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!
Check out our Awesome Cabin known as " The Back 20" on Airbnb and Hipcamp!

Wether you are in Daytona for Bike week or Biketoberfest, this campground is sure to keep you entertained. The showers could be better but hey... it's a rally... Check them out here!
If you are a party animal during the rally, this campground offers live entertainment each night included with your camping fee. All campers must be over 21 to utilize this campground and of course, it's a private campground so clothes are always optional! Ha! Buffalo Chip
A great place to camp while visiting the Dragon area! North Carolina welcomes you! Blue Ridge Mountains

Great place for a haul out and do it yourself yard! Not many left! Staff is super friendly and accommodating to your haul out needs. They will let you live on your boat while you fix it nut call ahead!
We were in St Augustine in our travels in November, 2018. We enjoyed staying in our nations oldest city! We have visited before but never stayed on a boat! It was great! Great place to get a mooring ball or anchor. Clean Facilities and nice staff! Lots to see and do!
Can't beat the beauty of the Bahamas! Bimini is usually the first stop for most boats traveling to the Bahamas.
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.
Stop into Allan's cay to visit the large Iguanas, Staniel cay to visit the famous swimming pigs and sunken planes, as well as Normans cay for snorkeling the sunken Planes.
Georgetown is a cruisers delight with many amenities geared towards cruisers as well as a cruisers net every morning on Channel 72! Be sure to park and hike around the monument, Honeymoon beach for private beach time as well as stop in at chat and chill for some grub and rum.
Island Boy has great food right next to the market!
A great secluded place to anchor if you'd like to get away from the masses. Not many cruisers venture farther than Georgetown Harbor but for those that are into adventure, be sure not to miss this Island!
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.
The Caribbean's best hidey hole during the Hurricane season. You will find a wonderful little town here full of sailors from all over the world. The town is welcoming and very helpful to " gringos" coming in to rest for the hurricane season. Many good businesses here and if you can't find something, all you have to do is ask! Great spot to hang your sails and beautiful protected area from hurricanes. Check out Bob and Sues Hotel for a great and cheap spot to stay! Here
