Our Favorite, and Least Favorite Camp Spots So Far

 Hey Y'all!


We've really stayed at quite a few campgrounds, and other spots so far on this journey. Some are far better than others, and I'm sure you can guess our favorite so far, but to get you up to date, and refresh all our memories...

In order, from the beginning:

Amanda's Mom's

Amanda's Sister's

Planet Fitness (Kingsport, TN)

Walmart (Middlesboro, KY)

Chris's Mom's/Brother's

Oakridge Campground (Rockport, IN)

Hotel in KY (1 night)

Warrior's Path State Park (Kingsport, TN)

Cracker Barrel (640, Knoxville, TN)

Cracker Barrel (Lebanon, TN)

Cedars Of Lebanon State Park (Lebanon, TN)

Cracker Barrel (Franklin, TN)

Cracker Barrel (Athens, AL)

Cowford Campground (Athens, AL)

Hotel in Scottsboro, AL (2 nights)

Cracker Barrel (AL,GA, TN line)

Harrison Bay State Park (near Chattanooga, TN)

Cracker Barrel (640 Knoxville, TN)

Lowe's (Kingsport, TN)

Amanda's Mom's

Oh Kentucky! Campground (Berea, KY)


I think that's it... but I'm not 100% sure I didn't miss an overnight somewhere.


So, which was our favorite?


Cowford Campground in Athens, AL.. You couldn't beat that view, anytime of day. Plus it was clean, quiet, and just so peaceful.


Our least favorite?

Planet Fitness in Kingsport, TN. It was just so very loud, all night long. So very loud. The gym itself and this location is nice, and well laid out, and the showers are good. We'd just not overnight here again, unless there were no other option.


As you can see we stay at Cracker Barrel quite a bit. Why? They're free for one. Plus they're easy to get to, plentiful locations, have ample parking, are travel friendly, are pretty quiet, and feel safe.

Our Favorite Places Thus Far (Updated) TOP 5

 Hey Y'all! This is a bit of a filler blog, because while we've been places we've liked nothing so far has beat these five. Honorable mention to the latest museums, we really enjoyed them all. Both Jonesborough, and Greeneville TN are awesome (Lost State of Franklin) and we highly recommend them too.   We've been fortunate to have seen quite a few sights these past few months, here's our top 5!  There were so many cool things, and places coming up with just five favorites was harder than expected. Working from 5, and in order we'll start with... 5)  Athens Veterans Museum - Welcome to the Alabama Veterans Museum and Archives. Located in Athens Alabama, we are proud to be a part of our military history with a large exhibit center, guided tours provided by local veterans, gift shop, meeting facilities, monthly coffee call and much more . The Alabama Veterans Museum & Archives collection contains an impressive display of artifacts from the Revolutionary War unt...

Things About Preparing For Van Life That Just Make Sense...

Image
 Hey Y'all! In this blog we're sharing things about van life that just make sense... I'm sure you've seen the memes and videos on social media. We've been slacking on the social media things, especially our YouTube lately. So here's our list: Van Life Things That Just Make Sense Van life is a unique lifestyle that requires thoughtful planning and preparation. Here are some things that just make sense in this nomadic way of living: Essential Gear: Portable power: Solar panels, inverters, and batteries are must-haves for powering your appliances and devices. (As you may know we've opted for solar and a power bank, that's working well for us!) Water storage: A reliable water tank, filtration system, and a way to heat water for showers and cooking. (We have a 5 gal tank, and a solar shower, but we use Planet Fitness a lot for our shower needs.) Cooking equipment: A compact stove, cookware, and utensils for preparing meals on the road. (As we've writte...

Places We've Been/Things We've Done- March & April

Image
 Hey Y'all, So, what have we been doing? Some of it we've shared here in the blog (Like our first Loves RV stay) some we've shared on our social media accounts: linktr.ee/outlandadventures We started out March in NE Ohio, Chris' best friend (more like family really, and that's how we generally refer to them) had just had surgery on his ankle. We visited with them, attended a basketball game, a dance competition, several parks, played bingo, went to Quality Inn with an entire indoor play area with pools, hot tub, mini golf, arcade, and various play areas. I'm sure there was more, but those were the highlights! After we left them we spent a few days in Findley State Park, before heading further west, we spent a night in Delphos, OH... Pretty area, but the weather didn't really cooperate enough to enjoy outdoor recreation. That brings us to April... From there we traveled onward, crossed the state line, and spent a week in Decatur, Indiana.  While there we enjo...
