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.

Any groups in the northeast? We live in northwest VT. My boys, 14 and 12 greatly prefer camping with a group. They like biking, fishing, hiking, general horsing around!

Hi...we are also a family of five from Livingston County. Not too far from you. We are new campers and are really excited about the idea of meeting other camping families. I haven't seen too many other Mi families here yet. Maybe come spring there will be enough of us to form a group 🙂

We are in the Seattle area (actually N.E.of Seattle), we too are looking to communicate with campers in our area. We don't do much drinking, so I guess we're kind of boreing, but we do like relaxing and enjoying the great outdoors, playing cards, and games, we like to go on walks with our kids. Like I said, kind of boreing.

We succeeded!! See other post.

I have looked around the Fresno California area for a family group to no avail. Only retired oldies in the Good Sam Clubs. I hope they think about the fact that as they pass on the group will dissapear and all their efforts will have been in vain.

I too would like a group to meet with once or twice a year in the California area. I have 6 kids total, but only 3 at home 15, 8 and 10.

We would be interested in camping with other families. We have two girls 4 and 8 in Las Vegas, NV.

New Subject: Is anyone a member of the "Camp Club USA" where you pay a yearly fee but get 50% of the campsite at certain campgrounds? Would be interested in what folks think about the campgrounds involved and treatment at 1/2 off!

This is our first year camping so we have tried to talk with as many people as possible.
Well at a campground this year we got talking to a group of campers who have met up once a year for 30 years (same time, different place.) They were a well mixed group as younger families have been added over the years, and very organized with all the activities.
Each year a new captain is chosen, and this person decides where they will meet and some of the activities. Mostly they relaxed and enjoyed each others company. Though everyone got together for meals each cooked there own so no one person was put upon, making it enjoyable for all.
This is the kind of camping group we would like to get into. If there are any like this in Southern Ontario let me know.

I've been reading in this forum topic and have seen many people looking for a Family Camping Group in AZ. The wife (ultra organized), I (mostly scatter-brained) and our 10 year old (mostly chatty) are willing to undertake the task of organizing such a group if there is sufficent interest.

All Arizonans know that we can camp 365 around here and find just the weather we are looking for. From North Rim to Mogollon Rim, Aqua Prieta to Saguara National Monument. Roosevelt Lake to the Colorado River we have it all. High country in the winter, Desert in the winter.

If you're interested, either post a message here or PM me.
