This weekend we tried camping at the Cliffs of the Neuse Stake Park near Kinston, NC. It was a smaller state park than what we were used to, but that made it really nice. It was only one loop this time. Our site was, according to the husband, about 40-50 feet across from boundary’s edge to edge. This does not include the woods between our site and the site on the right of us or the field and bits of woods between us and the campsite on the left of us.
It was so nice! The bath house was kept really tidy and so were the moss laden and/or sandy paths leading to it.
The kids received their own tent, lanterns, lanyards with whistles attached, and hammocks for Christmas. All kids sized of course. They already had their own sleeping bags, mats and pillows, and other such items.
We had enough walkie-talkies for each of us to carry one. This made it so the kids could explore the site and nearby trails without too much parental involvement. Me, being a bit of a worrier, asked for updates a little more than periodically. This did, however, give us the opportunity to practice our walkie-talkie lingo.
