Boulder Woods Campground

Normally this blog is about our families camping adventures with our kids. 
However I recently went on a Guy camping weekend and wanted to post a quick review of Boulder Woods campground. 

For starters if you are looking for a sterile "RV" park, this is not the place for you. Boulder Woods has a distinct campground feel to it. But for me that is all part of it's charm.

 We selected this campground due to it's central location to everyone who was going.  We had a nice pull though spot close to the camp store and pavilion. The staff at check in was ultra friendly, and even assisted with some food from the kitchen even though it was closed. The camp store was fantastic. It was well stocked, reasonably priced and had a good "Rustic" feel to it. There was a kitchen for ordering food (burgers, fries etc) ,a DVD rental bookshelf, dry goods, clothing and frozen foods. 

We lucked out during our stay, it was cookout night. Where they roll a 20 foot long charcoal pit out for your to grill you own meat on; add a baked potato, baked beans and drink for $2.00. Sweet!
While cooking our grub we got to speak with many of the seasonal campers, as well as the owner.
This might have been the friendliest bunch of folks we have encountered so far. The owner made it a point to come say hello multiple times that evening. You could tell that he loved what he does, and builds relationships with his campers.
 That night following dinner there was also live music from some local bands and all of them were good. 

We spent the remainder of our night between hanging out around the fire, and taking in the live band. 
Just a fantastic night all around. Good food, good people, good atmosphere. 

While this season is over for us, this is camp ground I intend to stay at again next season. 

Amenities:
Pool, Stocked Fishing Pond, free DVD rental, Wi-Fi, Fitness Center *under construction, Good People. 


Positive:

Negatives:
