mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Well, I just discovered and booked a T@B Rally in Cape May, NJ for late July. Looks like it's gonna be a grand time with my fellow T@B friends.I've looked at the MapQuest route, and it's a doable two day drive.I've also looked into the Lews - Cape May Ferry.It doesn't look like I'll be able to use it on the way up, (they say cars, and cars with trailers really need reservations, and I have NO CLUE when I'd get there) but on the way home, I think it's doable. I'm pretty sure I could reserve the first ferry of the day and get there on time. It's pretty pricey (around $50) and an 85 minute ride. Is it worth it??I took the Mobile Bay Ferry with my T@B and that was fun.Whaddya think??Also, I'm looking at Natural Bridge KOA as a stopping point. Any opinions??Thanks!!!

LORNADUCK 261 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 That sounds great, I think that part of New Jersery is really pretty, don't know anything about the ferry so can't help u with that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I think with your rig you would not have a problem with a spot, it's a nice trip and does save you some driving. Where are you staying in Cape May, I know the area well we camp there often and mom has a seasonal site down there, let me know if you need any info. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ferry is pricey, but it does save driving time, especially if you are staying in the Cape May area. What campground is the rally at? Cape May is a nice town, and you'll also be near Wildwood and other southern shore towns.Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Lake Laurie is a large campground, hope you have sites in the woods as they have a lot of sites out front with no shade. If you go the beach in Cape May you will need beach tags, Cape May is a nice town with a lot of beautiful homes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you go the beach in Cape May you will need beach tags, Cape May is a nice town with a lot of beautiful homes.They have us in a block of sites in the "100-200" area. Most of us bring our own shade, so not really worried about that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dblr....Rennie 224 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I will check with my mother for the best palces to eat and will post them, for what it's worth she says she does not cook when she is away. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted January 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Well, with this type of gathering, there will be a potluck at least one night, and if I remember, last year, they got together and did a lobster broil.Like her, except for the potlucks, I don't really cook either, but then I don't eat out much. Just simple stuff like oatmeal for breakfast and soup otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Abagpiper5 8 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Hmm, maybe I need to convince my wife to take a ride south on the pkwy and go camping that weekend too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parrothead7368 aka Norm 101 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Not a big fan of Morgan Rv Resorts, I know of two that are horrendous in the area, hopefully this is a better one. There is also a nice zoo right on RT 9 in Cape May County that is free if you are looking for something to do. We take the girls down there every year to stroll around.Best Regards,Norm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

X2 on the zoo it has to be one of the best smaller zoos we have been to and free, just be sure to make a donation that's all they ask. If you get to Stone Harbor make sure you stop at Springer's for Ice crean just look for the line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ftwildernessguy 778 Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 Carol:We stayed at the Natural Bridge KOA on our way home from Pigeon Forge last fall. It is literally right off the highway, but it is very quiet. Lots of trees, people who run it are very nice, they have a great little campground store. It was raining pretty good when we were there, but from what I saw it was nice. Comfort station was clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Momoffive aka Loretta 34 Posted September 19, 2012 Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Carol, How was your trip. I just found this thread. You shouldn't have had any trouble getting the Fery, just get in line early or be prepared to wait for the next one. It was pricey but worth the $90 the kids loved it....and so did I. Did you make it to the Ugly Mug in Cape May, a favorite of ours too. I'll have to look in TR to see if you posted one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mouseketab.....Carol 1,261 Posted September 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2012 Oh, I actually cancelled that trip. It was just too short, and too much distance, and too much gas money. I'm gettin too old for those long trips over long weekends. I would have been driving more than I was camping Quote Link to post Share on other sites
