About
The ideal RV is a Class B or truck camper. Travel trailers of any type must be 18 feet or shorter to fit. Class As and Class Cs can certainly be up to 30 feet. I only have one spot available. However, if you're traveling with a friend in a separate camper, it is possible to get both in. Contact me for details. I live on a non-working ten-acre farm. It's not a show place but you'll certainly find a welcome. Fence rails are likely to be down, the grass needing mowing, and the pastures bush hogged. But I'm retired and have other things more important to do. I'm always wiling to toss back a beer or two. Or, a cup of coffee is good. The barn next to where you will park does have a flush toilet, sink, and mostly-hot shower that you are welcome to use. (See notes above about leaving it clean.) There are plenty of places to visit and explore within 15-20 minutes of my place including hiking trails, waterfalls, nature center, equestrian center. etc. Good restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, wineries, and a brewery within a few minutes drive. Community Dog Park in Landrum, SC about 5 minutes away. Hardware store with basic camping & RV supplies is in Landrum (four minutes away) as well as a large super market (Ingle's), restaurants, and shops. Other small towns surrounding us include Tryon, Columbus, and Saluda, NC. Asheville, NC and Greenville, SC are about 45 minutes away in opposite directions. Hendersonville, NC and Spartanburg, SC are about 25 minutes away in opposite directions. There is a Camping World location this side of Spartanburg, SC about 20 minutes away. Guests will receive a printed list of area attractions and services. To get a head start on visiting, check out this website about local attractions: https://firstpeaknc.com/ For extra credit, check out my YouTube channel, The Country Life with ColumbusMark. There are some videos related to RVing and some where the RV just took me to the location where I was making a video. It's my studio on wheels. For bonus points, watch a video or two.

Parking & Arrival
Ideal Rigs will be: Class B vans or truck campers of 24 - 25 feet or less. Travel Trailers like a tear drop or mini that's just 18 feet or less will fit. Class A or C rigs that are 30 feet or less. These rigs will need to park in a different orientation and will probably need a small amount of leveling. NO TRAVEL TRAILERS longer than 18 feet. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We have a gravel driveway which has a couple of water break cutouts. (You could call them ruts.) They're no problem if you drive up slowly. Class B RVs will have no problem getting up the driveway. It's not steep. There's plenty of room to back in a Class B or a small travel trailer (18 feet or under), but you might need a spotter to keep from hitting the fence or the barn. Actually, you should have experience backing your trailer before attempting to back into my premier spot. Tow Vehicle Parking Details: There are several areas where a tow vehicle could be parked.
