Yes, you read that title correctly. And I'm just as surprised as you are. It might have to do with the fact that we camped in a trailer. Which means staying warm when it's cold and staying cool when it's hot. Pretty much like taking a house with you to the wilderness. My kind of camping!
We went to Helende Campground which is about 2 hours away. We left on July 5th and arrived in the afternoon. It was blazing hot so I was happy to have AC in the trailer. I feel like the moment we got to the campground the kids were covered in dirt. But I honestly didn't care! As long as their hands were fairly clean before they ate I was happy.
The first afternoon we were there the Crawford's generator kept quitting. While the adults set up camp and figured out the generator the girls stayed cool in our trailer doing crafts. Channing and Ryan rode around camp on their bikes.
The kids spent most of their time riding bikes, exploring the campground, chasing chipmunks, and climbing rocks. Jett particularly enjoyed the chasing chipmunk part. The campground was a large loop which was perfect for the kids.
The campground was pretty empty until the last morning we were there. Which meant the kids could explore to their hearts content. There was a water pump at the campground which provided a lot of fun. The kids would pump water to drink, splash each other, or fill up a bucket.
My favorite activity was going to the Kirkham Hot Springs. It was a bit of a nerve-racking walk down to the hot springs. Especially with little kids. The hot water coming from the mountain mixing with the freezing cold river water was a new experience!
We made great memories on this Crawford and Hamilton camping trip. The cousins love playing together, we ate way too good, and everyone was safe and healthy!
