Lately the news has been tough to watch. There are a lot of heartbreaking and frustrating things going on in the world these days.

That being said, here are some camping and outdoor stories. This week, all of the stories we’re bringing you were chosen because they make us feel good. We hope that no matter how you’re feeling about other news lately, these headlines bring a smile to your face.

“Wow, what a gorgeous campground! This one came recommended from a friend and we fell in love at first sight. The campground reminded us of summer camp on the lake, as it seemed frozen in time. Each site has a picnic table and open grill and all sites are non-electric. We stayed in site #45, right on the edge of the lake, with great kayak access.” — The Dyrt camper Shari G. at Cranberry Lake
