Title: Anyone near Tarpon Springs, FL??
Post by: gumpy on March 23, 2010, 03:04:51 PM
We're currently making plans to be in Tarpon Springs FL for Christmas this year. I need a place to park my bus (and probably my Father-in-Law's 24ft cargo
style converted trailer) for a few days before Christmas until Jack's party in Arcadia.

Does anyone near there have an open field or something that I could beg, borrow, rent, purchase, confiscate, aquire, [fill in your own term here] for a few days.
We're really good neighbors and always play nice with the other busnuts.  For the most part, we'd be spending most of our time with the wife's family.

Would not need electric if I can run the generator every couple days. It's pretty quiet.

Barring finding a host busnut, does anyone have any recommendations for campgrounds near there that are affordable and will allow the likes of us in there.

I have a friend in Inglis who would let me park there, but that's like 70 miles away and the traffic sucks between there.  

Suggestions welcome.

Craig,
   I know a busnut in Springhill (a little south of Brooksville), that probably has room. Let me know if that would work for you.  Jack

Well, that's a lot closer than Inglis. Looks to be about 35-40 miles to Tarpon Springs.

I'll keep this in mind. If you happen to talk to him , maybe you can mention it and see if he has room.

Craig,

You know your welcome here!

Of course we are about 67 miles from Tarpon.....Northeast

But plenty of room to park!

Cliff,

Thanks for the invite. What town are you in?  I'll look at the map.

That will probably be too far for the Christmas time, but I might find a day or two on the way down or back.
