....boldest raccoons ....

I have been many times. I love to camp at Brickhill Bluff and then explore the north end in detail. The racoons were pretty bold there.

I have camped several times at Hickory Hill too. It is nice and grassy and open.

I have climbed Mt Cumberland Island..... 33 feet high as I recall.

For a family of four to enjoy a park camping trip for a weekend, lets look at something. Lets say this is a young couple that does not have the equipment.

1. A good tent for four $130.00
2. simple cookware $30.00
3. food for the weekend $60.00
4. camping permit $30.00 $15.00 per night some are more
5. firewood $30.00 some parks do not allow outside wood brought in and you must purchase it from them
6. sleeping needs $60.00 $15.00 per mattress
7. fuel cost $60.00 this includes cook stove fuel if brought along.
8. misc. $50.00 this is bug repellent, games for the kids, snacks for hiking, etc.

Now take this and tell me.....wouldn’t a nice weekend at the beach at a $85.00 a night hotel make much more financial sense?
