Our weekend camping trip in May was absolutely the best way to spend a lazy weekend outside the city.
Friday morning we packed the rental car full of all sorts of necessary items. We headed north for about an hour then took a secondary road through state park land. My goodness, you know the roads are going to be fun when you meet a grader! We finally arrived at our intended campsite to find that the site wasn't actually what the guide had promised. hmm... I guess we'll just have to try the next site listed - Hunter Lookout. So perfect!
Over our weekend in the Heaton State Forest, I think we saw maybe 5 other people - hikers who were all travelling in a group. We also had nearly perfect weather the entire time, for the most part sunny with just enough drizzle to keep other people away.
We also had a lovely campfire on our final night. Nothing quite like steaks cooked over an open fire washed own with red wine. Yum!
