Weekend Trip to Renee's Galaxy RV Campground

Renee is a super host! Southern hospitality at its finest! Thoroughly enjoyed meeting her and staying at her property! She let me borrow an adapter and a tarp for my RV. Very quiet and bucolic few acres. I needed propane refill and Renee set me up with a local friend to get some after 2 tries at Uhaul where no one was available to pump. She invited me out for a beer and for a dip in her pool. Would definitely return! Would love to get to know her better!❤️

Nice safe place for our family to stay! No problems getting in or out. Big field for our kids to run around and get some energy out after being in the car all day.
