Our week
here was spent right on the river at Tall Pines Campground. It was a pretty little place with full hook-ups and cable (a nice bonus every now and then).
This
campground is owned by a full-time family, The Bennett's. They run their campground
during the summer months and travel for the rest of the year! It
was very family friendly with a pool and had several activities for the
kids on the weekends.
There's
not much to do in the area though but for those who are just going
camping, I suppose that is fine. The
area is really pretty though with rolling hills and mountains and its
just so green!
Our one outing was to Animal Adventure Park in Harpursville. It was a fun petting zoo kind of place which the kids always enjoy. (BUT nothing has come close to beating the Critter Barn that we visited last year in Michigan.)

(Jordan just got slobbered!)
The
kids fed all sorts of animals and listened to a couple of short talks
on some of the animals. They even got to feed a camel, a giraffe,
tortoises and bottle feed little
piggies.
(Max the camel is one of the largest of his kind)
We
also tried bottle feeding the 7-week old camel but he wasn't too
interested. He's only been at the park for two weeks and still has
his umbilical cord!
The
rest of the time we just hung out at the campground swimming, playing
with our new friends Elissa and Angel,
doing crafts and attending the
pirate party!
(Jacob won the Walk the Plank backwards contest)
We had a good time! Next
up is Lake Champlain,
NY
