This is when you wonder......should I or shouldn't I bring my 5 year old camping (well he was almost 5). I decided to throw caution to the wind and bring the little man up to Greenfield, in an attempt to see if he liked camping. We had a few friends who had gear sooooo what we did was borrow a little 4 person tent (in reality 2 people comfortable), a few supplies and away we went.
I admit it I cheat, well a little. We reserved our site online and I decided to put our site next to the bathroom, fresh water and also the path headed down to the beach. We only rented the campsite (105 on the map) for Saturday night, so we left home around noon. The site was very clean, spacious and overall had a table, camp fire ring and a spot for the tent with a parking spot. We got up there in pretty fast time (eating lunch on the way). We checked in at 2 pm, set up our tent and then went for a hike. I will say this, the campsite looks small on the page….. We took our time heading down the small dirt path that wound down the Andes. At least it felt like it, but Declan LOVED the woods. He had 21321 walking sticks, one for each step it seemed. When we got to the bottom there was a lake with a small beach with a small building that you could rent canoes, kayaks and get food. Declan and I rented a canoe, against my better judgment. We had a ton of fun, and it’s a private lake (no jet ski’s). Two thumbs way up on this much fun.
That night we decided to have a small camp fire, with Declan smores (that means chocolate with crackers)I had a few small steaks…..(well more then a few but shhhh). It was so good on the open fire…god it was so good.
The next day we walked a little more, packed up and headed home. Overall it was very quiet, clean and the people were nice. I see us coming back again.
