Timothy Lake Camping, August 7th - 9th

We took another camping trip to Timothy Lake recently! We stayed in spot #14, a single spot, so we weren't able to invite our friends to camp with us this go-around. However, since the single spots can hold 6 people, Molly was able to invite her friend Montana to join us. 

The weather was pretty darn nice, sunny and about 75* the whole time. The kiddos had a really great time, as always, swimming and kayaking. We spent most of our time hanging out at the water playing. There was a fire ban during our camping trip, but luckily we always bring our propane fire pit to use (along with having a real fire when there isn't a fire ban). So we were the only ones that got to enjoy a fire at the whole camp ground! haha People were totally envious.  

We really enjoyed our weekend away, but it was freaking busy there!!! Everybody and their brother wants to be camping and using day use right now. I guess because of Covid and pretty much everything being cancelled, there's nothing else to do? Day use was packed every day by 8am! It was insane. I'll admit, I got pretty pissy pants when day users kept encroaching on our spot. I don't mean to be *that* person.....but come on, it is SO HARD to book camping now a days, and I spend the time and money to book and pay for a spot. Nothing makes my blood boil more than when people show up to use the day use area, but decide they don't want to stay in the day use area (because it's busy and full!) so they MOVE into YOUR area and shove YOUR stuff to the side so they can fish and swim at YOUR SPOT that YOU PAYED FOR. And then get annoyed at YOU because your kids are having fun and scaring all the fish away. OMG.  I almost split some freaken skulls. Talk about disrespect. On top of that, day users just trash the place and leave their crap garbage behind because they don't care. 

So yeah. That happened and I'm totally bitter about it. Each day we were shoved over by people to this little spot and were forced to deal with it and not get in the way of all the fishing lines and such. Annoying. 

Don't they know Timothy Lake is MY happy place? And they should't be assholes and trash the campground? UGH

Anyway....we had fun. Despite my blood boiling. Haha

One more camping trip coming up in September, and that will conclude our camping season for the year! Hopefully it'll be far less crowded, and our friends get to come with us again because we have our favorite spot, spot #25, yay! 

With love,
