Quiet nights, beautiful days

If you bring nothing but a love of history this is the perfect spot for you.

If you bring your family, this is the perfect spot for you.

If you bring a horse, a bike, or good hiking shoes this is the perfect spot for you.

If you bring a need for getting back to nature, a good book and a tent, this is the perfect spot for you.

We booked in the improved camping section and came in a little later than I had wanted to set up. We arrived at 7:00pm. I have never been greeted by a more enthusiastic staff member who just kept saying we would love it. She had know idea how true her words would be for us.

Two nights under stars and immaculate quiet. (To the point where we couldn’t help but laugh (quietly) when our fire cracked loudly a couple times. We set up at dark and the stillness was so calming. We had a group with a baby next to us so we were trying to be extra quiet but everyone was so behaved I was taken aback- never had a camping trip so serene.

We heard coyotes at a distance which was amazing.

Woke up to begin the junior ranger packet for our kiddos (provided at checkout) and hiked and explored all day. We were super happy at the food truck that was there so we didn’t have to go off site for lunch. (Probably just a weekend thing?) Loved seeing the horses on the trails and the easy bikes for our 5 and 7 year old. Second night we got back to the campsite and enjoyed some down time then woke up to explore the civil war battlefield again before we left.

Sites were immaculate with water and power. Bathrooms were fine, no sinks but sanitizer and again water at our site.

My husband didn’t have any interest in coming, now he wants to make it a biannual (at least, event).
