March 15, 2011 – Travel to Abbeville and Betty’s RV Park

 Here was our little spot at the Intercoastal Park – notice the barge making its way along the waterway:

And we headed east along mostly back roads   We think these are rice fields:

We arrived in Abbeville at lunchtime at Betty’s RV Park.  What an experience.   We have read so much about Betty’s and heard so much about it that we had to stop.  The park is small – only 17 spaces – but Betty is very friendly.  She made us feel like we were home.   And her friendliness rubs off on the people who camp there.   We met a group of people from Illinois and talked with them this afternoon.   Then at 4:30, Betty has Happy Hour on her porch where we met so many more people – including new Boomers, Nancy and Jim, who are also from PA.   After Happy Hour, we all (25 of us) went to one of the local restaurant for a great steak dinner special – Yum!

We were definitely be back to this park when we can stay a while.  We were told that Mardi Gras time here is the best!

Tomorrow we head to New Orleans so stay tuned!

I am surprised you only stayed one day at Betty's! Isn't it just the most amazing place? We booked for three nights and ended up staying a week! And had a wonderful time.
