Our first outing was at
Catherine's Landing, on Lake Catherine, outside of Hot Springs, Arkansas. We couldn't have picked a better location to start our new RV adventures!
The staff was courteous and very helpful on the phone answering my many questions about "can we...?" "will we...?" "should we....?" like the novices that we are! They took it all in stride and had easy-going answers for me.
The amenities included a great saline swimming pool, laundry facilities, game room, guest kitchen, gift shop/lodge with some drinks and beer products too! They also have a huge pavilion with fire pits for larger parties, complete with ice machines, and bath houses. Kayak, canoe, party barge and bike rentals were also for the taking at mostly reasonable rates.
We thought about taking our bikes but with family coming for a party, I knew we wouldn't have time. I was right!

| A nice shady campsite! |
After we got there, checked in, we backed into our site (actually Stacey drove from RV City and did all the backing). Easy-peasey! We hooked up, electrical and cable were no problem, the sewer systems (for a first-timer) were also a piece of cake! Push button slides and awning make it easy, too!
 |
| We launched right into having quite the brood over for a party! |
 |
As you can see, we left all our chairs in Gainesville and had everyone bring chairs...
still not enough! |
 |
| All the kids having a good time! |

| Adela tried to sneak out of the photo above, but Stacey got her! |
 |
| Finally got a seat after setup, cooking and eating! |
 |
| Stacey so cute and so happy! I love her so much, we have such fun together! |
 |
| Tired but satisfied! |
 |
| After all that... it's POOL TIME! |
 |
| Corey and Rachel enjoyed swimming! |

Stacey took these great shots with her iPhone 5's camera Sunday morning when we awoke to find this amazing fog covering the lake.
Sydney and family joined us again on Sunday morning to enjoy a canoe outing. Rachel and Corey went with them in Kayaks.
