RV Camping at Alley Creek Camp on Lake O’ the Pines, Texas
Hey folks,
We took our Retro 189R travel trailer to another beautiful Texas campground, Alley Creek Camp. This Army Corps of Engineer campground is about twenty-five minutes south east of Daingerfield, Texas (where we witnessed the 04/08/2024 total solar eclipse). Our site, E110, had a great view of Lake O’ The Pines. During our stay we did a site walk around and a complete campground drive thru of Alley Creek Camp and as you will see it has RV camping, tent camping, hiking, boating and fishing. Its a really nice campground with a peaceful, laidback family atmosphere.
We hope you enjoy our video and find it helpful as well as entertaining. :D

    I think that you might be able to hang the bikes unfolded with covers (one each side) on the outside of your truck bed. There are a lot of very talented guys out there that could weld something up for you that could hook over the side and that could be secured on the inside of the bed. Use horse blankets or 1/4" rubber floor matting to protect your truck. (Order at Big R or Tractor Supply.) Not sure if practical but just a thought. You might just start a trend!

      Hey Margaret. No, not really. We only use the generator in a well ventilated area, being sure the generator exhaust is drifting away from the camper. We also have a multi gas sensor in the camper that will let us know if there area any gases in the camper. To be clear, we keep the generator outside of the camper. :) Great question!!👍 Thank you Margaret for the question and thanks for watching our video too. Mike and Angel

    Great video of the park. ....But I miss the old upper rv Campground before they modernized all the site's. You mentioned how you liked the big rocks placed at some site's. Well, that's exactly what I miss because almost all the sites had a very secluded feel with big rocks that looked natural. Like you were camping in an area in a forest. The bath house was old stone building like the tower and lodge. As a Alabama boy just 1-1/2 hours away it was and still our mtn. get away. The old shot gun house across the road from the store was the store and check in for the park. I believe it's now and still a laundry house now.

In addition to the Mountain Bikes you are allowed to ride your regular bike or electric bike on any of the roads you traveled in your truck. It makes for us a great ride on our Lectric bikes. We live in Franklinton where you drove through. The Washington Parish Free Fair is always the 3rd week of October and we have had as many as 300,000 people come into our town for it. The first Saturday night of December you can come into town and see the largest lighted Christmas parade on the Northshore. I was blessed to have began the parade in 2019 and I have now turned it over to another very capable lady. Also the first weekend in June we have the Washington Parish Balloon Festival. Come join us!!!! I have watched several of your videos but did not know you lived in Louisiana. From the accent I kind of figured LOL.

    Before booking a site in a campground I've never visited, I always look for videos. Thankful to have found yours. I actually had your site, E110, down as a possibility and was hoping to find if it had shade, which is still difficult to tell. We will only be there one night as we pass through, but since I have options of sites I try to choose the best. How is late afternoon and early morning sun on 110? We will be there next week. Also that hill with large stone build-up could be problematic for my elderly blind dog. Also considering E217 in the other loop. It may be better for our needs, and I appreciate you show it on your video too. It's also closer to a bath house, it seems. We will be in our bathroom-less T@B this time, the bigger sister to the little T@G teardrop you talked about. Thankful for additional feedback, if you have any.

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey C Baker. For site E110, the sun should be behind the trees in early morning and afternoon. Its a nice site but it will be in a lot of sun. Jilly, our camping dog, did have a little difficulty with the rocks alone the site too. Also, E110 is a good walk from the bath house. You mentioned E217, I think you are right, it may be a much better choice for your needs. In a lot of shade and closer to the bath house. Angel and I set out a few years ago to get a tear drop, it was all we needed for our hiking trips. Then we sat in the 189R,lol, now we own it.😄 I hope this reply is helpful, Alley Creek is another nice COE campground.

      Hey Benny. You're right around the corner from Wallace Creek then, Awesome!! Even though we got a late start on reservations for Wallace Creek we enjoyed the site we had. Its a nice town and a nice campground. We were glad the water levels were up too. Next time we're in that area we'll stop by the Catfish Hut, that's the sort of place we enjoy eating in.😀 Thanks, Benny, for the information and thank you for watching our video too!

      Hey Shaun. We have a few trips planned for the year, we plan to book a few more a little further north, maybe North Mississippi or Alabama. Some place the leaves change colors a bit. We've been in the Ellijay area a few times. The last time we were there we stopped in we grabbed a case of Apple Butter at R & A Orchards. Y'all have fun Shaun, it sounds like its gonna be a fun year for y'all. Thanks, Shaun, for watching our video! Happy Trails & Happy Camping! Mike and Angel

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey Kyle. Let me tell you, thats a hard choice to make!! In time we plan to go back to both Page and Durango. I think maybe a week in each place would be ideal. There are so many awesome things about both places. For example, "The Million Dollar Highway" is well worth the trip. Then again, rafting the Colorado River was so much fun!. I just don't know what to tell you, lol. Toss a coin and make the best out of where ever you stay. Good luck Kyle and we hope you enjoy every bit of wherever it is you go. Both places are AWESOME!😀😀 Thanks Kyle for watching our video! Happy Trails & Happy Camping! Mike and Angel

    I stumbled onto this product a couple years ago with trying to clean our awning and I will say it does work very well. I tried the way overpriced "awning cleaner" from the dealer which is nothing more than bleach and this product did a lot better getting 95%of the mold and stains off the awning and all I did was hose off the awning, let it dry for a few minutes then took a small pump sprayer and sprayed the awning and rolled it up and let it sit for about 20-30 minutes then unrolled and used a carwash brush on a pole to lightly scrub and when I hosed it off it looked brand new again. Some of the product did get on the side the 5th wheel and I saw how much crud came off so decided to spray the whole rv down but I went 3 parts water to 1 part LA Awesome and it took all the streaks and dirt off then I followed up with spray polish/sealer and the shine was better than new! I only use this pre and post season but if you follow it up with a wax/sealer the streaks are very minimal and usually come right off during regular washes.

    • @RetroRVRecon
      @RetroRVRecon 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hey J and B Thank you very much for letting me know about the awning. We were using the "Awesome" stuff today on some outdoor items and still appreciate how well it works. I'm glad to hear you used it on the awning. Next time I wash our retro I'll use it on the awning too. Its time for a wax job too (all day job! 😳😄 Thank you for watching our video.

      Hey Guybrush. It is a nice place. We used to take our little boat their every so often. We hear they're doing some upgrades on the RV section, we haven't seen it yet and I hear they plan to reopen that section in fall of this year. As you probably saw, it has a lot of room for bike riding (ebike or pedal). And... the big plus for us is that it isn't too far from home. Thanks, Guybrush, for watching our video!

    This yr in my area there was cloud cover so the eclipse could not be seen - I've seen two eclipses in the past - living in a rural area even when there is cloud cover all the cattle will head to the trees they stay next to and settle as for the evening as a eclipse passes over - For live stock as an eclipse starts it's the end of the day and the milk cows head for the born and the bulls head under the trees to settle down for the night - but with a eclipse by the time the cattle settle down there back up and on the move after a few minutes when the sun brightens back up lol -

    At the Mile Branch Settlement, the buildings were donated. SYLVEST-MAGEE HOUSE is from my relatives. I moved away years ago. I am trying to figure exactly where the State Park is located. Like who sold their property. The Fair has had a lot of fanily time of generations gone by. I had cousins that showed livestock. One rodeo, the bull got loose and men on horses went after it before it got to the Carnival Rides. That was in 1979/80. Jim Henson was there. Our baby loved Kermit the 🐸.

      Hey Mae. I bet its a cool feeling to know your family is a part of the town's history! I would have enjoyed watching men on horseback round-up a big bull!! Next time they have the fair I think we'll make a special trip that way, it would have been fun to see Kermit, but I think it will still be fun. 😄 Thanks, Mae, for watching our video!!
