I just read through the pet peeves. And added my own. So now time to flip it. What has been your best surprise at a campground?
I have a bunch but let's keep it to a bit less than a novel of epic size.
This last week it was a wonderful view at Belfair state park in WA. I was not expecting that to be the case I thought it would be a full park but we got a waterfront spot and the sun on the water was wonderful.
Then the last camp out with my Granny as we all got more than a little happy with my sister's new drink recipe. We got a spot away from most of the rest of the campground and we I am sure would have bugged everyone if we had been close to others that night.
Then the sound of rain on the roof of my van. I was so glad it was the van and not a tent. And I love the sound of rain. First night in the van and as we prepped for retirement
Watching my kids catch frogs at a lake waaaay the heck up high in the mountains. We were the first ones in for the year. Even got to chill my wine in a snowbank.
While it might not have been good for the guy driving it was fun to watch him back his BIG trailer into the spot about 2 feet from our van late at night, He had 2 friends 'helping' so all we needed to do was tell him great job when he finished.
Kayaking at dawn on a normally very busy lake and watching the turtles and trout swim under my kayaking.
The first campout after the covid shut down and watching a family with All the grands and cousins and sybs playing baseball and singing and having fun. Everyone respected the masks in the bathroom etc. but it was a joy to see people playing. Even if they were a bit loud at times.
So let's hear your favorite things. either a story or what you found Or????
