Oceanfront Campground Tour Camp Hatteras and Winery Harvest Host! RV Life

[@w4gle1963]

YES, you need to go to Ocracoke Island, go visit the Lighthouse and enjoy some of the foods there and lots to see.

[@zepherstarrtrail7802]

Daisy always seems like a happy little camper.

[@kevincameron8437]

Camp Hatteras is just about our fav campground period. We love the OBX and the sound side is our favorite side for the sunsets, but there really isn’t a bad site in the park. I’m glad y’all had a great time there.

[@nikkibraxton5365]

I liked the fact that they welcomed Daisy at the winery!! Awesome people in my book! Thank you for sharing! Take care and safe travels! God Bless!

[@jollyg83]

I’ve been going to Ocracoke since I was a baby. Took some of my first steps on those beaches, so have my kids. Somewhere I have a piece of an old dilapidated beach shack that allegedly was home to Blackbeard at one point in his life. It’s a great island that’s fun to explore and full of outdoor adventure.

[@dbbaker8]

Kim and I have visited Hanover Winery many years ago, looks great. You were just up the road from our home. One day will have to catch up and camp.

[@razmondpush2971]

Looks like a nice place to spend some time. Thanks for the invite, enjoyed the visit with you as well the hosts. Safe travels too you as well.

[@fredp767]

Staying at mama gerties That's awesome I live in Swannanoa. Glad you stopped in our little hole in the way haha. I've followed yall for a few years now.

[@josephcaprara898]

Thank you the video. Including Daisy was nice too.

[@brianlykins6663]

Very nice video, terrific scenery. I think that would be the best thing about traveling the way ya'll do, see a pretty place, find a spot and enjoy it a while. The winery looked nice. Looked like it was Miss Daisy approved as well. Glad to see ya'll on the road and enjoying the new rig. God bless ya'll and stay safe on your travels out there.

[@grayfox9911]

Daisy is such a cutie! She warms my heart, 💗 Y'all have fun!

[@ejs6010]

Nice vineyard and harvest host location.

[@MagicMixR]

Another awesome by my Favorites!!

[@CollinsRoadTheatres]

I am really loving your journey through my former home state of North Carolina. You make me so homesick! I can't wait for the next episode!

[@fredfredrico4917]

Daisy rocks!

[@dcrfire]

I can’t wait to hear about your stay at Mama Gertie’s! My wife and I stayed there about ten years ago and we loved it! I hope you do a tour of the campground in your video, we would love to see how it’s changed. On our stay, we had a pop up camper then, we used the shower house and restrooms. Everything was super clean and the camp hosts were very helpful, courteous and informative. We purchased two day passes to The Biltmore at the campground office and we loved the experience at the Biltmore properties. Have a great time and thanks for your videos, they are so informative and fun to watch!

[@MrMstschreck]

We volunteer at Cape Hatteras and have the perfect site! We have trees around us for shade, but can still hear the ocean! Love Cape Hatteras aka CAHA in the NPS world!

[@EngineerGeek2402]

Hanover Park and Amy are awesome. We have been members of their wine club for years and have even camped there ourselves. If you are ever in the area, definitely stop in!

[@ready2roamrv289]

Visited Hatteras quite a few times through the years. We enjoy fishing in Buxton & Frisco, and we always take the ferry to Ocracoke for a day. Glad you got to enjoy some time in OBX.

[@rickrichardson5329]

Thank you for taking us along. I love wineries and how they make the wine. I'm not much of a wine drinker but the process does fascinate me. Stay safe

[@jessiealonzo2660]

Loving your videos!!!!

[@mtnman1]

My dad was one of the last employees at Atari in Sunnyvale, CA. We’ve been in North Carolina about 20 years now and were just at the KOA in Rodanthe a few weeks ago.

[@luckystamper]

I really am jealous watching you visiting OBX. We had a house on the dunes in Avon and every summer from the time I was 5 to 18 was spent on OBX. Yes definitely take the trip to Ocracoke there is so much fun history, like Black Beard. There is also the town of Hatteras and get there when the boats come in for fresh fish. Also visit the lighthouse it is so interesting to learn they moved her from the edge to the inland. Imagine how long it took. The island changes every day with the winds and the tides and keep in mind it is the graveyard of many, many ships. You never know what will be uncovered. Safe travels.

[@travelingwithtroyandrhoda6442]

Another great video! Appreciate you three and your content. We have been living this life 10 months now and love watching you from our motorhome as we are traveling around.

[@alanknight4418]

Ocracoke Island is a must do. Old light house. And British cemetery. Dockside eating watching charter fishing boats unload their catch. And the pirate shop.

[@JohnnyLawBMC]

Nice episode. It was very nice seeing how the changed that old farm into a winery

[@kitdatson1902]

I love Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks. Spent a ton of time down there in the '80s surfing, windsurfing and fishing.

[@edandsharonmoreland]

Hey guys I think you were following us 😊. We stayed at Oregon Inlet Campground in freezing cold March. Did the ferry to Ocracoke but nothing was open. Then we went to Asheville before we drove up to Elkhart for warranty repairs.

[@garyhahn3450]

Ocracoke Island is fun. We used to stay at the National Park campground. They don't have hookups but it is along the dunes next to the beach. We always enjoyed the restaurants and fish market there. They used to have a theater there where we enjoyed music nights and story telling nights. Have been to a few Harvest Host locations. All good so far.

[@davidoverholt251]

That park really looks awesome Chad and Tara!

[@dowzoo]

We camped there once years ago, but it looks like it has all been rebuilt - probably some hurricane wiped out the old one.

[@donaldpereira2652]

If you get your hands on a bottle of port with a slightly higher "ABV", with a slight brandy bite, it's the real deal, and will go really well with any sweet desert.

[@Noonecaresme]

Thank u ! My kind of a day. Love that Daisy

[@geopro19FBS]

Had a family reunion down on Cape Hatteras a few years back. Took the ferry out to Okcacrote Island. It does take a majority of the day. But as mentioned, it is very low key and quiet.

[@fokaspetrogiannis]

Excellent 👌

[@mnmandthegang]

Great video, my wife and I were stationed at Ft. Bragg in the '90,s but never ventured that far out. Hopefully we can make it next year, safe travels.

[@garyward3054]

I have a membership there at Camp Hatteras and we love it. Going for 9 days very shortly.

[@steveconklin2264]

The Winery, is a nice looking place, especially based on the "as bought" picture! Glad they were able to save and update the place. Saw you folks (and Daisy) at Pineola, we were all the way in the back @ 21.

[@ChangingLanes]

Sorry we missed you!

[@janetwilson4290]

It is worth the time to make the day trip to Oca Croak Island.😅

[@donaldpereira2652]

Port wine is a desert wine, originally from Portugal. Not a wine drinker, by any means...I prefer good whiskeys...but I am of Portuguese descent, so I researched Port. In the olden days, of wooden ships and iron men, Portugal was shipping Port to England and France. When the ships got to their destination, the wine was mostly vinegar, due to the long voyage.

[@stevenevans2774]

Going to mammagerties mid October. Looking forward to the next video

[@mooreadventures]

OBX is the best & yes, you need to go to Ocracoke... It's worth the trip. In Yadkinville, you are ~45 mins from me. But I am sure by the time you published this, you were long gone. It'd be cool to meet y'all sometime... Safe travels.

[@kevincameron8437]

Yea, they literally went 1 mile from my house on the way to Asheville-we’re off HWY 64 outside Zebulon.

[@movinngroovin2104]

Looks nice. We are at Seamist military campground the ocean is right near us. No key west but very nice beach the campground is so clean we stay on the south side. We are leaving soon as of this coming sunday we have been here 31 days. Leaving to go to Emerald isle NC August 13th.

[@MatthewIrvine]

We've stayed at the KOA next door many times but never at Camp Hatteras. Might have to give it a try. Great breakfast across NC 12 at Mirro's Cafe!

[@ChangingLanes]

The KOA looked nice from what we saw from the road.

[@marthamyers]

Ocracoke is my favorite place on earth! Please add it to you must see list. Happy travels!

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for letting us know! We will add it to our list for next time! 😀

[@danielwagoner]

Oh man I wish I would have known y’all were going to be in town. Hanover Park Vineyard is only 10 minutes from the house. I would have loved to take y’all out for supper. And don’t worry Tara, everyone who doesn’t live hear struggles to pronounce Yadkinville.

[@donEvans27]

Continental shelf drops precipitously at Hatteras making weather and sea state precarious.

[@davidcolinstillman5585]

HI CHAD & TARA 👋 DID YOU SEE THE HOUSE THEY USED IN THE NIGHTS OF RODANTHE MOVIE WITH RICHARD GREER & DIANE LANE ? THEY HAD TO MOVE THE HOUSE BECAUSE THE OCEAN WAS GETTING READY TO CLAIM IT ! HOPEFULLY GET TO GET BACK DOWN THAT WAY , MY FRIEND / WHO PAST AWAY A COUPLE YEARS AGO / & I WOULD GO DOWN THERE 3 OR 4 TIMES A YEAR LOVE IT DOWN THERE THE HOMEMADE FOOD IS SO GOOD & THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY HELPFUL WITH PLACES TO SEE / VISIT & EAT 🙏 BE SAFE ! HAVE FUN ! ENJOYED 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 🍨 GOD BLESS YOU BOTH ALWAYS ON YOUR ADVENTURES 🙏 THANK YOU 🙏 SAFE TRAVELS 😊

[@billcullifer]

You missed a great Island, you need to go there on your next trip.

[@robertburns5145]

You should get to Ocracoke the next time you’re in the Outer Banks. We’ve been there many times and every time it’s worth the ferry wait. They even have a couple of rv parks though your rig may be to long.

[@ChangingLanes]

Thanks for letting us know! We will have it on our list for next time! 🤠

[@Tryke_Ryder]

I’ve been a Harvest host member since 2019, and have never stayed at a host location…🤷🏻‍♂️

[@stevestewart5182]

The locals call it Jack in ville

[@jayneal8293]

I live on Ocracoke, after 25 years in Nags Head, you should come and stay on Ocracoke!

[@ChangingLanes]

Next time! 😊

[@donaldpereira2652]

The shippers had the vintners distill a portion into brandy, which they added to each cask. Problem solved.

[@aswinos6077]

What! You skipped Ocracoke! We have stayed in Avon every 3 years since 1988 and have ferried to the island every visit!

[@ChangingLanes]

Next time! 😊

[@billtodd999]

WOW, you're so BIG!

[@robertdavison362]

How are you liking the f450 vs the f350 upgrade?

[@ChangingLanes]

Loving it! The turn radius is a game changer.

[@paulab984]

I think I heard Daisy say, "why would I use a dog park? That's for DOGS!" I once had a sweatshirt that said, "my dogs aren't humans... at least that's what their piano teacher said." LOL! 😂

[@conconlomp3308]

00:54 so cute! What breed is your baby?

[@ChangingLanes]

Daisy is a "Morkie", which is a Maltese/Yorkie mix. 🐶

[@benzegers6401]

SO SAD you have to feel safe with a big gun in your glove (gun) compartment

[@ChangingLanes]

That was a radio I put in the glove compartment.

[@AmJaxineer]

Heh....sorry for noticing the details.....but "spot 7" seems to be a common theme with your Mid-Atlantic beach stays lol.

[@davidoverholt251]

Chad, In my day, I had 3 pin ball games for $.25 in the 60's. So if you have to pay more in 2023, guess what, you are makinging more than my $1.05 an hour!

[@bookooc5605]

love your videos. Can't image pulling that huge 5th wheel though. It's just me an my 13 year old dog, 25 foot man cave FR 25fks.

[@tobydog247]

Holy good golly!!!!!! We're were there years ago when the new inlet was opened and it sure wasn't this pricey. I guess we need to go back before the rates go up any more.

[@InTheMomentTravels]

Love the ocean! Judy & Steph aka Rebel

[@quicksoncamping2039]

Little Miss Daisy is so sweet. Thank you for sharing the information.

Wow! What a beautiful campground ❤… I especially enjoyed seeing the little vineyard Harvest Host campground thanks for sharing this video!!……Lisa

[@TimNadaud]

Thanks for the video.

[@bigd3314]

oh bummer, I had a whole comment typed and then I erased it!! I found your channel via HappilyEverHanks. I love watching and learning from a lot of the full time RV families out there. Thank you for sharing your adventures and also the "real" side of RV life when problems or the unexpected arise. Don't know that I will ever be able to realize the "dream" of doing RV life, but I enjoy living vicariously through all of my RV You Tube families, like the Hanks, Paving New Paths, Keep Your Daydream, and Less Junk, More Journey, among others.

Thank you!

[@DutchStar443]

Stupid question from a non wine drinker: What is the purpose of swirling the wine around in the glass after it’s poured?

[@ChangingLanes]

Not a stupid question 😊 Swirling the wine helps aerate the wine. Bringing oxygen into the wine will help to bring out the different aromas. Aeration can also help to soften some bigger, stronger wines. There's even more to it than that, but those are the basic reasons to swirl the wine 😜

[@lawrencebest9943]

Great Video Sad to report another horse got hit over the weekend and had to be put down. This is the second one in a month. The first one was a hit and run. In 2000 I went to every Lighthouse in NC in one week.

[@ChangingLanes]

Oh no! Who hits a horse? Gott be extremely reckless! ☹️

My farm in Ayr Ontario Canada is a Harvest Host farm. Come see some day

Awesome! 🤠

We camped there in Oct. 1999 and April. 2004 First row on the dunes, Flew kites, had a blast. My 1999 Fleetwood Storm 30 H. and my 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 32VS Gotta go back sometime

[@TwistedOff]

👍

[@jdgoll]

Curious if the motorhome you mentioned is still for sale?

[@ChangingLanes]

No idea... Their web site is linked in the description... I'd give them a call..

[@eileenburch1704]

Great views of your visit to camp Hatteras. Ocracoke island is 100 percent worth the time to get there. Buxton NC is a sweet village with the best shop for beautiful nautical items, coastal cottage outfitters. Marilyn Epping is a sweet friend. Go there!!! I highly recommend it. Enjoy your trip. Daisy is precious.

[@DOUGG4600]

Was in camp hatteras in early April . Second year in a row .. getting pricey and we heard that a major increase for 2024 .. So we were with 3 other fellow rv and all had bikes .. we did ocracoke island on the bikes .. it’s all day affair with hour long ferry ride ,, left at 8am got back around 9pm .. Howard’s restaurant and a really good brewery … great trip but a LONG LONG day ..

[@susantaylor8554]

Yes been good day trip have camping ground but no hooks ups. It cute not place for long vacation not for me .

[@ChangingLanes]

Harvest Hosts are for overnight stays, not for long vacations. They're great to break up travel days.

[@susantaylor8554]

@@ChangingLanes no place at beach have go by ferry it not long vacation place

[@spikestubbs210]

You will like Ocracoke...the village is quaint and you can ride the bike around and see it all in a couple of hours. It sucks that the ferry takes so long...I can remember when it was only about 15 or 20 minutes, but the shifting sand has filled in the sound.

[@davidmorrow3440]

Thank you for the video. We stay at that campground every year and have been in that exact spot. We absolutely love it. And yes I recommend Ocracoke!

[@williamneville5296]

We’ve stayed many times at Camp Hatteras. Along the oceanfront rode/sites was a huge sand dune which did a great job of blocking some of the wind off the ocean. From your video it appears that the sand dune isn’t there any longer. Love OBX. Ocracoke is certainly wore visiting. We also enjoyed the visiting the Biltmore. It’s amazing that a family fortune could build the Biltmore, Marble House, the Breakers and many more mansions including the 5th Ave NYC homes. We had lunch at the cafe in the barn. Enjoy your videos.

[@staceycoughlin]

Please visit Ocracoke Island but please don’t do a video! We love how low key the Island is and want it to stay that way. 😅 If you tell people to go, they will. 😂❤

[@robertnasser9937]

I know you had issues in Vegas however the Pinball world and museum is here, come in winter

[@curtwalp5120]

We just missed you at Camp Hatteras. Stayed on the sound side but had to go up on the ocean to get some pics. Safe travels and good health.

[@johnnylightning1491]

Looks like a nice place. Hopefully they have something for sale besides wine as I really, really don't care for wine. Keep the good stuff coming guys.

[@fourbucks]

Love this!! We were at Camp Hatteras two years ago and Mama Gerti’s a couple weeks ago! Can’t wait to watch. Asheville was crazy on a Saturday night with our family. Bachelor/bachelorette party central-lots of interesting characters and smells! We wont go back. Mama Gerti’s was great place!

Thanks for re-inforcing why I don't do HH. I don't want to feel obligated to buy stuff I don't want. I know there's no pressure, but you're gonna feel it.

[@ChangingLanes]

$30 for a campground and no wine... or $20 and it comes with a bottle of wine.... It's all in how you view it. 😊

I am not a wine guy but did a tour of Napa Valley and was so fascinated by how wine is made. They still use most of the old school ways and not because they want to be authentic but because it still works the best. Great video and thanks for throwing in a little snippet on your hang gliding adventure!!!

[@ChangingLanes]

In case you missed it, last week's video was all about our hang gliding adventure! 😜 We had a blast!
