Camping plans for 2008

[AZsix]

We are considering Yellowstone in June, but after reading this thread there are SO MANY cool places to see it's tough to make a decision!  

I know exactly what you mean. There are so many places I want to go to but don't have enough time. The good part about that is that with all the great places to visit it's hard to make a wrong choice.

Sounds like a great trip though I do have one question. Why Wall Drug? Not exactly what I would call a "must see". Just curious.!

I've driven that section before and Wall Drug is one of those hokey tourist stops that kids will remember forever. Its not really the destination just a good break along the way.

If you know about any "House of Mud" or "World's Second Largest Ball of Twine" attractions let me know. As a kid I remember being amazed seeing a guy wrestle a "viscious" alligator at a pen behind a Florida gas station.  Ah America.....

We plan on going to Ashland, Oregon first week in April.  There is a great campground about 5 miles out of town on a lake.  We were there last year with our daughter and her family.  Lots of stuff to do and Ashland is a great little town.

. You also have Huestin Woods to your West. We've camped there a couple of times without complaint but some people don't care much for it. I think it depend mostly on the site you get.

We are considering Hueston Woods for Easter, weather allowing.  We have never been there, but the website states showers are available year-around, and the Resort looks like it offers an Easter Buffet.  (We were at General Butler for Thanksgiving, and O'Bannon Woods for Easter last year.  Because of Easter being earlier this year, O'Bannon Woods won't be open yet.)

I can understand wanting to get a picture to carry on the tradition. It's just that Wall Drug to me wouldn't warrant a stop unless I was going by. I know what you mean by the signs though. I have driven through there many times in my previous life driving truck over the road. I don't know if anyone can beat the number of signs that "Pedro's South of the Border" has though. I believe it's in SC.

Been to the both of them and for a tacky atmosphere, Pedro's wins hands down but they have a real nice campground out in back.  Have stayed there a couple of times in our travels.

Wall Drug is more of a shopping adventure but we found it fun to spend some time there when we were visiting the Badlands.  Kids enjoyed the place.  Second time it was just DW and I and we enjoyed it.

I do have to admit that both advertise along the highways for miles and they can be a bit tacky.

We have been to both places a couple of times.  Wall Drug gives you a free glass of water and I think coffee may still be a nickel.

My sisters and our daughters have 4 trips planned this year . 2 are to MIS for the NASCAR races (dry camping). The others are to Mackinaw City MI, to walk the annual 5 mile bridge walk on Labor Day , and in July we will be having our 2nd annual girls weekend/canoe trip. We always have a great time.

March: JP Coleman State Park
April: Defeated Creek- With the TennesseeKampers

That's all the plans for now...but to us, that's the beauty of a popup....the ability to go at the spur of the moment.
