Description: Come join us for a kiddo friendly campout weekend up at the Ashmere Project's Camp Chesterfield Wilderness Camp. I cant wait to enjoy the lean-tos after mosquito season is over!
Plan 'A' is to park across the lake and do the short paddle (with camp's boats) to the lean-tos. It is also possible to drive to the lean-tos and camping areas from a separate gated entry.
Folks with kiddos are welcome to bring them! We ask families use the upper site with 4 lean-tos (Adirondack shelters), latrine, nearby running cold water spigot, and fire pit.
Down at the lower site (with 3 Adirondack shelters) folks will likely be up later in the evening. Communal meals will be prepared at the lower camp by the lake (a few hundred yards away from the upper "family camp").
Please bring: A sleeping bag appropriate for overnight low temps around freezing! Sleeping pad. Personal bowl/plate and utensils. Personal water bottle and cup. Some blaze orange clothing (it's bear season already). Changes of clothes appropriate for fall days and nights outdoors. Camping gear bag/backpack and a day pack. Shoes that can get wet and mudy; they will do both of those things. A fun story to share! We will coordinate communal meals and expenses two weeks out. I expect food costs to be around $30/person.
