That was so cool seeing him propose to you. 🤗💝💝🤗 We love the Keys too. Another favorite of ours is the Villages in Wildwood. We do have a bigger rig so we have to be careful where we go.
@@AlliChuckAdventures There is a few actually. Just off exit 329 there is a KOA that can handle any size rig you have with plenty of room in each site.
My husband and I met at Ripley’s Believe It or Not in St. Aug in 1989 and got married in the garden there in 1992. This was back when you had match books available for guests and ours said (yes really our names) TOM and Gerri, “Believe It or Not” September 12, 1992
Wow that’s amazing!!! We got engaged on the beach and prob should have gone back and got married there in hindsight. We just love Saint Augustine so much!
All RV sites at Rainbow Spgs have full hookups. In the small town of Dunnellon at the Citrus Grill you can get the best fried pork chops in Florida on Thursdays.
Rainbow Springs is one of my favorites....don't forget about the trails and water falls! Never stayed there at RV park...but looks nice. Thanks for this video. LOVE Cedar Key too!!!
Thanks! I knew it would be something we would want to look back and see. It wasn’t a total surprise as she knew we were going to Saint Augustine to get engaged. She just didn’t know when I would do it. I tried to time it up to the anniversary of our first date and the first moment I picked her up for that date lol.
Hey Chuck & Alli. My wife I came across your channel a couple of months ago and fell in love with you guys! Over the past two months we went back to your first video and binge watched until just catching up! Chuck I have a suggestion for you and Alli. We are an old Louisiana couple old enough to be your parents. We are Cajuns from Southern Louisiana. Chuck you mentioned in a couple videos how frog’s freak you out. Let me suggest you check out this channel called “Dat Louisiana Life”. This couple have a house boat in the marshes of South Louisiana in areas that I myself have fished. They have a couple videos showing them catching frogs at night and cooking same! Also videos of them catching and cooking crabs! I think would really enjoy! Let me know if you check them out and what you think! And Alli: GEAUX TIGERS!! LOL
I had family who lived in New Orleans and I still have a cousin who lives near there in Mississippi. We need to go back and revisit New Orleans again. It’s been a few years now, but we loved it.
Anastasia Island State Park is second to none. Very difficult to get a spot (we booked our spot 11 months ahead) but it's worth the wait. Can't wait to go back.
Stopping by today to let you know we are still alive .... we have been MIA for a few months,,,,, and we will explain later but for now wanted to drop by and drop a like and let you know we really appreciate you staying subscribed while we were MIA----(missing in action) Until we can be forthcoming with the news we will be uploading some videos we took during our travels from last year.....of course it looks real time but in reality the videos will be from 2018 up until March 2019 which coincidentally is when we went offline...we will be trying to catch up on comments this month and we appreciate your patience as we go through ramping back up......Thank YOU!!!
Great video! Like I had said on one of your videos I will be moving to the Tampa area from Chicago and your videos are helping a lot for info and more so for our furry kids. I like to bring the puppies with me on my trips . Thanks
My wife & I just purchased our first RV travel trailer Toy Hauler and are looking forward to travel from Massachusetts down to Florida and other interesting locations. Thanks for sharing your experiences
@@AlliChuckAdventures 2022 Forest River Salem FSX 210RTX. Just picked it up a week ago. Been going through it and learning everything about it. Unfortunately we are getting into the cold season and prepping it for winterization. Looking forward to Spring to adventure out.
Be careful at that boat/kayak launch, we were there two years ago and almost stepped on a giant water moccasin! It had a chunk taken out of it's side and the rangers said it was probably a turtle tried to get it, but it was just chillin right there on the steps... wasn't there when we launched out canoe, but it was there on the steps when we got out of the water!
We really do have nice state parks....but they are all closing now because Dorian. Soooo looks like no camping this weekend for us! We had reservations at a new park for us. :( It's not even gonna hit til later on Monday. Was hoping to at least camp next couple days. Oh well better safe than sorry!

New subscribers here from Ohio. Saw you on videos recently with some of the Ohio RV families we follow. Great content! Look forward to following along for more inspiration as we head toward full time in a year or so.
We have been to 1, 4 and 5. We live just 25 miles from Ft.DeSoto. We’ve owned our current Class C for almost 2 years. There are a lot of great Florida State Parks! We’ll be at Payne’s Prairie in a couple weeks when my wife is off work for her school Spring Break.
I'm a tent camper, so don't know if the RV's have waterfront sites at Ft DeSoto, but those are wonderful. I just found your channel and will be catching up. My favorite park so far, since I haven't been to any Florida beach campgrounds, is Oscar Scherer. Again, waterfront tent spots on the river, including one that has a mini-peninsula jutting into the creek. Loved you boneyard shots. Thanks for stirring up happy memories
@@AlliChuckAdventures , I tent camped half a dozen or so times about 5 years ago. There isn't a bad spot in the campground. There's a creek running through the park, a lake, and your usual, beautiful trails. Scrub jays up the wazoo, and they'll come to you because they've been fed by visitors. I can't address RV sites since I don't have one. Yet :D
Since St. Andrews State park in Panama City Beach didn't show up on this list, I'm guessing you haven't been there. It took a couple of direct hits by hurricanes in the past few years, but it's one of the most beautiful parks we've encountered in all of Florida. The beach is amazing, and the campground has quite a few really nice sites right on the bay. Part of the park is closed for repairs/renovations, but when it's all back opened again, you should definitely take a trip there. We come down from Ohio to camp in different parts of Florida whenever we can and we can't believe a park this nice costs less than $25 a night. Come to think of it, don't go there and do a video. It's already hard enough to book a site!
LOL right! Keep it a secret!!! It’s getting nearly impossible to book sites now a days! The state park on Saint George Island is awesome to up in the panhandle!!! We keep wanting to try Florida Florida caverns state park but it’s still not open from the hurricane. 🙁
Check out Jacksonville's huguenot memorial park. Super quite direct oceanfront park with incredible beach, very secure, and right across from Mayport Naval station. Only 27.00 a night for an RV!
Yes!!! Been there a couple times!!! Loved it and we have a video from last summer while we stayed there. Planning on returning again this summer and bringing our kayak this time too!! You haven’t stayed at Anastasia yet? Oh my! Great beach there and close to downtown historic district!!! Thanks for watching!!!
Once you cross the bridge into key west what happens there stays there . I personally liked key west in the early 90 s all the steel drums playing on the streets were awesome.
Thanks for the great info. I was stationed at JAX Air Station and Mayport Station. I like St. Augustine. I have never been to Key West yet, but I read about Boyd's campground; it is very pricy and less privacy. I will definitely try to get in to Navy campground, $27 for full hook up and $17 for dry camping. Any state park in Key Largo or anywhere else near Key West that you have been to and recommend?
My father in law is former Air Force and if I remember right he’s stayed at that navy campground. He was saying long wait sometimes to get in but it’s great!
Problem with all State parks in Florida is they book up quickly. Many of them you have to book 12 months out to get a spot. Definitely some of the best places to camp in Florida and inexpensive but a pain to book.
Yup and getting harder to get spots nowadays. We do love them though! Always a good idea to check the week of your planned trip as many cancel last minute.
Are you happy with the amount of space you get when camping? I didn’t buy an Rv cause I don’t like to be so close and packed in on the resorts or campgrounds.
Does Florida have a start park pass to get the camp sites cheaper?? Will the American park pass work?? Also I am looking for a park where you tub it and there is a spring out of a rock on the beginning?? When 30 years ago and find it?¿;)
I don’t think there’s any state park pass that gets you cheaper discounts on camping but they do have discounts for seniors over 55 I believe. Which I’m getting very close to lol
Very nice video. Any alligators or crocodiles in those rivers and lakes. Which is the best time to visit to avoid the awful humidity. We're want to take a cross country trip from California to Florida, maybe in October pending the delivery of our new motorhome which is on order and there's not date yet. Thanks I just subscribed.
Yeah there’s a chance of gators in the fresh water anywhere here! Haven’t seen but a couple over the years. Florida is best between November through March. But also very busy campgrounds during those times too. 😀 thank you!
Can (any of) you guys tell me what you think the pros of camping is vs hoteling? I live in the Midwest, so if I had a camper, I'd have to stress my car and tow the camper for at least 2 days. Why not stop by at a hotel instead?
Personally for us we enjoy the journey of driving and having our “own” bed and home with us. We also LOVE sitting outside next to a nice campfire of the evening and the whole experience of being in nature. Hotels are nice to when you just want to visit a town or attraction and sometimes we even do that. But we just love the whole RV lifestyle. Hope that helps. 😊
AlliChuck Adventures thanks. Do you find it costs less overall for an RV vs hotel? Also, I don’t really have a good option of storage for an RV when not in use. That’s a bummer too.
No I would not say it is cheaper. Some RV parks can run well over $50 per night. That’s just kind of on average. Like where we are now in the keys it would be over $100. Unless you get state parks. Which is what we prefer. Those are usually around $25 a night and here in the Keys about $50
If you want to stay at a Cracker Barrel or any of the businesses that allow free overnight parking do you have to call in advance to get permission? Or do you just park and hope they don’t ask you to leave?
Usually on the Allstays App there will be reviews that people have written about that. I think we've only ever called once and once I emailed the manager of a Bass Pro before we left on our trip knowing that was where we would want to stop roughly.
Just found your channel. Are you based in Florida? We just bought our entry into RVing 4/5/20. Other than our 1st nights we are only camping within our area to "learn from our mistakes". Hope to get to some of these soon.
@@AlliChuckAdventures we bought from RV 1 a Rockwood Geo Pro 19FD.2020. Was over at Lazy days to look at a Winnebago Hike, but they couldnt gett the side to come out. So we said we would come back. And went to RV1. They had the Jayco Hummingbirds which we wanted to see. But when my wife walked into the Geo Pro she said this is it.

Yup we just got a bigger one too and now having to really watch the size of the sites. The Villages have a campground? That sounds cool!
@@AlliChuckAdventures There is a few actually. Just off exit 329 there is a KOA that can handle any size rig you have with plenty of room in each site.

Was over at Lazy days to look at a Winnebago Hike, but they couldnt gett the side to come out. So we said we would come back. And went to RV1. They had the Jayco Hummingbirds which we wanted to see. But when my wife walked into the Geo Pro she said this is it.
Awesome! I’ll check that model out. Friends of ours just bought a coachman Carolina explorer.

Fort Desoto is a Pinellas County park, not a state park.
Oh... did not know that. I always just thought it was a state park. Love that place though!!!
What month was it when you encounter the mosquitoes???
I believe that was September. But that was only on that island. But she’ll mound campground during summer months can be bad for no see ums too
@@AlliChuckAdventures thanks for the info. Would it be safe to assume winter (Jan-March) are free of mosquitoes & others ?
Yeah it’s beautiful time there! And gets quite chilly on the water. 😁
Walk Up Florida State Parks... Is there a best time of day to get a walk up site?
Early as you can. We’ve had luck as later as noon.
Good vid. More Alli and less Chuck in the future. She's super hot.
I couldn’t agree more!!!! 😁
Best choice would be to stay away from Florida.
Haha
