Golf Carts and Camping?

One of the things we have seen over the year that we haven't in the past were golf carts. In some of the campgrounds most of the campers had their own carts. Some of them were modified, lifted and looked like Stephan's truck. Some of them had wheels and tires worth more than the ones on my truck and they had NASCAR racing numbers and decals. Of course the campground will rent you one for $70 a day if you don't have one, but it would be a plain Jane model. In Cedar Key, Florida the police department had one, it had POLICE across the top of the windshield. In Cedar Key the pace was really slow.

We saw carts mostly in the south and east. It could be the heat that drives people to use them more there. When it is over 40 degrees it is more fun to drive a cart down to the pool or lake than it is walk. The carts are trailered behind motorhomes, put in the beds of pick-ups or stored at the campground.

The other thing we noticed over the last year was working people living in campgrounds. In Texas one campground only had a couple of spots left for "campers" and the rest were taken up by people working in the oil industry.
