We’ve said it before: We’re hippies, not heathens. Whether camping at a music festival or deep in the woods, we seek experiences that will leave us eager for more. That often starts at the campsite, in the tend, or on the trail.  With the new year upon us, it’s a good time to consider accessories for improved camping. Below are a few goodies, many of which can be found online.

#SOSMP Owner James Cornett: When Music Festivals Return From Coronavirus, Come On Home

When the coronavirus shut down concerts and music festivals worldwide, some feared the worst. And some saw an opportunity to prepare for an eventual reopening.  The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park in Live Oak, Florida, opted for the latter. Nestled on 800 sprawling acres of live oaks and palms along the Suwannee River, the team upgraded their facilities and planned for tomorrow – while still serving as a retreat for RVers needed a place to stay today.

In the letter below, James Cornett,  President & CEO of the Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park and a member of what arguably could be called the first family of music festival facilities nationwide, offers a recap of what his team has done during the downtime – and his vision for a return to live music. For more information on the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park, head here.

RoadtripMojo & the ‘RV Wingman’ Discuss Music Festival Camping

#RoadtripMojo has spent almost 18 months building our community across social media, music festivals, and campgrounds. We’re meeting people, discovering new places, and learning about music and camping – two things we hold dear. But we’re also sharing what we know with experienced campers and festival goers. Sometimes, it’s an introduction to something completely new to them.

That’s what it felt like when we were guests recently on The RV Show USA radio show with the “RV wingman” Alan Warren.  We admit, Alan’s a veteran RVer, a park owner, and the most staunch advocate for the RVer out there. He’s been around a long time and as they say, he’s probably forgotten more about RVing than we’ll likely ever know.

Artist Takes Designs on the Road with RV and Mobile Studio

Caleb Barnaby, fiance Crystal, and their traveling companion, Azula.

We first heard of Caleb Barnaby when a friend walked in wearing a necklace of his making. Intrigued with the artistry, we explored a little further and discovered Caleb is an artist and an RVer who takes his award-winning designs on the road to art festivals. But we were hooked on the roadtrip nature of his travels.

An artist from a young age, in 2014 at 27, Caleb started a business selling his creations. A self-described alchemist, horologist, and inventor bearing the “Altered Illusions of a Mad Tinkerer,” Caleb’s been traveling full-time since May of 2017.

So we hooked up with Caleb, now 32, and had a little Q&A session to learn more about his designs, his RV travels, and how he got where he is – and where he’s going. Here’s what we learned (plus info from his site CalebBarnabyDesigns.com)…

FloydFest is billed as “five days of Music, Magic, and Mountains” featuring adventure, vendors, food, brews and more than 100 artists. It helps that campers enjoy that same experience. After all, when camping atop a mountain – the Blue Ridge Mountains, no less – the experience peaks like the altitude itself.
