We have gone to Assateague Island National Seashore for the last 15 years for Easter. This year our school district has had to cancel school too many times for bad weather and all our kids get off is good Friday. I don't think we will be going to Assateague with only a 3 day weekend. Is anyone interested in camping for Easter?:)
 
OK, the Easter trip is going to be at French Creek State Park in PA. We are in the only open loop, which is B. Pets are allowed in this loop while the normal pet loop is closed.

We have discussed going down to Trap Pond for Saturday-Tuesday, Easter weekend.  But Margies mom is in the hospital again so we are hedging our bets.  We will have to decide as we get closer....

Sorry you are going to miss Assateague.

Sorry to hear about your DMIL.  Give her my best.  Instead of going south have you considered going north?  I know camperjohn is interested in camping for easter and maybe a few others.:)

Well, with it being right near nicole's b-day she would obviously love to go somewhere.  Let me know what your thoughts are as we may join ya.

One of these days I will try Traps Pond.  Never been there yet.  Hope you MIL gets better.

I will have to find out about Shady Maple with it being a holiday weekend. Her birthday is the the 25th. We are open to other areas however if you wanted something different.
 
PS. I can't make it a long weekend as work has a new computer system going in around that time and there are no vacations allowed.

Scott we have good Friday off, so you are the one with the more limited schedule.  I think camperjohn is interested in camping for Easter too.  Want to make any suggestions?  I want electric, any other hookups are fine.:)

I have to see, it still a few weeks off.  Oak Creek has some creek side sides in the lower level, took Raymond there last year, he left early, I had to drive home with the trailer in the Noreaster that hit.
There is another campground just down the street from Oak Creek, and then there is Lake-in-Wood, if they are open that early.  Oh Yes, Spring Gulch and Brandywine Meadows...AND French Creek is not too too far.

I have a problem with Traps Pond as it is loaded with Pine, the kind that makes me very very sick even with Flonaise (it makes it worse since it is an irritatant and not an actual allergy, opening me up for more of the irritants...I hate this getting old stuff).

Spring Gulch does not have any shower houses open during the winter, so I will not camp there.:(  I don't know anything about Oak Creek, Lake-In-Wood, or
Brandywine.  I do like French Creek SP.  They have electric and pet sites.  Scott do any of these places sound good to you?  Camperjohn what about you?

Lets see, spring gulch is out as is Lake in Wood ( just called and they don't have anything available ).  Since I am partial to state parks my vote would be for french creek sp.

I have no problem with SPs.  Anyone else want to chime in?:)

Just got Kelsey's spring soccer schedule and it looks like games every Sat/Sun in April and May and 1/2 of June. This is a new league so it works a bit differently than last yr when they just had games one day on the weekend. This league plays state cup so maybe they'll get wiped out fast  :D .

I also found out she's trying to do AAU bball this spring/summer (in her spare time) so who knows if we'll ever get away...

The good news is that HS bball season ended tonight  :-().

French Creek is fine with me. I told Raymond and he is not enthused, but he did not give me that "look".

Better make a descision quick as there are only 17 sites available...are we or are'nt we???
