    Melton Hill Camping and Laundry Tips for Campers

    We are blessed to have over 100 campgrounds within a 30 minute drive from our home. This makes weekend camping trips easy. And having the right supplies for these weekend getaways makes life even easier. We had just the gear we needed for our trip to Melton Hill Lake Campground.

Our campsite was just a short walk away from the beach swimming area, paved walking trails, the bathhouse and camp store. The kids loved being able…

    First Time Camper Buying Tips

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases We did it! We bought our very first camper!! We had to jump through a few hoops to get it, but we have a nice shiny camper sitting on our driveway now. I want to tell you all about the hoops that we had to jump through and the things our salesman didn’t tell us so that you are prepared if you decide to buy a camper. I am by no means an expert on this (in fact I would say that I am a noob). I’m very thankful we have…
