Red Bay!

[LoweCountryCamping]

Hello all. We’re heading to Red Bay for our first service. If you have been, do you still cook out while you’re there or are there restaurants, etc? Not looking to eat fast food so thinking I need to stock the kitchen like a “real trip”. Your thoughts are appreciated!

I’ve been by there to go to the wholesale tool warehouse, there aer a few restaurants and more in Russellville Al that’s not too far.

Thank you...I'll do a little research. Appreciate the info!

If you go a little farther, there is a floating restaurant “River Bottom Grill” at McFarland Park Marina, “Ricatoni’s Italian Grill”, and “Rosi’s Mexican Cantina” all in Florence Al. I’ve been to all of them. All are good.

So we are here, in Red Bay...lots of gorgeous RVs and super nice people but this truly is a "get here and WAIT procedure". We were #4 on the list for services when we arrived yesterday, #1 today but that doesn't mean we get in for service today. We've talked to people who've been here for weeks to a month at a time waiting to get all their services completed. Meanwhile, the dog area, muddy and wet, is quite a walk away from where we're parked, which is fine, but I'm thinking Tiffin should have some add on services to provide while you're here waiting. Perhaps a mobile RV wash, mobile dog wash, food trucks and happy hour, fun run 5k....I'll keep thinking. We can't sit and wait for weeks, unfortunately. We have pet sitters for the cats that stayed home and surprisingly a life outside of this RVing hobby. What are my thoughts about this overall Red Bay experience? I'll update once I know how this all goes!

There are several Rv wash businesses in the are. Here is what I googled.
As far as happy hour, set outside with your favorite beverage and invite your neighbor. Works more often than not.
Oh, 5k run? Not me. Lol

You’re right, we have met some great people here, which is always the case when RVing!
