Closest campground you camped at

[CrazyCain]

What is the closet campground to you that you have camped at??

Spent a week at Pontiac Lake State Park Campground: 4 miles away from the homestead!

Does the kids ranch count? 5 mikes away, water and electric hook ups.

There is a state forest campground about 1/2 mile from our house. We camp there usually one week every summer. DW's entire family (most of them live within a mile of us) are camped there this week for the holidays. Right now there are 9 trailers and 3 tents in the "family section" LOL We're staying home but riding our bikes down every afternoon and enjoying the company and of course the campfire..... BEAUTIFUL weather in northern Michigan (now that the rain has ended)

Just 3 hours in Charleston. Usually 1st stop is 6 hours away on all our travels.

I just stay at home and ride the RZR down the road to the canyon to shoot or picnic. No sense dragging the trailer a couple miles.

Does the backyard (or even the front yard) count?

The City of Jacksonville has a wonderful park/campground at the beach, Hanna Park (https://goo.gl/maps/88ib6kCnsyL2). It's about 15 miles from the house. We've also camped at Flamingo Lake, a very nice private campground (they advertise themselves as a resort, and I'd almost believe it) which is about 15-20 miles from the house depending on the route taken (https://goo.gl/maps/HA97upsShp32).

Several years ago when the grandsons were little, we spent a week at the Mystic KOA, about 3.5 miles from the house.

Grandma and the boys stayed and played,
Grandpa commuted to work!

Good Luck,

Wine Country RV Park - SR 46 in Paso Robles, CA - about 90 miles away

Besides the back yard? We have a county park/CG about 4 miles up the road. Stayed there a couple times. Pricey and run down, only a couple spots I could get into. They give county residents a break on price, and it's still in the upper $$ for a run down CG. It's actually in the upper $$ for a nice CG. It is on the water, so I guess that counts.

Were there any ghosts there???

Lost Creek Lake, up in the foothills of the Cascades, 37 road miles from home. Not quite enough change in elevation to get out of the summer heat, but a few degrees cooler, anyway.

I should have planned to be up there this week to get away from the "2am firecracker brigade."

..Funny thing is that he got in a bag of mothballs we had and tossed them all over the place??? Big ole fella too.....

Camped many a times in the Back yard when we had a Pop Up, Camp firs and all!!!!

Around 25 miles from home at a 30 minute drive away a nice state park.We go there several times a year. But, what is funny as a kid and then father with 2 kids. Camping was always done as a long drive to eastern or central Oregon at some remote place during holidays or a hunting season. Then I retire to 2 working days a week and I can take time off any day. We avoid camping on the holidays. We drive down the highway just outside of PDX for 2 or 3 days at a time mid week.

When spending the summer months in Oregon (Our Daughter has RV Pad/hookups) we take a 15 mile run to McIver State Park for a week & to Champoeg State Park 26 miles for a week. It's a short get-a-way and the kids love coming out for some "camping!"

Well before they tore it up and built houses it was Big Bear Park. About 200 yards from the house.

We have Guelph Lake Conservation Area about a km from our home. We walk to it quite often in the summer and walk through the camp sites as well as snow show in the winter time but have never camped there. Too close to home if we have forgotten something. I'd rather have to run into town and buy something new if in fact we did not pack it. So far over the years I believe we've accumulated an extra mat, a couple of extra propane hoses, an extra water jug or two,... the list goes on.
