Memorial Weekend Camping & Homestead Expo 2026

Memorial Weekend Camp Trip & Homestead Expo 2026

I am hoping to set up my camp site by 4:00 PM. If anyone wants to caravan, I am hoping to leave town by 230 PM.

The campgrounds have a lake to kayak on and should have Kayak rentals on site. Campsites are $20 a day and you must get there and find a camp site then pay. If you know you're coming and need me to find you one, please get me the money and I will grab your site before you arrive!

Let expect communal dinners with whatever we bring to contribute and campfire & games!

I have a book I want to read, coffee and sunrises and sunsets to watch and some kayaking to try out.

I am going to post the event for 3 nights, but my little old dog might only last 2 nights so just fyi.
