"Third Time's a Charm: How a Wooded Campsite Brought Next Level Relaxation and Stole Our Hearts"

We found this super cool spot on Hipcamp. It has become a great resource for looking up future places. This spot in particular they offered only one RV spot on their property at a time, so we had it all to ourselves. They also offered water, electric, and sewer, which is not a very common thing, especially for $30 a night!

Logistics aside, this place screamed relaxation. We slept late, petted the cuddliest goats to ever exist (Sorry Levi), played games, checked out the lush trail directly across the street, checked out the (very few) local joints, and had more campfire s’mores than one should probably consume in a lifetime!

Real campfires finally!!!

Mira’s face in this picture says “ I can’t possibly eat another s’more…”

But her stick says something else entirely.

Love being in the woods with this kid… not at all creeped out. This one is for you Memphis.

This hammock, although two feet from us, had a bit of a drop-off underneath and some dark woods behind. Memphis, at one point, did indeed try to convince us that there was someone walking behind him getting ready to murder him.

We all agreed it was just the cost of camping. If we lose one, we’re still doing okay!

He didn’t love that answer.

Shadow is becoming quite the camping dog. He loves the long days outside in the fresh air.

This is either a campfire glow or a cocktail glow…either way I am so happy to be here.

(It’s probably the cocktails😏)

These little nuggets! They just wanted to sit on your lap and have a quick lunch of your hair or shirt- sometimes take a lil poo next to ya. So worth it!

Long walks on country roads.

Where we discovered bones and sent pictures to the kids to let them know Bigfoot had been close by. (For later scare ammunition)

We missed the open hours on this place… leaving me to forever wonder-what IS in Gods closet?

This place reminded me so much of my grandparents bar and restaurant they had when I was growing up. It was called The Trading Post. The inside is covered with signs and memories of past patrons. So many locals said hello and made us feel immediately welcome.

It really grabbed a special place in my heart here in the middle of nowhere.

Meanwhile food in town was a 7 out of 10, not too shabby!

This groovy place had a little laundry mat attached (thank god). Teenage boys, need I say more?

Irreplaceable family time. We missed so much of this working so much to buy a lot of things we probably didn’t need.

Did I mention the goats????!!!!!
