We've been trying to go camping for weeks now and there is always something that comes up. That being said we decided to spend our anniversary weekend camping. We tries to stay at Mount Magazine last year, however all of their cabins were full. When I called last week they had one campsite left. We borrowed the popup from Kev's dad. He has told us we can basically have it. I've been looking up camper remodels on Pinterest. A fresh coat of paint on the cabinets and new curtains will give it a much needed updated look. There is really nothing wrong with the inside now. Camper manufacturers just use the ugliest of material!
By the time we got there and set up, it was almost dark. We gathered some wood and built a small fire. our campsite was handicapped accessible so the fire pit was waist high.
There was a nice deserted road on the backside of the campgrounds. I took the dogs for a walk each mooring and let them wander in the woods off their leash. Our dogs are NOT leash dogs. They will not go to the bathroom if they are on a leash, so we always have to find a place they can roam a bit. The leaves were absolutely beautiful!!
Of course we lounged around in the hammocks.
Saturday afternoon we went hiking. This trail took you to the highest point in Arkansas. The elevation at the starting point was 2,600 feet and 2, 753 feet at the top.
There was a flagstone outline of the state of Arkansas at the top. It was hard to get a good picture of it.
We drove along the deserted road and collected firewood. Well… Kev collected firewood and I ran the dogs. I'm not allowed to far into he woods because I ALWAYS come out with Poison Ivy.
Since we stayed at a campground, we decided to only use one string of rope lights.
Afterwards, we walked to the amphitheater. It resembles ruins from ancient Rome. I learned that it was used in the early 1900s for sunrise church services.

Sunrise through the trees!
Hatfield is such a daddy's boy.
The Cameron Bluff overlook was right behind the campsite. A short walking trail through the woods led right to it.
I loved all the cliffs and rocks.
Dinner over the campfire: Bacon cheeseburgers and grilled corn on the cob.
Sunday morning we had a wonderful breakfast accompanied by wedding cake and champagne!
The grass is so tall that you can't really see the crumbling rocks that were once seats.
They were setting up chair for a wedding.
