The Thousand Trails Peace River RV Campground is one of many subscriptioon campgrounds offered for a fixed fee (often free) to members. Our subscription was a “gift” from the sales team where we purchased our new Motor Home.
Ample campsites scattered among mature trees. Quiet, peaceful, and lots of walking trails along the Peace River. We hope to return soon and Stu wants to Kayak the River.
Joan started the day and ended the weekend with a cold. One of the sleep-losing-hard-to-breath colds that dragged on, only receeding as the weekend ended.
Stu’s goal this weekend was to find a perfect catfish meal. We seached and found the Okeechobee Fish Company with 4.9 stars and the perfect catfish. Having found our “place” for late Friday lunch, Stu dutifully entered it in Google Maps and was directed to a small town called Catfish, miles from nowhere.
After missing the perfect place, we had a short, interesting stop at the Sebring Raceway. They had a scheduled classic car race during the weekend, but organizing the RV and recovering from the cold took precedence.
Our second choice was a nice lunch place called Gater Shack. We stopped there after Seebring for a quite good lunch. We both had fresh salads, Joan had a Chef’s Salad with Shrimp and I had a house salad with gater bites. Tasty lunch, but still looking for the perfect catfish.
Our new motorhome gave us a tour of the campground. They do not assign sights so we got to choose from the remaining spaces. We were quite satisfied but the site had somewhat of a hill that took a bit of adjustment. We solved the problem by inserting leveling blocks under the front wheels.
I don’t know how people do this after they learn the correct way.
Monday was a weather threatening day. Joan correctly predicted that if I unhooked early I couild avoid getting drenched. Maybe I’ll listen next time.
Being Sunday, the excellent Catsfish places were all closed. So we settled for Pogey’s at 4.2 stars. It would have to improve significantly to be poor. Joan’s salad was a mix of over ripe tomatoes and wilted lettuce. The chicken toping was OK, but a bit dry.
My catfish was a hadfuls of Okeechobee Catfish fingers with a nondescript breading. Some were hot and some were cold, but I was hungry. The cole slaw was overly sweek (they did say it was sweet slaw) and the tater tots (how can you ruin tater tots), were from a heat lamp tray and not the to hot to touch I expected.
Even with the rain, the easy to drive motorhome hook us home in strong and gusty winds.
