The Thousand Trails Peace River RV Campground<\/a> is one of many subscription 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.<\/p>\n

We chose the Thousand Trails Peace River Campground. The Peace River connects Lake Eustis and Lake Conner and has a water level control dam to make travel more interesting. The campground has a complementary boat dock, lots of shade, and wonderful people.<\/p>\n

Ample campsites scattered among mature trees. Quiet, peaceful, and lots of walking trails along the Peace River. We hope to return soon. Stu wants to kayak the River and Joan is hoping to photograph some antique car races at the Sebring Raceway.<\/p>\n

Our campsite was well within the cluster, surrounded by nothing but trees. Lovely place to camp.<\/p>\n

Joan started the day and ended the weekend with a cold. One of the sleep-losing-hard-to-breathe colds that dragged on, only receding as the weekend ended, but nonetheless we were both able to enjoy the weekend.<\/p>\n

Stu’s goal this weekend was to find a perfect catfish meal. We searched and found the Okeechobee Fish Company<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Our second lunch choice was a nice lunch place called Gater Shack<\/a>. We stopped there after Sebring 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.<\/p>\n
