Visit Astor Landing! Astor Landing campground and marina is located in the heart of Central Florida on the banks of the St. Johns River, surrounded by the Ocala National Forest, in the quiet community of Astor.

Astor Landing Entrance

Their facilities include a campground with full hook-ups, boat docks with water, sewer and electric, a boat ramp on the St. Johns River, a boat and RV storage yard, a bath house with hot showers and a playground for the kids. (no kids for us) but, in case you have any… lol’s

They have FREE Wi-Fi! Just ask for the password when you check in! We tried out Virgin Mobile air card but not enough signal. Dish Network works fine if you have it in your camper. Everyone’s packed in like sardines but the roads are wide enough to back in to and lot 11 is a pull through if you need it, you’d have to request it advance. Most of the lots are back ins.

Boats docked at Astor Landing on the St. Johns River

The St. Johns river is a few steps from the campgrounds, it’s a must see if you stay at Astor Landing!

Limited spots to camp at but, if you’re lucky enough to book a lot, you won’t regret it for sure! You’ll have to visit their website, take a look at their menu, read the history of this great place. It’s not fancy and wasn’t meant to be. Makes you feel like some old fishing camp way back when in Key West got somehow transported to this place. If this photo of my favorite sunset doesn’t temp you to visit, maybe their menu will! Enjoy…

Miss Lueffie isn’t pissing any more. With $2700 worth of radiator, water pump etc, she better put a cork in it. Last time into town the temp was “normal.” Probably the first time a guage told me I was “normal” but it was good to see.

This weekend Doc called upon us for lodging, so we fired off the fridge and air conditioner and met the folks on site. I tried to show Ray how to light the water heater complete with flashbacks; somehow I think she had a cold shower but no one was complaining. He said he only cared about beer and f**cking, so I guess he was happy. Anyway, they cleaned up and even took the trash out. Nice folks, and we hope they gave Doc a good donation.

Today, Labor Day, we’re doing TS Lee and tonight we’re doing “Rainy Night in Georgia.” Mom sacked out before 10, fun gal she is.

The Good Doctor asked us to do a new website for the Grove. Well…we’re out of the business but we can whip it up in an hour or two. I hope Mom can get the gumption to stomp on some toes and do it; if I have to do it it’ll be the most half-assed thing anyone’s ever seen. Let’s hope; it’s for all the marbles. All of them.

We’re kinda thinking about bopping southward mid-December or so. If we’re freezing our asses off we’ll buster southward; the ice’ll just slide right off. But staying put is an option…
