We have been camping for the last two years and we couldn't let the year pass without going camping!
There was so much going on prior to this trip and it just wanted planned properly. I didn't have the energy.
We didn't even have a camping spot the day before we were going. It was Labor Day Weekend and there wasn't a camping spot within 3 hours. So, a few of the families we were going with couldn't go.
We decided to go anyway. We decided to try one last place 2 hours away. At this point we didn't care where we were going. We just wanted a place to set up camp and have a fire. That is all the boys wanted. I found a website for a place called Camp Waubeeka. It did not seem like a quiet place to go camping , but we decided to go anyway. You have to check out the website and you will see why I didn't think it would be ideal. http://morganrvresorts.com/pages/waubeeka_homepage
But, it turned out to be the best place we have been camping near the city (we have only been 2 other places). The campsite was huge, the campground was secluded (it was far away from the RV Resort area) There was a great little hiking trail. IT was close to some other great hiking areas.
It was such a great trip. It brought me back to my younger years went I was camping with my mom and dad and brother and sister. Honestly, camping with my family are some of my fondest memories.
It was a great trip to spend with the boys. They enjoyed exploring. I was actually pretty proud of the food we prepared. For dinner we had homemade corn salsa and chips, fresh fire roasted corn on the cob, fruit, hotdogs roasted on the fire, and of course s'mores. For breakfast we had pancakes, sausages, and juice.
We are hoping to return to this spot in early October with friends to enjoy the fall foliage.

That looks like an amazing camping trip. I'm sure your boys will look back so fondly on these trips too!

Looks like so much fun. Your pictures bring me back to great memories I had camping as a child.
