When Scotty and I arrived at Bluff Creek we were concerned about the fact that the creek was correctly named and we were a decent ways up on a bluff. It was going to be a challenge to get down into the water. At this campground we tried out a Buddy Site (2 individual campsites with a shared common area) with our friends the Walsinghams. And the Webb family joined us on the trip.
Pros: good bike riding, beautiful scenery, fun playground, swimming during the warmer months is possible if you dare, dog friendly, nice paved campsites, buddy site was very nice
Cons: the bluffs, creek had a strong current
My family gives this campground/park a so, so rating!
*Should try this one in the fall or winter when it is not so hot.
***Site 52/53 Good Site, Buddy Site***
 |
| The buddy site was perfect, exactly what you would expect.... |
 |
| adequate individual campsites, large common area |
 |
| and plenty of space to just hang out. |
 |
| The bluff.... |
 |
| The kids did not seem nearly as concerned as the adults were about getting down the bluff. |
 |
Us moms were soaking up some rays and the girls start coming up the bluff towards us. They looked like models. :)
Here we have Catherine sporting the coral colored one piece.... |
 |
| And Jarah, playing it safe in the bright orange life vest.... |
 |
| And finally Alex, rocking the rainbow tankini top and sporty swim shorts. |
 |
| Connor came up with the best way to get down to the water.... a mud slide. I'm not sure this was the safest way to go down (note the wooden structure at the bottom of the slide) but it was definitely the fastest and the most fun way. |
 |
| Seriously.... you don't expect them to go cold turkey for the whole weekend. They can only take so much of the nature stuff before they start going into withdrawals. |
 |
| The kids LOVE for us to all eat together while we're camping. |
 |
| Me: "What was your favorite part of the weekend?" Alex: "The mud slide" |
 |
| Just us.... What a great weekend!!!!! |
