St George Island State Park - RV Camping

This post is heavily laden with photos. It was our first time back to St George Island State Park since Hurricane Michael. It devastated the dunes near the gulf waters but eventually they will come back.

Me and Aja waiting for Doug to get us checked in at the ranger's station.

This was snapped from inside the moving camper so you can barely see the water.  If you've ever been before you'll remember the dunes were so high you couldn't see to the beach.

This is the opposite side of the road, the dunes will come back!

This is the kitchen inside the camper but I haven't cooked inside at all. We have a Coleman camp stove that is set up outside.

There were beautiful birds all over the campground.  This fellow checked out our table and grill, hopped along the palms and watched us.  Doug saw a towhee a few times too but I don't have a photo.

This water moccasin was determined to get under trucks and into campsites.  He was chased away but ultimately run over when he returned.

Next time we are going in January and the temperatures won't be so awfully high.  Hopefully the insects will be dormant then.   I have to say, the mosquitoes and no-see-ums/midges were unbelievably fierce this trip.  They attacked me like it was their job and I actually looked like I had measles by the time we came home. Doug brought his night vision scope but we never ventured far from the thermacell to see the night sky.

If we sat outside too long Aja would just go to bed.  Nice of her to warm up Doug's side.

Headed home along the coastal road 98.

Someone was needy and had to sit on me.  She is 16 so, she needs babying sometimes.

We will be at Kolomoki in Georgia next week and we're looking forward to that trip.  Coming up will be more grilling posts, hoping for kebabs....love those.

  2. Looks like you're having a wonderful trip - despite the mosquitoes and no-see-ums. Mosquitoes haven't really made an appearance here yet but I know they're coming. I hate them. I love the pictures of Aja! She's having such fun.

  4. What a great trip! No-see-ums are just awful... one year my daughter went home from a visit here with her legs looking like she had measles, too. They bit her more than anyone else. Thanks for sharing your photos with us :)

  6. Looks like a fabulous time for all. I want to live Aja's life. ;-) Mosquitoes and other "biters" always go after me too, they are hitting the backyard already this year--so annoying.

  7. Have fun camping again this week! We are back from a major trip, and appreciate how great it is to go away from home -- and then get back.
