When my wife and I got married, we registered at REI for camping equipment. We asked for a couple backpacks, and a backpacking tent, and some other stuff for backpacking. We actually got a bunch of it, including a lightweight backpacking type tent. Amazingly, we have never gone backpacking. We did use the tent a lot. We would drive to a campground, pitch the tent stay for a day or three, and drive on. Being that the tent was designed for backpacking, it was pretty small.
These days we still do some tent camping, but now we have a larger heavier Coleman tent. We have a full sized inflatable air mattress with a battery powered pump. We have a couple cheap sleeping bags that zip together. We have a big Coleman 5 day cooler that we use to tote around food and pop. We usually leave that in the car. We have fun, and get to see a lot of stuff. Personally, I still hope to get off and do some backpacking in the future.
I’ve been driving myself nuts trying to remember the name of the campground that I stayed at about 10 years ago. I’m hoping that someone else has stayed there and knows the name of it. Being that it was 10 years ago, I’m sure the campground has changed but I stayed there in September, right after the kids went back to school so we had our pick of sites and we chose one right on the lake. What I remember most that might make this campground stand out from others was that they had these huge statues. I want to say they were dinosaurs but I’m not hundred percent sure. We were able to bring our dog and they had sites for RV also. I wish I could remember more about it but the big statue or staues they had in the back might be the key to someone knowing the name of this campground. Oh, one other thing, it was about an hour from Lake George. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this. Any info is greatly appreciated!!!
