Fontainebleau State Park Review - Back on the Road.

Will we are back back on the road again and hoping to make the rest of the trip to Florida in the next two days. We are due there on the 3th. Yesterday we had a lot of rain so it was not good for sightseeing. We did do a little riding around the area but the rains put a damper on things. Hoping we can out run the rain today.

Fountainbleau State Park Review - 4 stars

Fountainbleau State Park in Mandeville Louisiana is a nice park not far off I12. The sites are mostly level and spaced out nice so that they are not on top of each other. However if you have a bigger 5th wheel or Travel Trailer some are very tight and  impossible to get into. The days we where there the park had a lot of rain so most if not all of the sites had large amounts of standing water. Some sites had so much water they where unusable. The park has a nice day use area and a great beach. The bath house in the day use area is one of the biggest we have ever seen. There was even a pond with signs the read Do not feed the Alligator. We have still not been able to see one maybe next time.  Most of the sites have electric and water, but no sewer hookup. The WiFi in the park worked very well and the signal was 4 bars most of the time. No password are sign in needed. There are several dump stations in the park that easy to get to. The Park is close to shopping, gas and restauants. We would stop here again when we are in the area and maybe next time it will be a little drier and sunny.

Long Days Drive - Back in Louisiana

We pulled out of Texas on Monday in route to Florida.  We had a long and every windy drive and we drove a little a little longer than planned. After stopping at Cracker Barrel  in Lafayette Louisiana . for a bit to eat we where so tired that we decided to just spend the night there and head out again on Tuesday. 

After have a good Breakfast we where back on the road. We decided to only drive 2 to 3 hours on Tuesday so we could recover  from the drive the day before. We stopped at Fontainebleau State Park  in Mandeville Louisiana.  We are planning on getting  back on the road again on Thursday but only for a couple hours as we do not want to be on the road for New Years Eve. Now it is time for my nap.

Final week in Texas

This is our last week in Texas at Lake Corpus Christi State Park.  We have enjoyed our stay here and meet some nice people and made a few more good friends. It was nice getting to spend a little time with family  that live about 45 minutes away. We have a few other fulltime RV  couples here in the park and have had fun talking with them and exchanging stories about our travels. Fun seeing how some have their rigs lighted up for Christmas.  We managed to put a few lights on our 5th wheel also. We will be headed to Florida soon and looking forward to some more warm weather . We sure not not miss the cold and snow of winter or I should say I do not Gwen on the other hand loves the snow.

We will camp hosting at Ocala National Forest when we get to Florida.  Not sure just what we will be doing yet but we are looking forward to getting there and setup. We have some friends that are camping in the area and looking forward to hooking up with them.  Should be a time.

Lake Corpus Christi State Park Revie

Rated 🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lake Corpus Christi State Park  is located in Mathis Texas about 45 Minutes out side of Corpus Christi.  Most of the RV sites are pull through  sites and are level. One loop has full hook up and  one has Electric and water only , there is a dump station not far away and easy to get in and out of even with the bigger rigs. The site have a fire ring and picnic table and most of the tables have  canopies built over then making it nice in case of bad weather. All the sites both RV and tent sites are setup so that they are not on top of each other. The views of the lake are great and there are a couple of fishing piers ro fish off of. The day use areas also have nice picnic tables with canopies  and a fire grill for cook out . Lake Corpus Christi  is a great place to go and spend a weekend  or more and a great place to spend the day.
