RV Park Chaos and Confusion - 1st Time Scare - State Park Campground Gem

[@oureverydaygetaway]

There's chaos and confusion at TTO, but it's well worth it. And next time we are in the area, we need to stay at Lake Lousia State Park campground. Leave a comment and tell us what you think.

You guys are gonna love the West. I was born in and grew up in MD. I moved west in 1990 and now consider myself a Westerner, no matter where my RV travels take me.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Hey Sally! So looking forward to our trip this year and early 2025. Hope your well and enjoying your travels!

[@sally_forth]

@@oureverydaygetaway absolutely awesome! I’m thinking about Florida for the first time next winter. We’ll see if I end up doing it or not. I definitely love the southwest for the winter time.

[@robmcneill2967]

Great clip folks Horse back riding is a lot of fun ...haven't done it for years, but would do it in heart beat. Thanks for sharing state park, I conquer that it is a very nice spot to spend a little time. We live close to the Niagara region so wineries are never a bad thing...love a good Cabernet Savgion Safe travels 😊

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We agree the Niagara region has some good wine. Safe travels to you as well. 😊

[@campinwiththeconfers]

Good job getting in the horse Chris! Maybe you guys will find a new favorite TT this year! How many bottle of that wine have disappeared already? Safe travels- Mike and Shelley

[@oureverydaygetaway]

He’s on his way to becoming a cowboy!😁 Baby steps. Thinking we may just find a new favorite while on the west coast. We have 4 of 6 left. Not too bad.🤪

[@jerrygulley4712]

I too enjoy TTO. Look forward to your future travels out west. I have spoken with other Rvers and they say the TT parks in Washington and Oregon are beautiful. Thanks

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We are really looking forward to our trip out west this year. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Stay safe and enjoy your travels.

Stink bugs! Never seen so many as this past year! We haven’t pulled the trigger for a TT membership, still not sure it’s our vibe. Thanks for showing Lake Louisa. Looks like a great state park! - Jim

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We are still finding them.🥴 Looking forward to staying at Lake Louisa in the future. Safe travels guys. 😊

[@airstreamer]

Thank you! :) You too!@@oureverydaygetaway

[@cindylieser3123]

We have stayed at Lake Louisa State Park Campground a couple of times and absolutely love it. They have about a half dozen full hook up sites. Would definitely recommend staying there. Great Video!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We just kind of stumbled onto it. Thanks so much for letting us know how much you enjoyed camping there. Looking forward to staying there someday. Thank you!

[@thewanderingshores]

Welcome to the S**T Show.... Love it. Those stink bugs were so bad when we were in Florida our first year. I know people want you to put them outside and set them free but we are with you. They come into your home you defend yourself 8)

[@oureverydaygetaway]

They were so bad this year for some reason. We're still finding them just not as many. 🤪

[@jaimelopez3991]

OMG that was some great drone footage!! I went there once prior to buying my RV; I just wanted to see what the fuss about TTO was!! It was nice indeed!!. As for the right of way entering the facility; we should apply the " one from here - one from there - one from here - one from there" routine!! That way both lanes keep moving slowly. Cheers!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you! You would think that would be the way to arrive at the park. I guess some people don't see it that way. Kind of sad.

[@WaywardWaggs]

It's funny that your video this week is horseback riding - we're doing that tomorrow, lol. We never have been over to Lake Louisa State Park - the campground looks really nice! I was surprised that was your first time at the whinery. They do it really nice there on the weekends - the music and food trucks are awesome 😊.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Chris's first time and he really enjoyed it. Planning on making reservations there next time we're in FL. Now that we found the winery we'll have to go back. Music and food trucks will make it even better!

[@seskelton4193]

STINK BUGS!!!! They were the bane of our existence for EIGHT months. We picked them up in a state park in Tennessee in October of 2022 and we were still finding them - like I said - for 8 months. At first I tried just putting them back outside but I figured they were finding their way back in. I also collected them in a bottle for awhile too. Eventually I just would just capture them in the 1-ply toilet paper and send them to the black tank. ~ Susan (from Destination Changing)

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Who would have thought stink bugs would be an issue in an rv. This is the first time we’ve ever had a problem. Still finding them but getting fewer everyday. Definitely a pain in the you know what! Stay safe and enjoy your travels.😊

[@julier8106]

Pampered Chef has a little device that makes whipped cream by pumping it. Its small, does up to a cup of whipping cream. Light weight and takes up a small space. One of my favorite gadgets!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Sounds perfect! I'll have to look into getting one. Thank you!

[@jasff69]

Chris.....as The Lone Ranger! Lol. Sorry a meet up did not work out this year after the RV Show. I guess you will be heading north soon and we are heading to the Everglades and Key West next week. Hopefully in AZ next year. Be Safe and Be Well.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

The Lone Ranger!🤣 Actually he did pretty well for his first time. Wishing you guys safe travels. Sounds like a wonderful trip. We'll have to catch up next year.

[@cindygore1756]

We live in between TTO and Lake Louisa, Citrus Highlands. My husband saw Katrina at our Publix. He wasn’t sure it was her until he saw her get into her Jeep. I hope to see you in 2025.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I wish he would have said hi. We are never to busy to stop and chat with everyone. This area has quickly become one of our favorite spots in FL. Take care and thanks for watching. 😊

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Omg!!!🤣🤣🤣

[@brucefranklin6765]

As a Floridian, I remember nothing but orange groves and the Citrus Tower around Clemont in the early 70s. We’re heading to Alaska in May for about 3 months. Maybe we’ll see ya up there!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I remember those orange groves as well when my family visited FL in the 70's. Crazy how different it is now. That would be wonderful. Look out for us on the road in our little class C rv. Safe travels!

[@destinationfulltime]

We had a blast at TTO. Will be back for a few days in early April.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

TTO is such a great place to catch up with old and new friends. Stay safe and have a great time at TTO in April. 😊

[@CoddiwompleTravelers]

TTO is controlled chaos without a doubt. We have grown to love it there. And, OMG the stink bugs! We got them a few times before. We have always talked about stay at eh state park.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Totally agree about TTO. We love it here especially when we get to hang out with our friends. What a blessing it was to be here with you guys and hang out. We are still finding stink bugs!🤣🤪 Safe travels guys!

[@RickLeonard-c4g]

I've watched many RV KZbin videos and don't see the fascination with the parks that are glorified parking lots tto, margaritaville and a few other places are all too close together, packed in like sardines, your neighbors can probably hear everything you do.Lake Louisa, Ft.Desoto is more like it. The video you made where the guy was inches from your rig says it all.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Our site at Southern Palms was wayyyy too close! The newer section at TTO is pretty spacious but we do love a beautiful state park. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

[@bryanwood84]

Thanks for this video it was perfect timing! I was able to score 4 nights at Lake Louisa SP just before next Christmas. We are Sebastian Inlet before here so it worked out GREAT!!! Cheers🍻

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Awesome!! We have yet to stay there but can't wait as it looks beautiful! Safe travels and enjoy your journey. 😊

[@GSMITHRACING]

Pretty sure we will be at fort wilderness december 2025. Hope to see you there! It will be our 5th time to the fort!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Hopefully all works out and we make it there in 2025. We've been there once and had an amazing time.

[@josephsandall1789]

These wonderful people bring their horses to Davie, Florida once a month for handicapped children to ride.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

That is wonderful!! Love that they would do that. 💕

[@justramblinaround]

Hey guys that was a nice looking horse ride yes for sure just an hour. Katrina you looked adorable! OK so we just released a video with Thousand Trails Welch's by Mt Hood we love that one and next Sunday we briefly talked about the one in Seaside Oregon which is OK especially off season and it's a great location to Cannon Beach, Astoria it's a very nice centrally located Thousand Trails. We can help if you need any other ideas or want to put us on a mission we will be visiting a couple this summer. Looking forward to those secret trips your going to be taking gonna be exciting!! Safe travels!!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Watched your last video to TT Welch’s it looked nice. Thanks for the great info. We can definitely use some suggestions as we have never been to Oregon. Thanks for reaching out. Looking forward to your next video. 😁

[@justramblinaround]

We sent Ken a suggestion and at the time didn't think about you guys but if your in the PNW around fall we should for sure meet at Leavenworth Octoberfest that is a big deal. We would want to do it around 2nd weekend in October but we all would want to decide and book soon ut gets booked quick and early. I think you would love it!! Of course obvious places the coast. Mt Rainier, St Helens, Olympic National Forest but the Octoberfest in Leavenworth may not be on your radar but it's pretty ranked one of the best Octoberfest in the USA!! 😊

[@jimestell3853]

Ride 'em cowboy! Nice winery, going to wineries is one of Lyn's favorite things to do. Glad to see you aren't sending stink buds to your neighbors anymore.😁 Think we are going to have 12-18 people here for eclipse next month, wish you were going to be here. As always try to fit a stop over here at the ranch when heading through the midwest.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Lynn and myself (Katrina) need to visit a few of wineries.😃 Yes, next time we'll make a stop at the ranch. Sorry we'll miss the eclipse with you guys. I'm sure it's going to be a lot of fun!

[@teresasprouse1097]

We stayed there at lake Louisa a couple weeks in Jan. Nice park

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We are looking forward to staying there in the future. Nice to hear you enjoyed staying there.

[@edandsharonmoreland]

Bring banana pudding to share in Alaska 😂. We had to buy a new 5th wheel to get rid of the stink bugs.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

I'll have to make you some when we're in Alaska. HaHa, you did not! 🤣🤣🤣

[@blackandgoldbandit7059]

Hey guys! I see you are near Orlando. I'm in Lady Lake, just outside of Ocala. Been here two weeks. I left home on January 3 headed towards Quartzsite and my motor blew a piston. Then headed here to b Lady Lake and the transmission went out. Replaced both with a new one. I'm out $24,000. I think I'm cursed (no not because I'm a Pittsburgh fan). All part of the life I guess. Glad to you guys are enjoying yourselves. Take Care! The Bandit!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We were up that way a few times over the last month. Nice area! Sounds like your have a bit of bad luck. Sorry your having to go through that. You have a good attitude. Safe travels and hope you make it to Quartzsite. If not this year maybe next. Take care until we meet again. 😊

[@KevinCoop1]

If you like wineries, Central Missouri has many of them. The guy that started NAPA valley had a winery here, then went to California.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Will have to check some of those out as we travel through Missouri. Thanks for the information.😊

That would be great but unfortunately we have very little room in our little class C. I guess he won't be getting any homemade deserts. 🤪🤪

[@knemchak]

Is the check-in that busy everyday of the week? We plan on doing a Wednesday check-in. And I don't think they should allow left turning in to the entrance the first half hour or so.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

During high use season everyday is busy. Doesn't matter if it's a weekday or weekend.

[@walescan2514]

Great info . Re stink bugs was the problem in Florida and what could you do . Or if you have one of your video links .thanks

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Thank you. We have been catching them in empty bottles and then throwing them away. No more catch and release.😂

[@sherriweber7105]

It’s sounds like TTO is ridiculous to get into and chaotic and messy all of the above lol! Is that the only one like that? That’s weird they do that. Yum banana pudding. Katrina do you have a recipe you can give me for the pudding? Horse back riding is fun. Looks like a nice state park. I would stay there. Wow! What a nice winery. I’m with you it’s a great park I would miss it too if I wasn’t coming back for a while. Great video!

[@oureverydaygetaway]

It's the only TT that we know of that is a crazy mess getting into. Once your there and settled into your spot it's great. We will try to stay at that state park next time were in FL. Thanks so much for watching! Safe travels!😊

Nice that they had the Covid masks on the horses. Very safety conscious. 👍🏻

LOL!! We were told that two of the horses are sensitivities to light. I guess it's like wearing sunglasses. 😁

​@@oureverydaygetaway they're actually fly mask. We used them on our horses. They appreciate it. Looks like Chris has potential to be a real cowboy. 🤠 Be sure to put Zion & Bryce on your western excursion. Both are phenomenal.

Is TTO only for thousand trail members??

[@oureverydaygetaway]

No, anyone can pay to stay there.

[@markreynolds9570]

TTO process is BS. Needs to go away. Not worth the trouble. Have you actually calculated the cost to be able to stay there? Maximum is only 3 weeks?

[@oureverydaygetaway]

With our membership we can stay for three weeks then leave for a week and come right back for three weeks. It does save us quite a bit of money. The process to get in is ridiculous!

[@SonarTravels]

So, have you ever stood outside a Costco 15 minutes before they opened. Nitpicking one of the reasons why this country has so many issues. Glass houses and all. OOh TTO at 15 minutes before noon. Good for them. For the amount TT charges, the lineup would be eliminated by allowing reserved sites, and a small fee if you don't show up.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

Just an observation on our part and the video is for entertainment purposes only. We totally agree with you on how the problem at TTO could be eliminated with reserved sites and a small fee if you don't show up. Actually put out a video out about that exact thing. It's called "Changes Coming?" Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment.

Thanks... Your drive through the state park as opposed to TTO succinctly contrasted the experiences. We prefer national parks, CoE, state & regional\county\city parks. We have utilized TT via yearly camping passes a couple of times and and gotten our monies worth but it is not our prefered experience. I'm sure your upcoming Alaska trip and travel across the continent will expand your experiences in public parks and campgrounds. Looking forward to your sharing them.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We totally agree about staying at those parks instead of TT's. Unfortunately those parks are hard to get a reservation at during the winter months in FL. Looking forward to staying at more of those type parks while on the road this year. Thanks so very much for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. 😊

[@MoonCricketPandering]

I'm not picking on you guys in particular, Idk you but what is the difference between walking out of your own house and enjoying the outside and walking out of your rv in an rv park, where you are parked closer to other rv's than your home is to other homes? What is the fking point in that? It used to be the destination. Not anymore. Now the sheep all flock to these same areas just to stay in a tiny rv and do exactly what they'd do in their house. Also, it seems rv's now come standard with a you tube channel. I think I'd decline mine. The Kalergi plan is really making fools of its victims.

[@oureverydaygetaway]

We like the sense of community and don't mind parking next to other rigs just not this close. It's about the adventure and travel. True, there are a lot of you tube channels out there. Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment. Safe travels.
