This campground was on the Green River Resivour , I managed to book us a site right on the water, and oh was it pretty!

The sites were huge! Next time we can bring a bunch of our friends with us! We saw the weather, it was a 50% chance of rain, but it was so warm! High 70’s even at night! We had a new toy with this trip – a queen blow up mattress. That was a very nice way to sleep vs our small tiny hiking mattresses.  They boys were pretty excited too!

But after we went to bed, the real fun began! The wind whipped up like no-bodies business, it snapped the pole of our shade, and nearly blew us, tent, sleeping bags, pups and all into the water!! We made it thru the night, but it seems that location was definitely storm ridden and a bit windy – so if you go – tie down your tent really well and don’t leave anything out!

The next day we attempted to do a hike..  But it turns out that this place was mosquito ridden. We didn’t think to bring spray with us on the hike, so after a bout a mile we gave up and went back to the campsite and enjoyed the afternoon relaxing – with the hillbillies that arrived in the campsite next door with their 6 ski doos, 10 friends, a motor boat, 3 dogs and other stuff… Eventually it all calmed down and we had a great afternoon and evening!

We definitely enjoyed the weekend, got in some good resting, some good together time!
