Little Manatee River State Park to Peace River Preserve

We had another short driving day - only about 50 miles. After stopping at the dump station to empty our tanks, we left Little Manatee River State Park around 11:00 this morning.

We traveled south on US-301 to SR-62 and then east to US-17. After driving about 5 miles south on US-17 we reached Peace River Preserve a little after noon. Peace River Preserve is a Thousand Trails campground. This will be our first stay at a Thousand Trails campground since purchasing our membership earlier this summer.

We stopped at the Peace River Trading Post to check-in. We will be here for a week. Our camping fee for the week covered by our dues, but there is a $3 a day resort fee here. We were given a map of the campground and we disconnected the car from the RV, so we could drive around and pick out a campsite. After driving around and looking at a number of the empty sites, we decided on site #F2. We returned to the office to let them know which site we had chosen.

After we finished checking in and receiving the security code for the gate, we headed over to our campsite. We have full hook-ups with 50 amp electric. One reason we chose site F2 is because of the trees on the west side of the site - they will help shade us in the afternoon. We don't have a paved patio, but the site is grass covered and fairly level.
