Once upon a time, we lived in Pennsylvania. OK, it’s only been about five months since we moved to Florida, but it seems like a lifetime ago! We found a campground that we loved and it became one of our favorites – far enough away that we need to clear our schedules, but close enough that we can leave Friday after work and get there in time to swim. They have a pond where you can fish without a license (catch & release only), they have a nice playground with a jumping pillow (although I’m not sure they still do – it ripped and would need to be replaced), and a pool. They also have all kinds of activities for kids. We could easily just stay at the campground and no one would be bored! Friday evening, the kids would enjoy the jumping pillow (me too!) and John would fish. The kids have their own poles with practice weights on the end so they can cast, but don’t actually catch anything. They run back and forth between the jumping pillow and the pond. Friday nights, the campground has an ice cream social – $1/scoop plus they have several toppings. Saturdays they have a tie die station, then some kids games in the afternoon, bingo in the evening, and a flashlight candy hunt at night. Sunday morning they have all you can eat pancakes plus sausage and drinks a la carte. Besides all the activities, the campground itself is nice – the restrooms & showers are clean and in good repair. The campsites are gravel and pretty level. It’s just off the main road, but still relatively quiet. It’s close enough to the city if we want to drive in for more entertainment. Mostly though, it’s a nice place to just relax for a weekend.
Now, we’re searching for a new favorite campground. Do you have a favorite campground?
