We departed Forest Lake campground and Advance and cruised east to another TT campground in Littleton, NC, called Lake Gaston. This campground is right on a very large lake with some neat lakefront private residences around it. The lake has some tiny little wooded islands that look great from the campground but since we are not equipped with a boat we are out of luck on island exploration. No Tom Sawyer stuff for us.
The camp spots are quite a bit more spread out than in the Forest Lake campground and we pulled into a nice spot within view of the lake. There is easy access to a beach, great camp spots in a mature pine forest, nice docks and piers, a store, a pretty good sized library in the lodge and a good laundry. Peg and I took a nice walk along the lake and found a good bench to sit on the shore and watch the sun go down. It is quite beautiful here.
