I imagine a lot of you will be camping this holiday weekend and thought it would be fun to hear who is and where you plan on camping at. Who knows some of us might end up at the same campground.
As for us we will be camping at Bennett Springs State Park located in Lebanon Missouri. We have a 14mi float trip on the Niangua River planned for Saturday. We plan on spending the rest of our time trout fishing, geocaching, and sitting around the campfire.

We are going to RB Winter SP in PA. Our BSA troop has an obligation on Sunday evening, so for this trip we stay close to home each year. We may go to Penns Cave or Woodward Cave over the weekend.:)
We'll be at Sampson State Park on the east shore of Seneca Lake in the Finger Lakes of NY. http://http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=100 (//%22http://http://nysparks.state.ny.us/parks/info.asp?parkID=100%22)
We will be at Pinch Pond Family CG in Manheim, PA just outside of Hershey. Hope it's worth the 2.5 hour drive!LOL
We're camping on the back side of some friends' property near the Potomac river. They put in 4 (or 5?) water and electric hookups just so we could all camp together on busy holiday weekends at our own private campground! They were supper fantastic friends before this and now they are even better. We have all helped them do improvements on their property and house and we have been awarded life-time memberships in this private exclusive camp resort! LOL We get to inaugurate the new "Hot Tub" Party room this weekend! Yeah!!! Campfires, Hot Tub, Good friends, Good food, and lots of stars.......nothing is better! Hope everyone has a safe and fun Holiday weekend! Take a moment to remember all those who should be remembered and honored!

Camp driveway (or where ever there is room for our huge camper ;) ) at FILs. We're having a small family reunion/pig roast at his place on 20 acres. Should be 45 - 50 of us.
Going to a place called Bear River Lake in northern California. Our 3rd trip in the PU! Gonna rent a boat and do some fishin! Yeah! Makes all this time I spend in my cube worth it.

I and the DW will be working Memorial Day, but come Tuesday morning, we will be heading for a state park while everyone else will be leaving to go back to work. Gas today is $3.35 here so camping trips will be shorter drives this year.

We sure can squeeze 'em in..lets just hope it dosen't rain.
We are going south, from Mars PA to Proctor WV - It will be the freshly restored PUPS maiden voyage.
We will be camping only a few miles from home at Lewey Lake State Park in New York State. Supposed to a great weekend weather wise. We will use the I/O boat on Indian Lake!!!
we'll be in lancaster pa - ...watching the amish plow their fields and awaiting their daily except Sunday trips around the campground selling pies, cookies and cakes etc. from their horse and buggy wagon. The kids will do some fishing with granddad and grandma the girls and myself will get some shopping in at the nearby outlets --- I know I know, but it will be my birthday and dmil always buys my gift then. Plenty of campfires, playing washers and cards. If we are lucky and the weather is just right they also have a hot air balloon event and they ride close over the campground ever rising higher. What a beautiful sight it is.
Safe journeys to you all and enjoy the beauty and freedom we have to enjoy it.
To all the vets or servicemen who may be reading this, I thank you for that freedom.
We are headed out tonight to Salt Lick Creek (COE cg). We have never camped there before, but have driven through. Lakefront and pull-through site. I can't wait!!! We'll be camping with some TPUC friends, too.
Echo Valley PA for camping and wheelin at Rausch Creek
Skidaway Island SP in Georgia, just south of Savannah
Camping trip just for ME and HER, no kids!
10,000 feet up in the Rockies!!! Going to drive as high as we can on jeep trails until we hit snow.
Headed out tomorrow morning to a little boondock campground about an hour drive from here called Morgans. Nice little campground with sites right on the Little Miami River and a bike trail accessible directly from the campground. We usually do the first and last camp trip of the season there because it's normally cool enough to not require the A/C.
I am on vacation this week (but wife is not) so I took the kayak and went kayak camping for a couple of days. This weekend we are throwing the kayaks on the pup and heading up to Donner lake to paddle and hike and all that other fun stuff.
We will be at Yellowstone Lake State Park, WI, leaving at noon tomorrow.
Hope everyone has good weather and good conversation.
Let the good times roll.
Bob and Peg
We are doing the southern Adirondacks - Sacandaga Campground. Our maiden voyage in our '04 Bayside.
As excited as I am, I must admit Cheryl's private campground has me rather envious - my kinda party!!
Let's all be smart and safe!!
Peace!

Greetings - we are near you at Sacandaga Campground - just down Rte 30.
Where are you from? We live in Burnt Hills - a little south of Saratoga Springs. We hope to get out a lot this summer - hope to meet you. Let's stay in touch. Indian Lake sounds nice. Enjoy!

I want friends like that! Wow, that would be great to have a free, private place to go away from the busy campgrounds. I'm envious!

That sounds like the top camping spot so far!
We just got our popup and have camped just once in it. We are staying home this weekend, tending to the garden....my new favorite pastime.

The only campground mentioned in this thread that I have been to is Hunting Island! I have thought so much about going back there and now with a popup would be perfect. We camped before in a tent and loved it! Just not in the back swampy area with mosquitos. Hope everyone has a wonderful, safe weekend!

Actually, we prefer the back area. We are on the back loop right now. Not a bug in site!
