Wife and I purchased a travel trailer last year and we began slowing venturing out.

We started at Guntersville State Park last year since it's so close to us. Here's a few pics from our first trip before I got the new Taco.

 

Last weekend, we made the 90 mile trip up to Tim's Ford State Park. Many sights are small and I'm not sure there's any sewage hook ups but for only two nights its not a problem. They have a dump station on the way out. There's some great bike/walking trails. I did some off road bike trails that kicked my butt and it was great.

Whenever we are up that way, eating at One22West in Tullahoma is a must.

These pics are from late March 2023:

 

We just got back from a trip to Tallulah falls Georgia. Stayed at the Terrora camp ground in Tallulah gorge state park. Really nice place close to a lot of beautiful places.

You can see some pics in of it in this thread https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/alabama-thread.37848/page-8707#post-28579437

 

Funny, your post in that thread inspired me to start this thread.

 

Thats awesome, glad I could be of inspiration. Maybe it will take off and we will have a compiled list of great campgrounds in the southeast.

How does your truck handle that camper?

 

Maybe it will.

Short answer: the 2023 Taco does pretty well. The camper is pretty light with a dry weight of 3400lbs. Our loaded weight when we went over the scale last weekend is 4020 lbs on the rear axle when hooked up and using a HDH. Here's a thread I started with more details if your interested.

Lots of good info. The wife has been looking at small campers like yours, Might be buying on in the next year or so

 

We got an amazing deal buying in August last year(bought a new 2021 model). We drove 2 hrs to Opelika to get it but saved $8k over what the local place had listed. August seems to be when the new models come out.

 

Cloudland Canyon and The Stone Door in TN are great too!

 

We went to Cloudland Canyon several years ago for the day and really enjoyed it..... now we gotta check it out through the eyes of campers.

Haven't heard of Stone Door.

Thanks for suggestions.

 

Mount Eagle up in TN. It’s a beautiful place!

 

Is there a camp ground there? We will do some mild boondocking but our camper isn't really the off road type.

Also Stone Door looks amazing. Is there a camp ground in that area that you know of?

 

We mostly primitive camp. I’ll check.

 

And the Stone Door is in South Cumberland Park. I don’t think they have RV stuff there.

 

Those both look super nice. We like our queen size bed with memory foam topper so primitive camping isn't something we will likely get into anymore. LOL. I did have some amazing camping experiences when I was younger. I do realize we our limiting our adventures and there are time I wish we would have bought a camper that could handle some mild off-roading. But we are enjoying what we have.

 

We’re gonna backpack primitive camp until we can’t anymore. Some of the most beautiful places to see can only be reached by foot. When we can’t backpack camp anymore, we’ll get a camper! Lol

 

Sounds like a great plan. Don't let the old man in.

 

Old is a state of mind!

 

Cool thread. Always looking for places to camp. Now I just need the time to go.

 

You gonna have to join us sometime Jeff. The last year or so has been crazy and we don’t ride or camp like we used to, but that’s gonna change this year!
