We're going on a camping trip.......we're not scared


After much deliberating and contemplating about purchasing a trailer for camping holidays, we finally decided to stick with the tent and forgo the comforts of a travel trailer. The idea was extremely tempting, warm comforts, solid four walls, inside cooking facilities and the list goes on. However once we thought about the practicalities of cost to purchase, possibly having to upgrade the truck to tow the thing, storage costs when not in use and the cost of fuel when towing it on long distances Ohh and to add in the fact that James is a slight workaholic on top of shift work and the reality is that we wouldn't use it to its full potential. Oh and not to mention that I like to stay in cabins and have plans to travel further afield!!!
Therefore I have booked a camping trip to a place called Surveyor lake for our vacation time.

Initially I was thinking 4 nights and then James thought 6, I'm thinking that he is trying to put me off and succum to a travel trailer!!!

Known as the BCW ( best campsite in the World) !!! Great for kids, with sandy beaches, warm lake water, adventure play ground. Great for parents, with hot showers and biking and hiking trails galore and great for all of us, with painted turtles that bathe on the banks of the lake, time outdoors with fire pits and great camp food!!! Now I know that this is by no means going to be a relaxing vacation, however I think the kids will love it. They have already been practicing the sleeping bag routine and love being outside in their mini play tent.


And as everybody knows kids love the outdoors, water, sand and stones.
