South Bay RV Campground







We arrived here on May 27 for 4 days to get through Memorial day week end. This is a really nice county park. Well cared for and all asphalt RV spaces, well spaced, 50 amp electric and full hookups. I rate this park F****. We paid $26.50 per night. Not much happening around this area of Florida. I was able to relax and watch the afternoon to evening thunderstorms come through daily. We took a ride to Ft. Lauderdale yesterday but the beaches there were not dog friendly. There was a festival going on and parking was $25 to $30. We elected to pass on that. The water was a beautiful emerald green color and we took the scenic route on A1A which took us along the coast and some humungus estate homes. One house was recently listed for $75 million and needed $25 million to finish it. It is a good thing the economy is slow and prices are down 50% - 80% in Florida now. I guess we will be happy with our humble abode for now. Just before leaving Ft. Lauderdale we found this great doggie park with a huge fenced dog run and a separate lake for dogs to go swimming. Most lakes we have to keep our distance with Buddy because of the allegators. Buddy was having a ball. I defrosted the fridge yesterday, uugh. Today we went to mass at a really nice church in the next town over and then tried to drive along Okeechobee lake. This is the largest lake in Florida, but it looks more like a swamp to me with a river surrounding it. Tomarrow we are headed for the Keys and are really looking forward to this trip accross this long bridge into the atlantic ocean.
