We all know that stress can kill you so, what is the fix for managing it?

  • Make lots of love
  • Talk to a friend
  • Write it out
  • Pamper yourself

How do you handle stress?

With deepest Respect for our Military

We would like to give something back.  We know that at times there is a great need for decompression from stress at the same time as perhaps a financial stress.  Follow this link for a goodie: Military Discount at Sacred Rocks RV Park

There is something healing about being in the beautiful nature, no matter the weather.  Where else can you rest under a 400 year old tree?  Where else can you string up a hammock and just let go of self?  Where is there a place of quiet?  People who come often re-connect with their families.  Others simply enjoy being safe and sound and chatting around a campfire with friends.

The $200 Vacation Week

We were thinking about vacations.  You know when you get on a plane and fly off to Hawaii, or cruise to Alaska, or tour the Greek Islands.  And come back  refreshed and glad to be in your own home, your own country and eat your own food.  This year may be a hard one for people to have these kinds of vacations.   The news tells us much hardship is going on.  So we wanted to do something for people who are having tough times.  Thus, the $200 Vacation week idea was hatched.

So you can come to Sacred Rocks and bring an RV, and spend the week for a mere $200.

Our motto this year along with being ‘The Most Earth Friendly Park in America‘ is to offer the most ‘eco-nomical vacation’ ever.

For me, there are two kinds of vacations.  The traveling vacation takes you out of your world, has you living out of a suitcase for a week or two, offers you unusual food and shopping experiences, and perhaps challenges your communication skills in other countries.  Sometimes, I need to come home and ‘rest’ from the vacation.  Have you ever felt like that?

The other kind of vacation, I call rejuvenation vacation, is a deliberate withdrawal of self into the quiet.   Whether by yourself or with friends or family, getting into the s l o w pace of the day somehow recharges you personal energy.  I believe that in the QUIET we can FEEL the natural rhythms of life, we begin to SEE the details of natural things, and our mind becomes clear.  Our bodies truly REST.  With rest come renewal and recreation has happened.

A traveling vacation can be  exhilarating.  A rejuvenation vacation can strengthen you for challenges ahead.   This year, you might want to consider what you want from your vacation.

Can you tell us about a vacation that changed your life?
