Camping on the normal Sat/Sun weekend has been a rare occasion for us so when the opportunity arose to socially distance camp with our friends, we made last minute reservations at Beavermead campground. Situated by a river and beautiful little lake near the heart of Peterborough, this campground offered some great potential for both nature and water activities. Here's the van all packed up with our bikes, food and aquatic gear!
Beavermead campground is less than a 2 hour drive from home and we had a non-serviced site so it was another opportunity to test out the LiFePO4 batteries (which performed amazing).
This was a special camping experience because we were able to camp with our good family friends that had the site next to us.
All of us took advantage of the river and beach for some excellent swimming, kayaking and exploring!
Our friends had to leave on Sunday but since we had the entire week off we decided to reserve another 3 nights at a choice camping site with direct access to the river.
It doesn't get much better than this.
The girls had lots of exercise everyday and this marks the first time they played on playground equipment in months. Brooke did great keeping up on her bike (with no training wheels)!
My amazing wife celebrated her birthday this week by doing one of the many things she does so well. Here she is showing up the other teenage boys that were too nervous to jump.
This was a much needed and relaxing trip that was not only lots of fun but also very scenic!
I must admit that camping with two young children is lots of work but it's all worth it knowing they have experienced some incredible places, scenery and my hope is that they continue enjoying all the beauty that being outdoors can offer.
