State campgrounds are by far one of our favorite places to stay and our go to spots. Not only are they usually well maintained with nice facilities but you help support local wildlife and wild areas by paying your park entrance and or camping fee!  We always check State park websites first! Here's a list of all our favorites that we have personally stayed at!

We randomly encountered this website and it's great! Find reviews of campgrounds nearby and the map version works great to compare to your location and how far you need to go. Try it here!

You've probably heard of Airbnb, but if you haven't you must try it! Take your vacation to the next level by living like a local in a local's house with all the amenities of home. Much better and more private than a hotel, plus you usually have a kitchen to make your own meals which is a huge savings! Another bonus? You can rent homes with bedrooms so that if you have kids or friends accommodating you, you can each have the privacy of your own room while saving renting a home rather than a few rooms at a hotel. Be sure to always read reviews but this is by far better than a hotel! Try it here!

VRBO stands for Vacation Rental by Owner. This is also another site like airbnb where you can rent great vacation homes directly from the owner most times. Again, be sure to always read reviews and also take all reviews with a grain of salt. Not everyone will always be happy so always go with your gut! try it here!

Hipcamp is another great place to find great camping spots! Has a great map version as well. Try it here!

Best things in Bimini:

 Bimini Blue water Marina is a great place to check in to the country and get your bearings set for the rest of the  Bahamas. They even allow dogs!

Be sure to check out the dolphin house, scour the beach for sea glass, and visit Big mike at his stand for some Bahamas style Conch salad. Its Yummy! Plenty of great snorkeling in the area, the town of Bimini is welcoming with it's small town atmosphere.

The Berry Islands Bahamas is another great stop in your Bahamas loop. Stop into Great Harbor Cay for some supplies and then onto Soldiers Cay, Hoffman's Cay, and the beautiful secluded Berry islands. Don't forget to check out Hoffmans Blue Hole! It's amazing!

The Exumas are pure beauty. From the beautiful turquoise water to the absence of most people and cities as you know it, the Exuma Islands boast beauty beyond what you can imagine.

Another secluded out island of the Bahamas, this quiet little town doesn't have much but it is quiet and peaceful.

After sailing across the Thorny path to the Dominican Republic, we were pleasantly welcomed to the D.R. in Manzanillo.

A quaint little town on the border of Haiti is where we checked into the Dominican Republic. Check in took a little bit of time but was very easy and welcoming, and the officials were pleasant. There is a decent anchorage here to anchor and do your check in process. The small town was welcoming and friendly locals will help you with anything you ask. Don't want to walk? Take a motoconcho here! Usually about 50 pesos.

This anchorage was nice although a bit rolly at times, We also had our dingy stolen off the back of our boat here in the middle of night. This town is within floating distance to Haiti. Do your due diligence when stopping here to secure your things, especially your dingy as a few have been stolen in the past as well. Otherwise nice friendly town and the locals were helpful in helping us look for our stolen dingy. Check out the restaurant here by the water. Good food and very nice Owner! 

Very small town with beautiful surrounding waters. Good place to anchor and hit the beach and water, just watch out for the reefs! Friendly little town which also hosts day excursions to a small paradise like island by yolk is a great spot to stop and relax. Have Pizza and Scones at Linos.

Cambiaso is not a great overnight anchorage but it's a popular spot for a day sail amongst the local sailors traveling from Luperon as a way to get out sailing for the day to get out of the bay to stretch your hurricane legs.

A great place to stay on your boat and also get some work done on the hard. This Marina is great for a haul out with a great do it yourself boat yard at a reasonable price. Professional staff and equipment for your boating needs. You can also stay on the boat while you work onit or they have rooms for an additional cost. Biggest thumbs up from us is that they allow you to work on your own boat.
