We did. One challenge that we faced, and will continue to face I'd say, is keeping the little one occupied. She's not much of a television watcher, but I'd like to keep it that way. I need to figure out some fun outdoor games that she might enjoy, and possibly add some board games to our arsenal. We played uno and Candy Land, and she grasps them pretty well for a 3 year old. She's very active, loves the water, and loves being outside.
Just like her papa, but sometimes Momma and I just want to relax. Lol

My kids are older 15 and 18, but we still have games to bring along. Of course we have TV, but unless its raining or we are eating at the dinette, they don't watch it (and cant see it from their bunks). However they have phones and netflix and youtube lol so they watch some stuff anyways.
We have bean bag toss, ladder ball, washer toss, a football, a bag of some sort of safe jart like games, and some cards/board games. Really what we like to do is sit around the fire though and cook lol.

I like the idea of a bean bag toss, washer toss, etc. Stuff to do outside. I took my putters from my disc golf bag and a milk crate and was tossing them around practicing my putting around the trees. I tried to get her to do it with me but she wasn't too interested. She asked that we bring her bike next time. I don't think it would have been great on the gravel with training wheels, but I could have pushed her around a bit.
I have Cornhole boards bit completely forgot to load them up. I'd like to build or buy a tic tac toe type of bean bag toss. And I think we should add connect four. She could easily grasp that. Maybe a giant outdoor connect four. Lol.

Get an inflatable bounce house and you can be the hit of every campground you visit!!!
Bikes are fun but if she can't ride without training wheels, not as much as you can get stuck easier. Easily the "hit" of every camping experience is making "pies" with the rome campfire pie irons. We have done pizzas, street tacos, breakfast pies, dessert pies, etc etc. Kids love it. Now she is probably too young to "help" with that right now, but later on it becomes a lot of fun for them. Plus smores.....mmmmmm lol

Actually, she's much more capable in that department than you'd expect for a 3 year old. She helps Momma cook every day, and she can handle some of the simpler tasks more or less by herself.
That's a great idea, she would love cooking something over the fire like that I think.
We're definitely going to put together a scavenger hunt and some sort of bean bag toss.
She and my mother in law have created sort of a bird sanctuary around a playhouse I built for my daughter. They have a vast assortment of bird feeders, bird houses, bird baths, hummingbird feeders, etc. They have been observing the birds and my MIL has been helping her learn to identify the birds. She knows more about them than I do. Lol. Anyway I am thinking about getting some binoculars and trying to bring the bird watching with us. Probably add certain birds to the scavenger hunting.

We have another trip planned for the weekend of 8/16. 64 whole dollars for the weekend. It's at a very nice park on a small lake not even 30 minutes from home. Haven't been there on the camping side since I was a small lad. Man, I've forgotten how nice short weekend trips on the CHEAP are!
The last trip was $80 for 3 nights. Just can't beat it if the camper is paid for!

The Cherokee trip was a big success. The furnace works well and we had a great time. Heading tomorrow night or Saturday morning to Jones Lake State Park near Elizabethtown NC. We have some friends in Hubert NC, and this park is roughly half way for us all. We haven't seen them in ages, so we're getting together and staying in our camper Sat/Sun.
