We’re planning a kid-inclusive camping trip to northern AR from September 12-14 and here’s a recap of the plan:
KC crew leaves Friday at noon for the campsite, which is located approximately 5 hours south along highway 65. We’ll meet up with Tait and his crew at the campsite at 10 AM. We are at sites 21 and 22 at Sylamore Creek Campground: http://sylamorecreek.com/index.html
I have a campsite reserved for Friday and Saturday night. Here’s a map, directions at the bottom of the page.
Friday evening we’ll get all set up and cook a tasty dinner. We’ll bring games for the kids and adults, and sit around the campfire and relax.
Saturday will be our big activity day. Hiking and a cave tour! Tait has reservations.
Sunday we’ll get up and eat, do a small Bible service by a stream, and pack everything up. Shoot to leave camp by noon or so for the big drive back home.
