Community

  1. Member campers evidence the Eco-tourism philosophy of low-impact to nature, adventure and a measure of self-reliance as most RV/trailer folks.
  2. We generally maintain a positive, high vibe hence the name.  Life is good! Others with similar philosophies, outlook and practices are welcome in the small, diverse communities.
  3. People may choose to keep to themselves or not.  People exhibit the ‘live and let live’ to ‘golden rule’ philosophy.
