Originally I only planned on 1 night with Ethan but changed it 2 on Friday morning. Friday night was great but woke up on Saturday to pouring down rain! Yuk!! Since we were so close to home, decided to go there for day. It was nice to be dry and warm but I would have rather been at the campground in the sunshine. Oh well, when we got back to the campground it was all clear and the skies were blue! Had a great fire with some friends who were camping just up the way at site 54. Ethan was not really into the campfire. He really enjoyed just staying in the camper and watched a movie? My friend's son Jeffrey(9) is an expert smores maker! They make them with Champion(?) milk chocolate cookies. They were yummy!! Ethan finally came out of the camper around 10:30, pulled up a chair right close to me and promptly fell asleep! He slept really well and did not wake up until 8:30. The sun was shinning and you could tell it was going to be a large day. Decided to walk around the campground after breakfast. Ethan wanted to go swimming but it was a little too rough. Although it was sunny and warm, the wind was blowing pretty strong. Below are pics of the camper and of the park:

The building has the new washrooms, showers and laundry facilities. Nice, clean and new. I did not take a shower but talked to a few ladies that did and they said there was not enough hot water. Jason took a shower in the afternoon and said there was all kinds of hot water when he had his shower.
Although the sites are nice, they are a little small and some are on top of each other. I had a decent site but Jason and Loris was a little small for their camper. They made it work for them though!

A lot of provincial parks now have what they call Hosts. These are people who you can go and get information or help if you need it. The Host at Lauri park when were were there was Emile. He is doing 2 weeks here and then taking a few weeks off, and after that he is going to Smiley's for a few weeks.
All the roads are paved and all the camp sites have new crusher dust and new grass.  |
| There were 2 of these little fibre glass campers, this was a Trillium and the other was a boler. |
Tjis and I are taking Kees and Ben camping one weekend in the near future and were scoping some sites here. We found the perfect site that will fit both my camper and their 10' X 14' tent. We will have to see what weekend we can go and if the site is open?
There is a really nice path that leads to the dock above and the lookoff. Very pretty place!
Cost: $24.48 + $ 9.00 booking free for Saturday night. Decided to go on Friday night too, $24.48 + $ 7.00 change in booking fee. A little ridiculous!
Weather: Friday night clear and 14 degrees. Saturday morning/afternoon poured rain but was around 16 degrees. Saturday evening, rain stopped, skys got clear and temp was around 15 degrees. Sunday, not a cloud in the sky and it was around 25 degrees when we left the campground but the wind was blowing to moderate the temperature.
Jules I like the small awning you have over the doorway does this attach to the teardrop or just anchored over the top?
ReplyDeleteThanks Barry! I did not have to use it in Storemont because I had the shelter over the pic nic table there. It is a 6' x 8' tarp that is fastened to the camper over the door with the grommets on the tarp thru eye fasteners then a rope run thru the eyes to secure it to the camper. perfect seal and no leaks. Then the rope continues thru all the grommets to the poles and back.
