Family Camping Groups

[Shavano]

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.

Is there a group in Colorado? We are first timers and have a 1 year old and a 3 year old.

anyone out there from NJ, upstate NY or north east PA?

we're up in ski-country and looking to find families that love to travel on the weekends, and hook up for barbecues/game nights and such on the remaining weekends of the year.

we also have quads and would like to meet other atv enthusiasts who like to ride.

if you're game, post here or PM me. we've got access to website space and time to organize functions if you're interested!

We have belonged to a group of 20 families for years. started out as just our local Fire Dept families but over the years others have joined us. We have 2 main campouts a year. 1st week-end in May and 3rd week-end of Sept. Anyone is welcome to come along. Contact me for list of camp-outs.

Hi,
My name is Stephanie and we are a military family in Murrieta, CA interested in joining a camping group. We currently own a 31' Jayflight TT and have not used it very much due to spouses many deployments. Now that he is on shore we are looking for others that also enjoy the fun and flexibility of camping with a TT.

Would love to hear from Lindylu that posted re a Camping Group here in the Inland Empire.

Thanx,
Stephanie

MFOX - we have found that by attending a rally, we got to meet some great families. We went to our first rally in May, have just had a midget (only 3 families) rally last weekend, are planning a midget rally 2 (5 families so far are signed up and it's only been open for a few days now), and my husband is one of the committee members for next years spring rally. It's a great way to meet camping families and make some great friends.

The Midget Rally2 will be at Camp Waubeeka which is located at Copake NY on the weekend of September 8,9,& 10th. Here is the link to that rally: Midget Rally 2

Other members from this years Northeast Rally are also having a rally in August 4,5,6 up in the berkshires in Massachusetts. Here is the link to that rally Mid-Summer Rally

The link to the Northeast Rally 2007 at Deer Run May 4th – 6th is Deer Run 2007

There is also a rally being planned on the Jersey Shore Jersey Shore

Hi! We are from Long Island, New York and would love to be part of a group. We don't even know anyone who has any type of camper. We are camping for the first time on Long Island this weekend. So, I am hoping that we will meet other families. Does anyone have an idea on how to start one? Great topic!!!

We want to start a club in Southern California specifically the Inland Empire. Would prefer a nice mix of families, empty-nesters, and young(ish) retirees.

Want to plan monthly outings to relatively local CGs and possible one or two longer trips to more distant locales.

Anyone in Central IL want to join together? I'm at least 3-5 hours from Rockford & northern IL

I'm interested instarting a group of family campers with young families in the southeastern Mi area. Specifically Northern Macomb/Southern St.Clair counties. My kids are 10 months, 2 1/2 years, 5 years, and 9 1/2 years old. I have 4 boys! We camp in a travel trailer, and love to stay within our general area, but have been as far as the South Western part of the state.
Anyone else?

CAMPING GROUP IN ROCKFORD IL AREA !!!

Rockford Area Family Campers (RAFC)

We are a group of families that have been camping together for many years some of us are 3rd generation families. We try and stay under 2 hours from Rockford for our campouts. We camp once a month for the summer May thru Oct. We still meet once a month during the winter and have a potluck dinner. We range from ages of 1 year old to many years old. Our method of camping ranges from tents to motorhomes.

If anyone is interested in getting more information send me an email and I will get more info for you. You are also welcome to come to any of our campouts and see if we are a group you would enjoy spending some time with.

mamalama - I tried to send you some information on the OhioRally camping group but you have restrictions on who can send private messages to you.

Any family camping groups in the Seattle (or Eastside Bellevue/Issaquah/etc) area? Or any interest in starting one up? We've got two toddlers ( 4 yo boy, 2.5 yo girl ) who love camping. But they have a lot more fun if there are kids their age.
