Happy Time Resort

05/08/2026

Last day of burning landed the guys up by Happy Time Resort - where John’s dream of building a campground first began 7 years ago.

John got the chance to catch up with Rodney Hagen, who has been a sounding board, an incredible resource, and a great friend throughout the journey.

Thank you, Rod, for all the support along the way from all of us at Latitudes… aka “Happy Time South” 🌴
