This year we have pushed the annual KV Camping to Labor Day Long Weekend due to Sammelan in Jul. State Parks will open up for reservation for Labor Day weekend in beginning of March. So we need to identify a good camping site and be ready to book sites once they open up in March. This will be our 17th Camping.
Some thoughts:
1) Since this year looks like a drought year, most of the streams in state parks could be dry by Labor day weekend. So a campsite site which is driveable distance to a good beach may be nice. Its been a while since we did a beach outing during camping anyway.
2) We have gone east last few times of Camping. Time to search up north or down south for a change. No room to go west of course. 🙂
Criteria for CAMP KV Camping Sites usually are :
Must Have:
20 sites available close to each other, flush toilets, showers, within 150 miles.
Nice to Have:
Some water body nearby, Some space for group activities,
So if you have suggestions regarding venue or anything else related to Camp KV 2018 please put it in the comments below.
We will open up for Registration sometime in June or July.
