Upcoming Weekend – Camping

Dear Diary,

In my last entry I mentioned wanting to try and squeeze in camping this Saturday evening.  I checked on the same state park that we visited two weeks ago and saw that during this time of year they require a 2 night stay.  I sort of gave up on the idea of going at that time but  since then have decided to see what else I can find as far as other local campgrounds.  I’m pretty sure I’ve found a winner!

It has pools in two areas of the campground as well as a swimming pond with a sandy beach in another area.  A separate trout fishing area is offered.  There is mini golf and activities planned and the price is right!  I can’t remember if it’s $29 or $31 but it’s a deal either way.  It’s about a half hour away which is slightly closer than where we went two weeks ago.  So, I’ve started to make my camp list.  I did a small grocery shop on my lunch so that I’d have what we would need for sandwiches, snacks, drinks and s’mores.

One of the nice things about having Reagan right here at school with me is I was able to pop in at lunchtime and run the plan by him to make sure he was interested, too.  Of course he was!  What kid wouldn’t be?

I pulled some pics off of the website….

Creek area….




The resolution is bad on a few of these but this is one of the two pools…

The second…. sorry I couldn’t find one with better resolution….


Fishing pond….

Swimming Pond…

Anyway, I’m excited!  It is supposed to be around 90 during the days and 70 overnight.  Good camping and swimming weather!

I made an order for more camping scrap supplies today in anticipation of more camping! 

I was pleasantly surprised by the different campgrounds offered in this area.  I like the idea of being able to swim while camping in the summer.  I found one other I like the idea of that we might try.  I had some interest in a Yogi Bear Resort Campground, too but that one was something like $90 a night.  I feel pretty strongly that campsites should cost $30 or less a night….. $20ish is ideal.  I think we paid $21 or $24 two weeks ago.

I’d plan to accomplish as much as possible this evening, Friday evening and early Saturday.  I need to pack, catch up on tidying and I have both some paper crafting projects and organization projects I’m working on.  It’s easy for things to get behind when we’re on the go every weekend and working all week.  I like squeezing in all the fun stuff though so I’ll work hard so we can play hard.

That’s it for today! Happy Wednesday!
