I've seen a lot of interest in the forum regarding starting, maintaining or folks looking for a camping group. We're going to experiment with a "sticky" at the top of the forum so that people are more able to communicate about this.Don

This is a great idea.I am the president of a camping group in Maryland. We cover a wide geography from the west to central MD to Southern MD. We are always looking for fun people to come and join the group. We are the MD Road Runners, a Good Sam Chapter.We have families with small children, grown children and no children. Working stiffs and retirees. It's wonderful to have a mixture of people to camp with and camping in a group is always more fun.Before we formed this group we always watched the groups of campers with envy. The pot luck meals, the nights by the fire telling stories. We have always enjoyed camping as a family but now we have other families with similar interests to share this with and we've become very close.Once a month we camp together based on a schedule that is set early in the camping season. This allows us plenty of alone family time and lots of group camping time when we're able to join.Feel free to e mail me directly if you are in the MD area and would like to learn more about the MD Road Runners.

Our group is the North Texas Camping Association. We are a family oriented group who camp around a 100 mile radius of the Dallas-Ft Worth metroplex. Check out our site at www.ntxca.com!! :B

Another Hoosier here (NE IN). Let me know if a group gets formed. I work every other weekend but am definitely looking to do some camping on my off weeekends. Already have a couple of outings planned. One in June to Muskegon State Park in MI (reservations already in place) and am looking into another late July/early August at Jellystone campground in Fremont, IN. Am open to other outings, these are just the two that have concrete plans. Most of our camping trips include 2-3 families and lots of kids.

We would be interested in a Florida group. We already have few families that camper together. The more the merrier. I am trying to organize a small group at my church - camping group - as well.

Awwww.. you know that sounds sooo nice.. I have never been in with a group, have always stayed in Rv Park..Well only 1 Park...had a very bad experience and I am no longer there. But you know, going with a few frinds, and asking a few more, sounds really nice. You must be always busy, or always have something to do. I bet you have a great time!! Spring has sprung...and we are ready for camping. I can't wait until it warms up just a touch more.. Ummmm B.B.Q's and nite time fires...I can smell them now...Have a great summer and keep safe :W
