Worthy goal. Congrats.
A few years ago (when the economy went belly-up and money was scarce), we couldn't (or didn't) want to travel longer distances for camping. We decided, if other folks will travel all over the world to visit Indiana State Parks, there must be some attraction here. So we decided, to save travel fuel, we'd camp at every state park and state recreation area in Indiana run by the DNR. We maintained our pursuit and it took about 5 years to meet the goal. But we finally did. Funny, the very last one to officially meet the goal was Brown County State Park, which is probably the absolute most popular state park in Indiana. We stayed there mid week, off season to do it. It was just a fabulous off season as it was in the middle of the summer.
We're now focusing on Kentucky State Parks, little farther to drive and need more than a 2 day week-ends, but it gives us new destination points to try.
Yea, if we all added up all the different campgrounds we've visited, I think we'd all be a bit surprised at the numbers!
