The world is sure changing and impacted our camping for this year. Being outside feels like a safer way to vacation this year and easier to stay socially distanced. We had one trip early in the year to a private campground in Wisconsin to visit friends.
Due to child care issues, we had to delay even scheduling any trips. That said, we are again staying at some private campgrounds.
Our next trip is later this month to Rock Cut State Park in northern Illinois. Usually our first trip of each camping season is at Rock Cut. It is close to home and used to shake things out with the camper and equipment for the season.
Another issue is towing the car behind the camper. For out first trip our I, again, drove the car over the dolly. Only $600 to fix that situation. Now I am to nervous and hopefully we can get a stop piece put on the dolly, yet that does not look possible for our September trip.
We are returning to one of our favorite areas in September along the North Shore of Lake Superior. At this late date, we were unable to find any sites at any State Parks between Duluth and Grand Marais. So for us, adventure camping is at private campgrounds. Our first few days will be in Two Harbors, MN and the remainder in Grand Marais.

Our plan is rest and relaxation plus spend some time on the Superior Hiking Trail doing day hiking. To overcome the car situation, we are renting a car in Duluth so we can putz around without moving the camper except for set-up and tear down at each campsite.
We are looking forward to a relaxing and fun vacation up north!
