How Often Do You Camp?

Friday July 4, 2008
The 4th of July is one holiday that you won't find me camping. I like tranquility when I camp. However, I still manage to camp several times a year. I would like to camp more, but something always comes up.

How often do you camp each year?
1.) never
2.) once
3.) 2 or 3 times
4.) 4 or 5 times
5.) more than 5 times

Thursday July 3, 2008
"We really wanted to create a place where people could come and hang out. It is a great place to get outside and enjoy a perfect summer day- music on the beach- what is more summer than that?" ~ Fred Bohlmann, Park Manager

Boyd Lake State Park Summer Concert Series logoBoyd Lake Summer Concert Series - Boyd Lake State Park is in the second season of their Summer Concert Series. On tap are Saturday concerts all summer long at the Swim Beach Plaza. Beat the heat listening to music on the beach or under their misting system. The campground has 148 paved pull-through campsites located on a grassy knoll near the lake. The sites can accommodate tents, pick-up campers, trailers and motor homes. All sites have electric hookups, and each site has a picnic table and grill. Reservations are available. For full details visit the Boyd Lake State Park Web site.
