Mayberry Campground, March 30 - April 1, 2012.
We are planning a weekend trip with Splash T@B, Sharon, Becky?, and I'm not sure who else this weekend. It will be to Mayberry Campground in Mt. Airy, NC. We don't have reservations yet, but that is only because it is early in the season and we are waiting to make sure we don't have any weird weather.
Here's a link: Mayberry Campground.
Update: Great time!! Always enjoy camping with our cousins!!!

Weekend Getaway, March 16-18, 2012
For this first camping trip of the 2012 Season, we decided to return to Stone Mountain State Park in Roaring Gap, NC for a weekend get away. We are planning on going camping with Sharon, Becky and Splash-T@B two weeks later, but we wanted to get an early jump on the season. Our first trip here was in the long, long trailer!
Here's a picture from the North Carolina State Park's website.
Great Trip! Check out our blog posts about it!

Labor Day Weekend 2012. We are doing something we said we'd never do, and that's to go camping on Labor Day Weekend. We are going to Raccoon Branch Campground in the Jefferson National Forest of VA. We've camped at another NFS campground close to here, but it was full Labor Day weekend. We are going to try this one instead. It only has 20 sites, 15 amp electrical service, water at the site, and no bathhouse. But it is supposed to have WIFI.

Update: This was another awesome trip. The campground is just beautiful. We will be sure to go back here again.
