RV Lifestyle Gatherings back on for New Orleans and California

| Updated Jan 22, 2019

OK, the RV Lifestyle gatherings are back on, this time without corporate sponsorship but organized by our own members, much as happened with our recent winter campout in the snow-covered Upper Peninsula of northern Michigan.

What does that mean?

It means you book your own spot and show up and know that you will be camping and hanging out with other members of the RV Lifestyle community. As always, campers in any kind of RV or towable trailer or even tents are welcome!

Here are the details, with a special thanks to Lisa Gruner and Mary Jane Curry for stepping up to make sure these gatherings happened after the Erin Hymer Group – preoccupied by some corporate issues – had to drop out of their organizing role. Better book fast to get your spot!

An RV Lifestyle New Orleans Gathering – March 21-25

Join us for a gathering n RV Lifestyle gathering March 21-25 where we will discover some of New Orleans oldest and newest traditions – and make some of our own! History, music, art, culture, food, voodoo; the Big Easy has it all, and we’re going to do our best to see it all or maybe just relax at the campground!

RV Lifestyle Gatherings back on for New Orleans and California 1We will be camping at Bayou Segnette State Park, just a twenty-five minute drive across the Mississippi River to New Orleans. All sites will have water and electrical hook-up, and there is a dump-site, shower, bath facilities and even free laundry on site. Bayou Segnette has something for everyone – fishing, canoeing, hiking, bird-watching, and an ecosystem that shows off plants, trees and wildlife from both swamp and marshland. 

This event is planned to fill the void after Roadtrek canceled their New Orleans event. Without Roadtrek’s sponsorship for the event, we make our own reservations and there aren’t any planned group activities such as tours. So all activities will be our responsibility. There isn’t a fixed schedule although plans are in the works to do a potluck (maybe a crawfish boil?) or two, identifying places to book tours, ferry trips into New Orleans, local spots to visit, and so much more.  Some of the plans depend on how many folks book a site.  So stay tuned.

The New Orleans Gathering is open to all those who reserve a site at the campground whether you camp in a Class A, Class C, Class B, tent, or whatever! And as of January 21st, we have 19 rigs signed up.  Don’t you want to join us?

You can reserve your site at: – https://www.reserveamerica.com/camping/bayou-segnette-state-park/r/campgroundDetails.do?contractCode=LA&parkId=240020

Be sure to post in comments below to let Lisa Gruner know your site number.  That’ll help with logistics later on especially when we set up a private Facebook group for participants.

An RV Lifestyle Pismo Beach Gathering – May 2-6, 2019

Join us May 2-6 in Pismo Beach, California for a RV Livestyle gathering in Pismo. Private spaces are available for a casual get together – no group sponsoring, no host, no scheduled events or meals but lots of fun to be had together!

RV Lifestyle Gatherings back on for New Orleans and California 2Relax in luxury at the beautiful Pismo Coast Village RV Resort, where you’ll enjoy full hook-ups -electrical, water and sewer service. Mini-golf, shuffle-board, ping-pong and horseshoe pits are all available onsite, along with a swimming pool, bicycle rentals and an onsite laundromat. There’s even an arcade for those of you who have yet to conquer the elusive Pac-Man.

This event is planned to fill the void after Hymer canceled their Pismo Beach event.  Mary and Jeff Curry have booked a site and there may be spaces still available if you hurry and reserve a space at Pismo Coast Village RV Resort (1-888 RV Beach or 1 805 773 1811 or http://reservations@pismocoastvillage.com) filling in the spaces vacant now that were reserved for the Gathering. Call and make your reservations quickly as this is a popular RV park and an amazing weekend to be on the Central Coast.

This would be a casual get together, no scheduled classes, demos or etc. It will be a time to visit, hang out and see this beautiful area! The vintage VW campers will be in town, local wine tasting, Farmers Market in Avila and much more to see and explore. If you are interested act quickly! This is a NO host event!

Send  a note in comments below if you make reservations and Mary Jane Curry will plan some fun together! Although this is a casual explore on your own gathering it will be fun. Some Potlucks and Social hours are planned. Come join the leisure time by the surf and sand. Send me your e mail and I'll start a Facebook page for attendees.

This Gathering is open to all those who reserve a site at the resort whether you camp in a Class A, Class C, Class B, etc so basically whatever the resort allows! Don’t you want to join us?

Just called the Pismo Beach RV Park to reserve my spot at the gathering in May. Glad to hear this gathering is back on again as I had booked earlier then got notice of the cancellation and refund. The lady who processed my booking was not aware of the gathering, so not sure if my reserved spot is one of the allotted sites for the gathering.
