One of our absolute favorite things about fall is camping. Things have been incredibly busy this year, but we did manage to get in our first camping trip of the season (besides our Gentlemen of the Road trip) a few weeks ago. Although we live pretty close to the Toad Suck campground, we had never actually camped here before.
And actually waiting until the last minute paid off this time! Because the site is run by the Corps of Engineers, most people had moved to State Parks for that weekend due to the government shutdown. The campground is usually pretty crowded, but our timing worked perfectly and we ended up with a very nice couple of days.
The site was beautiful and quiet and it was fun watching the barges go through the lock and dam. A couple of friends went with us, so our new tent was perfect.
The weather got quite cold at night, but nothing a campfire and several layers of quilts couldn't fix!
And also the perfect excuse for s'mores!
I don't see us being able to fit in anymore trips this year before the weather gets too cold, but we will definitely keep Toad Suck in mind for future camping trips.
Fabulous smores!!
