Camping at Clear Lake

We bought the trailer in 2011 and spent every weekend in it from May until September as the house was being built, but we kept it parked by the far garage the whole time.  In 2012 we didn't use the trailer at all as we settled in, landscaped, had two grandkids arrive, celebrated my Mom's 90th...plus I was still working full time.

So, this week we went on our first real camping trip.  It was pretty much a trial run, we went to Clear Lake, a state forest campground only about 20 miles from home.  Beautiful park, we only stayed one night but had a great time.  Looking forward to many more trips, especially with the grandkids!

P.S.  Baily is a great camper.

Our campsite, right behind down a bank is the lake.



Baily loved spashing in the water, a new experience.




A dog's life



The back half of the trailer, the big rear window is probably the main reason we chose this model.



Queen size bed in the front.

Getting the fire started




Made pudgy pies over the fire; Macy used cherry pie filling...they were great




Nothing like a good belly rub next to the campfire to end the day.
