What it looks like here in February

Well, if you’re like us, the camper has been winterized with the infamous “pink stuff”, roof air conditioner is covered, and the “feet” are put up for the winter.  I got some of those huge ziplock bags and put all of our paper products, pillows, linens, towels, and such inside so they won’t mildew or smell musty next spring.  Now it’s the long, cold WAIT for spring.

We generally take our first camping trip of the season around the beginning of May, or at the latest, memorial day weekend.  Some of the KOA Campgrounds around here offer a BOGO on Mother’s Day weekend, so if we can swing it, we’ll go then, too.  But usually it’s still too cold to do much camping.

Inevitably, a nice weekend comes up after the camper is winterized and we want to take advantage before the snows set in.  So we’ve started renting cabins in October/November at some of the campgrounds around here.  It’s perfect!  The cabins are warmer, have bathrooms (can you say outhouse in 28 degree weather?  I THINK NOT).

So, next time you want to camp after the warm season, or if you don’t have a camper and are thinking of trying camping any time of year, think of a cabin!  You still have to bring your own linens, dishwear, etc., but it offers an alternative to a traditional camper.

Now that the camping season is over for the year (we are in the Northeast, don’t forget!), we won’t be posting as often to the blog, however, we welcome any content you might like to submit, and will be posting any info that comes to mind (and reviews on any good camping stuff we get for the holidays!).
