COUNTRY OAKS CAMPGROUND

We left Savannah on Jan 3rd and moved southward toward the Florida State line. Stopped just 1 mile short of getting into Florida at Kingsland, Ga. We are staying at a campground called Country Oaks Campground. Its a well laid out campground with lots of Oaks, Palmettos and a nice size fishing pond. We stayed one week in what I call transit's row. Every night that area of the park fills up (mostly big diesel pushers) and the next morning they all take off again. People heading for Florida for the winter. The rest of the park are more long term campers, (monthly and seasonal). We liked the park and the people are so friendly, we decided to stay for a month. There is a couple staying here from Lansing, Mi., and another couple from Maine that have made us feel right at home. The whole park of long-term campers makes it feel like a community. They do things together and for each other. Its great and very relaxed. Sam loves to go for swims in the pond chasing a ball. Haven't had much success in getting him BIG AIR yet but we are working on it. Last Sunday they held an open potluck brunch in the large office area of the main building. It had a Mexican theme on the dishes. That was very good! The owners live on the property and they have 2 horses (Spooky & Blackie), a donkey (Jack), and a dog (Trigger, He's a Jack Russell Terrier) that wander anywhere in the park. I mean anywhere. We have walked out the door of the camper and one of the horses might be just the other side of your truck. When they do get up into the camping area Trigger comes along and chases them back towards the barn and pond area, which is where they stay most of the time.

Last friday we took a day trip to Jacksonville, Florida. Mom wanted to look up some quilting shops, looking for material and I hit a RV Supply store for some odd and end camping supplies.
Its only about 15 minutes down I-95. Again, thank goodness for the GPS. but really don't care to go back and fight that traffic again. I guess I'm a country boy!

This is where we will be till Feb 10th.


Very large and pretty main building.

Love the big country porch. It wraps all the way around the building. Nice bathrooms and showers and a clean laundry room.

Our 1st weeks site in transit's row.

The fishing pond and dock area. The pond has a artisan flow. Catfish, Bass and Bluegills in the pond.

Sam after his ball. He just never wants to quit.

What a guy. We are trying for BIG AIR off the dock. The 1st time we tried it, he ran right up to the edge of the dock, came to a dead stop, looked at the ball as it came down out in the pond, did a U turn and ran back up the dock, around the edge of the pond and dove in and went and got his ball. The 2nd time was better, he came to a stop at the end of the dock, but he did leap in. We are working on this. Will keep you all posted on the progress.
Nice paved streets for walking Sam, or that meal off. Three times around the park is a mile.

Our new site for the month. Not much of a move when we changed sites, about 200 yards.

Spooky or Blackie? Not sure which is which. They are never out at the same time.
