Are you a camper?
We are and love it!
With cooler weather, hiking, and amazing views, our favorite place to go is the North Carolina Mountains. So we have packed the car and the camper, settled Ellie-Mae in the suburban, and hit the road!
This is our home away from home.
There are two entries into the camper.
The door to the left leads into the living and kitchen area and the door to the right is the entrance to the bedroom.
There is an awning that comes out to shade the main entry door area and under the awning we place weather proof carpet, table and chairs, and other things for an outdoor lounging area.
A rack goes on the back bumper for our bicycles. Ellie-Mae loves riding in the handlebar doggie basket. She's the cutest thing and folks sure get a kick out of seeing a pup riding by.
Now for the inside...
To the left, as you enter the door to the living area, there are two swivel rockers with a center console table and storage above. The mound of pink is Ellie-Mae’s bed and some of her toys.
To the right, as you enter the door, begins the kitchen counters with upper and lower cabinets.
Straight ahead, as you enter, is a couch and just to the right is the dining area. With storage above and below they both also open for additional sleeping areas.
The end wall offers more storage and an area for the television.
The couch and dining areas are part of the camper's slide-out which makes the camper more spacious. If the slide-out was closed, the couch and dining area would move inside the camper completely covering the television area. That whole section slides inside the camper for traveling.
Straight across from the couch and eating area is the kitchen. The sink is set diagonally on the main counter area. To the right of the coffee pot, as you enter the camper, there are lower cabinets and drawers on the right.
The upper cabinets, above the coffee maker and to the right of the sink, are accessible as you enter the camper and also from above the sink.
The fridge and freezer are to the left of the microwave, stove and oven. To the left of the fridge is a pantry with slide out shelves, two drawers and a lower cabinet. For a camper, this kitchen has a lot of storage.
Just past the living area and kitchen is the bathroom.
For privacy there are pocket doors; one just behind the pantry and the other is just past the shower as you enter the bedroom.
In the bathroom to the right is an upper mirrored cabinet for hanging clothes, two drawers and a lower cabinet. The shower is in the corner.
Across from the shower is a sink with storage beneath, a medicine cabinet above and the commode area.
Through the bathroom is the master bedroom with a queen size bed and an area for Ellie-Mae’s crate. On both sides of the bed are mirrored cabinets for hanging clothes.
Just above the bed is a shelf, cabinets for more clothes storage and the bed lifts up for additional storage. The second entry/exit door is to the far right. We enjoy leaving it open at night, with the screen door closed, to enjoy the cool mountain air.
This camping site is private and lush. This is the view from the back window in the camper. There are trees, pink rhododendrons and a stream that sounds amazing.
The campsite provides the fire pit and picnic table. The mister's outdoor gas cooker is covered up since it's been raining. You can see a bit of the blue and white outdoor carpet that is underneath the awning.
Ellie’s favorite spot.
On Sunday's, when we camp in this area, we attend the little church down the lane.
Here's another view of the stream behind the camper.
Hope you’ve enjoyed the tour of our home away from home!
