In order to have a place to go to while rving, we decided to have a few memberships to campgrounds so that we can plan a year in advance on where we are going to be and know that we will be able to stay for our 2 weeks at a time. Richard already had an Outdoor World membership so we could go up to Lancaster, PA and to Dover, PA. We could also visit other Outdoor World (ODW) campgrounds up and down the East Coast. Richard had a Coast to Coast membership which let us stay in Myrtle Beach, SC. In 2006 we bought a deeded lot membership down in Davenport, FL and in 2007, we bought a Thousand Trails (TT) membership in Clermont, FL. ODW campgrounds have allowed us to make some near and dear friends and have let us meet other fellow campers. We would travel between ODW Gettysburg Farm and ODW Circle M, which is about 40 miles apart. We would travel between the both of these resorts during the summer time. It would allow us to visit family down in Maryland and visit our family doctors. In 2004 we bypassed a rv resort in the panhandle of Florida, Sunset King Rv Resort, while on our way to 
Texas. We liked it so much that on our way back from Texas we stopped by this resort and actually bought a membership. It is strickly a membership resort and we have met some of the best rvers there. It actually became a second home. Rvers from all over the US came down during the winter season. Some full time rvers don't plan where they are going or where they are going to stay but we like to plan and know where we are going to be. On Dec. 31, 2007 we gave up our ODW membership because down in the Clermont area (Walt Disney World), ODW didn't know what was going on or where their campground was going to be. Being that we are here for several months while we work for Disney, we couldn't afford to travel too far away from the Disney area. Now we just have TT and Deer Creek memberships which work out for us. We don't plan on driving all the way to Pennsylvania for a long time, gas prices.

Anyway, memberships is a great way to make sure that you have a place to go. Most memberships work as 2 weeks in and 1 week out. So while down in Florida, Disney area, we travel 14 miles between TT and Deer Creek every 2 weeks.
While visiting all these resorts, we have meet lots of cool people. Bob and Glenda, Bob and Rosie, Bob and Donna, Russ and Susan, Bob and Linda, Lois and Doug. There are so many names associated with Sunset King that I can not name all of them but all of you are recognized and loved. Bob and Glenda are our on the road "mom and dad". Bob and Donna are around our age, which is nice, and are from around the Dundalk area, where we both grew up. Bob and Rosie we met through Bob and Donna and Bob and Glenda.
There is another campground called Big Water Rv Resort in SC along I-95 just above Lake Marion. It is a very nice campground but it is a membership resort but if you belong to Coast to Coast, then you can stay in there for 2 weeks. We have stayed there several times on our trip from Florida to Pennsylvania and back to Florida again.
