Vivian and I did a quick one-night sort-of camping trip to kick off our 2026 camping campaign. I say sort of because we stayed in a campground cabin, so it was really easy (and awesome), and no tent setup was required, but I’m still counting it as camping!
We stayed at Raven Rock State Park campground, which is about an hour from where we live. The campground is fairly small but very well looked after, and the park is also not huge but offers a nice variety of hiking and biking options. Even the bathrooms were nice. Most importantly, there were perfectly spaced pine trees everywhere for the camp hammock, which got plenty of use.
The morning after our stay, Vivi and I went hiking on the Raven Rock trail (kinda had to, right?), which was a bit busy but scenic and just the right amount of not too hard but not too short for my preteen companion.
We’re planning to come back for a couple of nights over spring break with the whole crew, and I’m looking forward to more hammock time.
Comments welcome!
