We left Low Key Hideaway last Thursday and headed east and a little north to Welaka Lodge and Resort, (www.welakalodge.com) in Welaka, Florida. The weather was perfect, sunny skies and cool temperatures. After one stop for lunch we arrived arrived 1400. The office was closed but a work camper told us to set up and pay later.
We're in site # 9 with the sun on our patio in the afternoon. That helps keep us warm when Jim leaves the awning up. There are 15 RV sites here and 5 cottages. The sites are 'grassy' with a cement pad for the patio and each site has a picnic table.
On Thursdays they have a pot luck dinner around 1800 and we were invited. We met most everyone but remembering names at this time isn't an option! I'm horrible with names. There was a big campfire and because it was cold that's where we sat most of the time. The food and drinks were set up in the outside kitchen/dining area next to the pool. I'll get some pictures of this because I think it's super!
We've settled in, even drove around a bit making a grocery run into Palatka and Jim got some propane down the road. This is not a tourist destination unless you're into boating and fishing. Just a laid back, old Florida type of campground.

This cottage overlooks the Saint Johns River
The Tiki Bar is on the river with docks that you use...but it isn't open! Not sure if this is good or bad....
There are a lot of old oaks just dripping with Spanish Moss! Also palm trees and orange trees that I've been getting some tasty oranges from
Even though the day we arrived was chilly there was a guy fishing and this lady just bundled up enjoying the view
We're here until the end of February and I for one am enjoying it so far
