hello! Our camping history is very limited. We did camp at the Grand Tetons and Yellowstone back in 2012 which we loved. Looking to use the teardrop trailer as an easy way to travel and visit the many national parks in our retirement which should begin in the near term. It appears to be an easy way to just get away from it all and relax somewhere. Watched tons of videos on camping with a teardrop trailer. Can’t wait to get it and travel.
Not sure where my post went --- sounds like our camping history is similar
We had late 60's Sero Scotty we bought from a local "teardrop" builder. Quickly realizing how heavy it was, and at the core, a smaller teardrop was the right thing. Leading me to design 5 or 10 home-built plans all looking exactly like a camp-inn. Where my better and smarter half just said "Order it!"
We've spent most of our time at state parks, local parks, a few private campgrounds. The state parks have always been amazing, espeically in Florida and Indiana (i'm jaded)
The most memorable camps have been places that surprised me.
The Beckley Expedition Coal Mine in Bekcley WV - a city park with a few camp sites rigth next to the exhibition. A nice roadside stop overnight. a night and a few hours for the museum. Very cool stop.
Sylvan Lake near Custer South Dakota come to mind...8500 feet, no internet, cool nights and a stones throw from Crazy Horse, Rushmore and one of the best nature drives I've ever been on.
The best place I can think of is Mackinaw Mill Creek in northern michigan --- the "lakeside" or "near the lake" sites are all small --- 20 feet at most being reasponsble. Our CI slipped right in, behind a stand of trees and allowed us to be within earshot of the surf at night...and not packed in like Sardines....
I've got more...these just stand out. I can't wait to find more, and to revisit some of these in the coming year or two as we break in "Serenity -firefly edition"
Our first launch is planned....watching the calendar.
You are going to LOVE the places you can see, and how easy it is to just back in, set up, and enjoy the evening.....
