00a0We saw that our next door neighbors were the party hosts and that they had a fire going. \u00a0I told the kids we should go over and ask if we can use the fire to roast marshmallows. \u00a0Now if just I showed up uninvited at a bonfire with a bag of marshmallows I’d probably have the cops called on me for party crashing. \u00a0But with three cute kids in tow I was\u00a0golden. \u00a0Plus, it turned out that most of them already knew the kids because they’d met them at the little dog run area (the kids would hang out there to meet and play with all the dogs at the park).<\/p>\n

The people were so nice and were happy that we came over. \u00a0They asked about our trip and my work and they suggested we check out Rainbow Springs State Park. \u00a0We had a great time hanging out with this group of folks that were from all over the US but come to Florida for the winter.<\/p>\n

I was a little worried that the clientele at the park would not be too happy about having kids around, but my worries were for nothing. \u00a0The people here seemed to really enjoy having the kids around. \u00a0It was neat to see the community at this park and to be invited into the community during our brief stay. \u00a0We enjoyed the facilities and the kids especially liked the pool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
