Come Home with a Story - The Swindles

Have you ever felt like there was a campground created just for YOU in a desperate time of need?





We’ve traveled all over the USA with our RV and a few years ago, we found ourselves in a pickle. We had a mechanical issue while on the road that caused a major delay in our pace and travel schedule for that trip. After the roadside repair, we realized we couldn’t make it to our destination — it was late and we were scrambling to try to find a place for the night and regroup.



After searching the region, we happened to find an open site for the night that was so perfect- wide open pull-thru sites that could accommodate our rig and truck and boat and it was close to the interstate. I can still remember pulling in that night and the relief I felt. I call it the “God’s Campground” because I believe God created it for us in our time of need.




A year or so later, we had a flat tire on our boat (we travel separately), and we were 2 hours from that SAME campground. I knew if I could just get there, everything would be fine, so I went on ahead with the camper while my husband stayed and fixed the tire. It’s crazy how this random RV park has been such a place of restoration for us during some crazy travel situations.


We have stayed there several more times and I always reflect back and smile. RV life creates so many memories and stories. And sometimes even the “not so great” moments create such treasured memories. General RV Center wants to give $1000 to someone sharing their story, so be sure to click the link to share yours.
