This blog was initially prepared so that family and friends
could see what Barbara and I were up to while we were on the road. It now has a
bit wider audience and includes people traveling by RV interested in finding
information about what to see and where to stay. So for those folks I thought I
would expound a bit on the Lakewood RV Resort here in East Flat Rock, NC.
Lakewood is a family owned 55+ community. The owners, and
their children’s families, live in homes on the property. The park is divided
into a section of park models and a campground. The park models are arranged on
the ridge bordering the campground, and the entire area is very well
maintained. The central structure houses the office, laundry, shower
facilities, as well as a recreation hall, dining area and kitchen. For the
long-term residents there is a small mailroom. The lower level has three
apartments. The spacious deck of the upper level overlooks the large pool and
shuffleboard court.

During the summer season there are many organized activities,
but now the summer regulars have moved on and the pool is closed. I was lucky
to be invited to sit in on the practice session of the four remaining dulcimer
players that form the nucleus of a group of over a dozen players that provide
concerts on the porch through the summer months.
This is our fifth visit this year, and while the seasons
have changed, the friendliness of the residents and cooperative nature of the
staff have not. This has been a wonderful place to stay, relax, and feel
welcome. We look forward to our next visit in December.
