It's a 30 minute drive for us. In our hauling days, we'd end up at this campground anyway. It's a county park, so it doesn't have many more amenities than a good beach, a fishing pier & boat launch, volleyball, horseshoes and a couple of hiking trails. You'd be surprised how resourceful the kiddos can be even though activities aren't laid out in front of them.
When one of 8 seasonal sites opened up, we grabbed it and are now grandfathered in for the future. Our kids are now out of high school, and the close proximity allows them to visit whenever, or go back and forth to college or work. It takes longer for DH and I to drive to our work places than to our campsite. We never miss the flurry of summer activities back at home. They'll be time for traveling and sightseeing in the future.
