Playgroup Camping Trip -- who is in?

This summer before our kids transition to all their new adventures in K, 1st grade, new schools, new classrooms, who is up for some camping fun?

I recommend Pohick Bay near Lorton, VA and about 45 mins from here.  We have been twice and enjoy its fam-friendly camping.  Proposing Friday late afternoon/evening, 2 Aug through 11am Sunday, 4 Aug.  Alternate date Fri, 8 Aug through Sun, 11 Aug.

They have a huge open playfield and small playground.  Our kids rode their bikes for hours around the campground circle road.  The waterpark is .25 miles away and is pretty cool.    Small hikes to the river and another playground (less than mile away).  Water and electric hook ups at most sites.  I liked the idea of backing up to the playground so it is easy to watch kids so recommend sites 15, 18 and 20.  Sites 16 and 17 could be overflow.  (No guarantee on availability yet.)  You can get two tents on each site, but it is not too expensive to get your own site.

For those who do not have tents, you can rent a tent from the park (or borrow one from our fam).  Cabin camping is also available, just a short walk from the tent sites.

Who is in?

  1. we are in. did you want to rent the sites under one ticket (is the processing fee $7 like md state parks), and i will pay you back, or individually rent the sites? if so, send me the link, and i'll book one this week. this is a fantastic idea, i love camping with my boys. we went 7 times last year. i'm very excited about a playgroup camping trip.
