Blue Lake RV Park

When you buy a campground guide book from 2008 you have to expect that a few of the entries will be out of date.
Not to say it doesn't throw us off every time it happens. "But in our our outdated book your prices are so much lower...."

It happened again today, but I must admit this one is worth the price.

They have all the usual amenities plus; giant chess, foosball, spotting scope, swim dock, badminton, and a tree swing.
Mini golf, canoes and pedal boats for a small fee. Vending machines with turtle, fish or dog food are right at the swim dock.
A thoughtfully laid out and stocked park, in a terraced, wooded landscape.

Quite enjoyable.

We were a bit wary of the two available sites, one right on the highway and one with loud mooing cows on the other side of the fence, but when we explained that we didn't need hookups they said we could use the tent area, right on the little lake, in the shaded meadow, all by ourselves and a lower fee to boot!

Here comes Jamie in her first kayak experience.


And there goes Bobby in his.



The brave little one spent her afternoon swimming (in a life jacket) to and from the swim platform about 25 yards out in the lake.



We ended up getting some neighbors at about 9 tonight. Family of 5 tent camping.

Robb has named them the stealth campers, they set up their tent and camp and are all sitting out by their campfire and we didn't hear a sound. There should be camping awards to hand out to people like that.
