About Me

I travel, write, photo, experience, learn. I’m a wanderlust addict and prefer the window seat — be it on a plane or in the R-Pod. Relocated to Raleigh in 2016 after nine years in Seattle, but still a Detroiter at heart. Next destination: wherever.

St. Augustine, Florida has FREE RV parking! Read b St. Augustine, Florida has FREE RV parking! Read below to find out where and the details. 

We loved St Augustine. First, the city is super dog friendly, with many restaurants and bars allowing pets on the patio, and some of the non-food venues allow pets inside. While the fort does not allow dogs inside, dogs are allowed on the property outside. Plus, dogs are allowed on most beaches and at the Fountain of Youth park. 

We explored for the day, checked out shops, had lunch, watched boats, walked a ton... And the RV was in a free lot.

Check out 1 Ribera St. It has free day parking for vehicles and RVs. It's just a few blocks further than most of paid lots. This is a day use lot only. However for $35 a night you can buy a parking pass that allows for overnight parking -- but not sleeping. So if you plan to sleep in your rig overnight be super stealth.

We found this adorable first come, first serve cam We found this adorable first come, first serve campground in Del Rio, Texas on the Amistad Reservoir. No hook up, but water was next to our site and the campground has pit toilets. It's managed by NPS, and was only $10 per night when we visited. Great cell coverage but it's only a mile or so away from the local border patrol office, and ICR rolled through about five times per day -- which was a little daunting.
