Wow what a great weekend.
Great to finally meet you also Rick and so many others to finally be able to match faces and names even though I am horrible at remembering names. It often takes me multiple times to get a face and name to stick. Hope it didn't sound rude asking "what was your name again" but when I have a hundred name rattling around in my head it takes me a while.
A huge Thank You to Camp Inn and all involved for a very very fun weekend. "LOVE YOUR ICE CREAM" We appreciate all your hard work. Sure hated to pack up yesterday. But we did come away with some cool new ideas.

Had a great first time experience at CICO! Thank you to Craig, Carey and Marty for making it possible for us to rent a 550 so we could attend. We are so excited and looking forward to ordering a 560 for ourselves. I'm so impressed with how organized and well run the whole weekend was, even with the rain on Saturday. Betsey, you are simply amazing. We received great tips and met some super people that we hope to see again: Rick & Katy, Jim & Jeanine, Wayne & Sue, Tina and Jerry, George, Joe, Rick, Bear and Bob & Kathy. Thanks for making our first CICO very special and welcoming! Can't wait till next year when we attend with our very own 560!

I really love my job. I generally do not mind Monday mornings. But today it was really hard to show up to work - which is a wonderful testament to how wonderful CICO has been.
Betsey - Words will never adequately convey enough gratitude for all of the many detailed preparations that you make for a successful gathering.
Craig - You clearly were Betsey's #2 when it came to preparing for this event. From installing the tarp, the lights, ensuring picnic tables are in place, and who knows what other many details that occurred behind the scenes.
Marty, Craig and Cary: I flinched several times as I heard people arrive and say "yeah, I didn't have an appointment but I called over to CI to see if I could bring my trailer in and they said, "sure - bring it on over!" It is this unceasing commitment to customer service that makes owning a Camp Inn such an easy choice to make.
Like Connie and David above have already said, it was so wonderful to see friends from previous outings (Jenn, Kathy and Bob, Jim and Sue, A.J. and Michelle, Tina and Jerry, Betsey and Craig, Cary, Chuck and Theresa, George, Randy, Joe B, Carolyn and Greg, and others whom I am sure I am forgetting.
It was also so much fun to meet NEW friends: Joan, Evan and Lena, Sue and Wayne, Frank, Steve and AnnaMarie, Stephen and Shirley, The Whitts, Richard, Bear, Ken and Peggy, Jack and Nancy (thanks Tina!), Dee, and so many more that I'm not immediately recalling.
This is only my third attendance of a "gathering" - but what I am coming to really appreciate, is the ability to jump back and forth between alone time and social time as often as I like. Want to sit quietly and read for a while? Climb into your trailer, or sit inside your canopy. Feel like socializing? Take two or more steps in any direction and there will be a friendly sole perfectly willing to chat.
I am already looking forward to next year's CICO, and as many other gatherings as I can manage to attend.

Had a great time at CICO 2013, even though I had to head home on Sat. morning, and miss the pot luck, home made ice cream :-( Sunday breakfast,.....(and the rain) ;-)
Met lots of great new people, Jack & Nancy, Lori & Jim, Evan,Lena, & Kate (the dog walker),Bear, Denise, Julie, Jane, Joe, Bob, Frank P, Rick, Bob, Jenn, Jean, Randy, and several more that I am probably forgetting to include.
Also got a few great ideas from Tina & Jerry, Jenn, Bob, Jean, Joe, and many others.
Glad to finally be able to put a face to Betsey, and appreciate the unbelievable amount of work that she and Craig put into this event.
Thanks to all who made this an event to remember, and not to miss if possible in the future.

It was another great teardrop gathering for CICO...thank you and I would like to reiterate all of what others have said.
It was great meeting new friends and putting faces to others on the forum spoken with but never met. The people on this forum are like family.
I was saddened to see all the north westerners gone by the time I was up and around on Sunday (I slept in). Only got to say good bye to Joan (Bob & Kathy were there but gone from the campground)thus hope all make it home safe and sound. One day our paths will cross again

What can we say about the 10th Annual CICO? Absolutely marvelous! It is as if I have been reading a really good book for the past 3 years, and when we arrived at CICO #10, all of my favorite characters were brought to life! Best of all, they were every bit as pleasant and friendly as I had hoped, and even more so!
It most definitely was worth the 2630 mile round trip we added to the McNugit's log book, when we consider all of the new friends and acquaintances we have made, as well as all of the terrific new ideas and tidbits of wisdom we picked up.
We are already looking forward to CICO #11, to meet up with all of the great people we met at this years, as well as getting to know more Camp-Inn lovers!
Special thanks go out to Betsey & Craig, for all of the work and planning that they humbly perform, to make CICO a smashing success; to Cary, for the time he devotes to his informative and enjoyable factory tours; to George, for sharing his knowledge and passion of cast iron cooking; and to all of the others who helped behind the scenes to make this event happen.
More special thanks go out to Evan, for creating this forum, which allows all of us to share in our love of teardrop camping, traveling, and adventure.
But, most of all, thank you to Craig and Cary, for the vision they had in developing a fantastic camper that is constantly evolving and improving. We personally, could only half imagine the pure joy our McNugit would provide us! It truly encourages us to spend quality time with friends and family, and to get out and be active, all while standing in awe of God's marvelous Creation.
May we all meet again, but until then, safe travels, and happy camping everyone!

I was going to say something, but there's no beating this last by McNugit. I'll just add my pathetically inadequate little thank-you.

Jim-says is at the store right now. He'll have something to add I'm sure.

A "Big Thanks" to Betsey, Craig, Cary and all those who pitched in to make CICO a huge success. It was great to see old friends and meet new ones in the ever expanding Camp-Inn family.

As I only had a half day of school today, I am finally able to sit down and put down in words what I've been thinking all week.
On behalf of the Camp-Inn gang, I want to thank everyone who was able to join us for our 10th Camp-Inn Camp-Outt...101 registered campsites with 194 people from 24 states - our largest to date!
The weather was mostly amazing, the food was fantastic (as always), the energy was high and the people were awesome!
Many hands made light work! Thank you to all who helped in any way to make things run smoothly.
Extra special thanks to Tina, who, after Craig, is the person who keeps me on an even keel & is always there with me through it all (and we're still friends!
).
Special thanks also to my "go to" guys - Jerry, Tom, Steve, Nichole, George, Parnell, Barb, Eric, Beth, Joanne, Nancy, Jack, Gayle, Gene who go above & beyond to make things happen.
Sue S., Jamie & Jim M. – your unending willingness to do whatever needed doing whenever it needed doing is deeply appreciated.
To the Table Round Up crew and everyone who helped Craig set up, I am so grateful for your help (and in making sure Craig didn’t break his neck
).
I cannot adequately express how deeply blessed we are to have so many great people in our lives!
I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again: To everyone in attendance, you make it worth every minute!
See you next year!

Now on to the wedding! WooHoo!

Terry and I would like to express our thanks and appreciation to Betsey, Craig, Cary and all the other wonderful Camp-Inn people would made the 10th annual CICO such an awesome event. We so enjoyed getting to meet, mingle and learn from our fellow teardrop owners. Everyone was so genuinely nice and helpful.....it was a pleasure to share the weekend with all of you. Looking forward to next year! When out on our camping adventures we'll continue to be on the lookout for all of you who are out there towing your wonderful little tiny teardrops!!
I know I am late on my post and thank you, but since I got my dumb phone, I haven't been on the computer as much.
What a tremendous week I had in Wisconsin. The CICO was the crowning jewel for the week. The trip home was the acid to tarnish the ending, but the memories can't be erased. As many have expressed, before me, it was great to see friends from years past, as well as the "ole reliables". What a week end! There were so many, we couldn't meet everyone, and I am afraid I will not remember names, but I hope I remember faces (old age thing). all I can say is WOW! Betsey and Craig thank you for this great week end.
