7 Savvy Reasons to go Camping at Bulow RV Resort (travel article)

By Lesley Kontowicz

Stressed from the chaos of the big city; bored by the business of everyday life; worn out with the complexities of modern living? Retreat to Bulow RV Resort where the simplicity of camping out (or the relaxation of glamping in) will give you room to breathe, fun things to do and a return to what matters. Here’s how:

1. Location, Location, Location

Nestled alongside a historic state park and a creek, Bulow RV Resort is your basecamp to the beautiful Palm Coast and Flagler Beaches playground—five quaint communities with 19 miles of sandy beaches and access to the Intercoastal Waterway. Literally minutes after exiting Interstate 95 between St. Augustine and Daytona Beach, you’ll be parked, unpacked and ready to play on their well-appointed and perfectly located property.

When you’re ready to explore beyond the resort, the area offers endless options. Step back nearly two hundred years at the neighboring Bulow Plantation Ruins Historic State Park. Roam what remains of the Bulow family’s 18th century sugar plantation—the largest on the Florida’s east coast—and learn about its eventual demise in the Second Seminole War.

Venture out onto the calm, protected waters of the adjacent Bulow Creek or the nearby Intercoastal Waterway. Find boat rentals, outfitters and guides here. 

Build sand castles, surf the waves or search for sea glass at any of the area beaches. With nearly twenty miles of sandy shoreline, it’s easy to find a spot and spend a relaxing day digging your toes in the sand, soaking up the sun and swimming in the surf.

Go to town. Flagler Beach and Palm Coast offers unique shopping boutiques and a wide variety of dining options. Post pictures of your shopping spree at European Village and your friends will think you’re vacationing in Italy. Enjoy a scrumptious sea-to-table dinner or pick up a dozen melt-in-your-mouth donuts to enjoy back at camp.

2. Accommodations to Suit Everyone

Potatoe, potahtoe. Let’s face it, the definition of camping varies widely. To some, it’s sleeping under the stars and waking with the dew, while to others, it’s simply sacrificing a modern convenience or two—or perhaps, none at all. Bulow RV Resort satisfies every preference with primitive tent pads and RV sites with full hook-ups or rustic cabins and fully equipped, air-conditioned cottages. With so many options, bring the extended family and make it a generational thing. There’s even a ballroom and banquet hall for special events and family reunions.

3. You Can Bring Fido

No one wants to leave their furry friend at home. At Bulow RV Resort, pets are welcome as long as they’re leashed. They even have a designated dog park. And don’t worry if you want to wander off property, the area of Flagler Beach north of North 10th and south of South 10th streets are specifically reserved to let your pooches play. Also, Varn Park offers eight secluded acres of shoreside space for Rover to roam. Bring your fishing pole to cast a line in the surf or your binoculars to zoom in on the birds that frequent the quiet refuge.

4. Affordability

With seasonal rates starting as low as $30 for camping and $47 for glamping, Bulow RV Resort accommodates just about any budget. With all the money you save on lodging, you’ll have plenty to spend elsewhere! So, splurge on that special dinner, that singular souvenir or that once-in-a lifetime experience that you’ll remember forever.
5. Activities and Amenities to Help Everyone Unplug
With Bulow RV Resort’s refreshing swimming pool, miniature golf, volleyball and horseshoes courts, disconnecting from your daily life is like flipping a switch. Kids will be kids, and your family will delight as they watch your inner child emerge.
“Ooh” and “ahh,” when you get a glimpse of intercoastal wildlife like ospreys and other waterfowl, turtles, alligators and fish while you paddle Bulow Creek or any number of nearby waterways. You can even swim with dolphins at Marineland Dolphin Adventure.
Get out on the great blue with a sailing or fishing charter. Or, if green is more your color, a round of golf on an oceanside course is simply sublime. Whichever color suits you, the invigorating sea breeze will surely wash away any remnants of stress that might still be hanging on. 

6. Events for the Ages

Every month, Bulow RV Resort organizes events for their guests—from bingo and arts and crafts projects to coffee and donuts socials. These fun interludes are perfect to bring everyone together—from toddlers to old-timers.

7. Facilities that Make It Easy

Forgot something? Provisioning is a cinch with Bulow RV Resort’s onsite store. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, venture into the nearby communities to get a sample for what’s local—especially the Flagler Beach Farmers Market, open every Friday and Saturday.

Didn’t bring your barbecue? No worries, there’s plenty of grills to get going in the resort’s picnic area, and it’s a great way to get to know other campers.

Gotta go? Tent campers and those with basic shelter rigs will appreciate the resort’s public restrooms and showers.

Feeling lonely? When you simply must check your email or upload a photo to your social media story, there’s WiFi.

Plan on coming back? Store your RV onsite and make regular visits a snap.

A Bird’s-Eye View of Kent County (travel article)

By Lesley Kontowicz
A patchwork of green, yellow and brown cover a landscape surrounded by large swaths of silvery blue glinting like a mirror for the sun; ribbons of jade and teal weave through clusters of lush green groves; and quaint towns where life is slow and easy offer fountains and flower gardens by which to rest… it’s Kent County, Maryland from a bird’s-eye view. With a landscape this inviting, it’s no wonder that the area is a haven for birds, waterfowl and butterflies. From wooded to wetland, agricultural to pelagic, Kent County’s variety of ecosystems offer both migratory and resident birds prime habitats for respite or long-term stays, and those year-round accommodations means it’s a major destination for birding enthusiasts, too. As of spring 2019, the Maryland Ornithological Society   listed 453 species of birds in Maryland (315 in Kent County alone) with another 20 listed as subspecies or species of questionable or exotic origin. That’s nearly half of the 1100-or-so species re

In Sedona, Art Surrounds You (travel writing)

By Lesley Kontowicz
There’s no better way to sample the ethos of a destination than to take a contemplative tour through its art scene . When you do so in Sedona, Arizona , pack comfortable walking shoes—hiking boots, too—because there’s miles and miles to roam, some of which are off-road. With 80-plus art galleries , art-inspired festivals and events happening year-round, and heritage sites that exhibit the ancient art of the area’s earliest inhabitants, it’s clearer than the sparkling streams of Oak Creek—Sedona inspires creativity. It makes sense that Sedona’s roots came from ranching since Oak Creek and the nearby Verde River provided early settlers with abundant irrigation, but the pioneers were drawn to this rugged place for more than its perennial water source. Beyond its verdant valleys, rubiginous rock faces and formations stimulated the imaginations of these providential people and, just as cloud formations might, yielded picturesque names like Chimney Rock, Coffee Pot Rock, Cathedral Roc
