Would you shovel snow to camp?
We don't get a lot of snow around here, but with this recent storm, we have a campground 45 minutes north of us in the mountains that got about 10".
I look at all the photos here with folks camping in the snow and it looks gorgeous and like an adventure!
Here's the kicker. I called the campground and they said their roads are plowed and things are starting to melt. However, they have no way of plowing camp sites. He said we'd have 10" of slush on our site that we'd have to deal with.
I'm not experienced in "snow". What's it like to show up and have to shovel off a site (with regular flat shovels...no snow shovel)? How long does it take to clear 10" out enough for under the awning and around a campfire? I imagine with the melting the cleared part would stay wet.
Is it worth it for the experience? Want to go this Saturday morning and stay one night.
