Tom’s Cove Park: Chincoteague, VA

Posted on August 11, 2019 by Cello's Corner | Leave a comment

Tom’s Cove Park, located on Chincoteague Island, Virginia, overlooks Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge and Assateague Island National Seashore Park.

This was our first time camping in Chincoteague. We enjoyed the views, and the dogs very much enjoyed bird-watching all weekend!

Margarita LOVED being on the pier and watching the boats and birds!

Margarita and her main-man, Mr. Spock, did some bird watching together on the pier!

Camping in Virginia also allowed Porter to add a state to his “States Visited Map!”

We stayed on site P65 with a great view of the water (light pink sites closest to the waterfront sites).

Sunrise views from our campsite:

Hooch at our campsite:

Limoncello enjoyed “hunting” golf carts down all weekend from our campsite!

We found out that Porter loves riding in a golf cart!

Whiskey enjoyed people-watching from the camper.

When we competed at the 2018 Hebron Harvest Fair, we camped at Nelson’s Family Campground.

We stayed on site T-48.

Although this site was directly across from the campground’s service center, it was a perfect site for us, as it had a very roomy grass area to walk the dogs.

We camped here while attending the 2018 Hopkinton State Fair.

We stayed on site G9

We arrived much later than expected and it was SO dark that we missed a turn. People at this campground were so nice – before we knew it we had a whole crew of people helping us back up (NOT an easy thing to do where we ended up!) One of the campers even drove in their golf cart to lead us to our campsite. I don’t know what we would have done without their help that night!

There was plenty of space to walk the dogs. All the campers were so excited to meet the “dock dogs!”

This was our first time staying at this campground – but we liked it so much that we already booked it for the 2019 Hopkinton Fair!

Bedford Creek Marina and Campground: Sackets Harbor, NY

On our way to the K9 Central Wild Card Double Header, we stayed overnight for the first time at Bedford Creek Marina and Campground .

We had a nice end spot with room to walk the dogs.

When Rita and I went for our first walk, look at what we saw at someone’s campsite! I was hoping we’d get to see the GSP, but we didn’t. Maybe next time!

This campground offers a beach, boat rentals, marina, pizza & ice cream shop, and mini golf!

Margarita and I walked down to see the beach in the morning.

What a view!

Rita enjoyed stalking all the birds!

Taking in the views!

This campground was a great stop-over!

Brian and I camped at Crystal Springs Wilderness Lodges & RV Resort for our 11th anniversary on August 4, 2018!

The site was spacious!

Around the campground…

Margarita found a friend! This bull is actually a smoker! I was hoping we’d get to see someone using it during our stay – I bet it looks so neat when the meat is cooking and the smoke is coming out of the bull’s nose!

Margarita

Whiskey enjoyed the scenery too

Whiskey noticed a friend off in the distance – but was too afraid to go closer!

We camped for the first time at Village Green Family Campground when we competed at Klem’s DockDog Days.

This campground had been hit hard by a tornado in 2011. They are still working to recover from the tragic losses that ensued from that disaster. However, the owners could not have been nicer, and despite what the campground had been through, it looked great and was very enjoyable.

Our campsite was private and had a HUGE living space…perfect for letting the dogs out!

Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA: East Stroudsburg, PA

Posted on August 26, 2017 by Cello's Corner | 2 Comments

We had a “dock diving free” weekend last August , so we had the rare opportunity to camp with family. We chose the Delaware Water Gap / Pocono Mountain KOA .

Our campsite was awesome, but there were power lines running right through the campground. It turned out not being a big deal, but definitely was something we were not used to seeing at a campground.

Margarita enjoyed walking around the campground with her cousin James. We bought James his own little “Rita leash” that we attach along with the leash I am holding so that he can feel like he is walking her.

We enjoyed the relaxing weekend with family. It was nice not to have to get up early, or have any set plans for the weekend!

Overall, despite the first impression we had with the power lines running through the campground, we had a great time playing miniature golf, taking a hay ride, exploring around the campground, and just relaxing!

Brian captured one of my most favorite shots of Margarita and me sitting at the campfire on our campsite:

Rita also enjoyed Lure Coursing… but perhaps enjoyed the horses around the Lure Coursing field more so than the Lure Coursing itself, as she ignored the lure, and bolted off to the fence-line to see the horses! 🙁

Swiss Valley Campground: Dubuque, IA

Posted on November 7, 2016 by Cello's Corner | 1 Comment

After a long road trip from New Jersey to the 2016 DockDogs World Championship, we arrived in Dubuque, IA!

Even though we stayed at the Holiday Inn in Downtown Dubuqe with all the other competitors, we had driven our motor home out to Iowa, and needed a place to park it for the week. Swiss Valley Campground was the perfect place! Once we saw this beautiful 62 acre park, we wish we had camped for the week instead of staying in the hotel!

Our campsite:

Immediately after arriving, we had to pack up all of our dock diving gear, and head over to the hotel in our rental car!

The two “Princess and the Pea” gals “helped” us pack:

: Princess Margarita

: Princess Limoncello

We said goodbye to the camper for the week – but got to stay the night here at beautiful Swiss Valley Campground on our last night in Dubuque, IA, before heading back home to New Jersey.

Pomona RV Park and Campground, Egg Harbor City, NJ

Posted on October 23, 2016 by Cello's Corner | Leave a comment

All of our camping trips revolve around the pups’ dock diving competitions, except the holiday camping trips we take on Easter and Thanksgiving. We very rarely catch a free weekend – let alone one that matches up with another camping buddy. However, this particular weekend in October we were able to make it happen!

This was only our second trip in the new RV. I decided to ride on the couch with the pups for a little bit to help get them settled.

All settled in and ready to roll!

It was a very chilly weekend, but we enjoyed every minute at Pomona RV Park and Campground!

You would never know this campground was just 10 minutes away from Atlantic City Casinos, boardwalk, and beaches, as it was very quiet and peaceful!

We stayed on site C3:

Campground map:

Lager just loves his new GLAMping window!

We spent quite a bit of time indoors getting a break from the cold, and enjoying getting to know our new camper. We could relax for sure knowing Lager and Limoncello were on patrol!

Hooch and Rita decided to let Cello and Lager do all the patrolling while they soaked up the GLAMping life!

We did get some warmer temps where we were able to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air – Rita seems to be more of a cold-weather kind of gal, as she enjoyed every minute sitting outside!

It was a wonderful weekend (not too far) away! We appreciated time with friends, we were delighted to spend some time figuring out all the buttons and controls on the new RV, and enjoyed the campfires each night!

Lancaster/New Holland KOA: First Trip With Our New Camper

Posted on October 9, 2016 by Cello's Corner | 3 Comments

Those of you who have been following our adventures from the start, know that we started out tent camping, moved on to a travel trailer, and then a 5th Wheel. Even though we enjoyed all of our camping methods, once we adopted Margarita, we discovered that we needed to travel in a way where all of us could be a little bit more comfortable while on the road. We decided to trade our 5th Wheel in for a Class-A RV!

Our first trip in the new camper was to Lancaster / New Holland KOA !

What a gorgeous view from the campground:

Our campsite (Site X-16) … we LOVED our site!

We enjoyed this campground very much – one of the days was very rainy, which gave us some time to get acclimated to our new RV!

: First time the pups are all riding together on a couch! (safely clipped into their seat belts of course!)

: Rita got settled right in! She said she can drive a Big Rig – no problem!

: We had to put runners down in the new RV since Hooch thinks slippery floors are made of lava!

: Lager discovers the “Doggie Window!”

: Lager claiming “his spot” by the Doggie Window

: Relaxing on a rainy day with my Reet!

: Our new RV was safely guarded!

: Guard Dogs on Duty!

Once the weather broke, we were able to enjoy the outdoors at our great site!

Friends of ours live nearby the campground, and were nice enough to come by with some Lancaster favorites that we have never had before!

: Chicken Pot Pie like we’ve never had it (We’ve only had it in “pie” form!) Delicious!

: Hand-made pretzels – not sure I could ever had another kind of pretzel after these… YUM!

: Whoopie Pies! …These were amazing!

: Farmers Cheese – my new favorite cheese!

We had a fun (and most importantly – SAFE) first trip in our new camper – during one of the very, VERY few camping trips where dock diving was not involved!

The Colonies RV and Travel Park, Fort Monroe, VA

The Colones RV and Travel Park is probably THE coolest place we’ve camped! We stayed here for the Care-A-Lot dock diving event.

Fort Monroe served as a key defensive site of the Chesapeake Bay from Native American’s use before the settling of Jamestown, to its most recent mission as the US Army’s Headquarters for Training and Doctrine Command until 2011.

Rita is finding Glamping to be fun, and is exploring all over the camper! Here she is in the shower:

This year’s Easter camping trip was at Old Mill Stream Campground in Lancaster, PA. We had a great view, and a wonderful weekend with friends!

Our campsite (Site 125):

View from our campsite:

This campground is located at Dutch Wonderland and offers discounted tickets for the amusement park. The amusement park was closed during our Easter visit.

Old Mill Stream is also very close to many area attractions and shopping in Lancaster, PA. For those who would rather stay-put in the campground, there are lots of amenities such as:

Two Laundromats
Country Store – selling a limited selection of groceries, sundries and camping supplies including ice, wood and propane.
Two dump stations
Free Wi-Fi
Game Room
Playground
Half-Court Basketball
Horseshoes
GaGa Ball Pit

Unfortunately, Rita had to stay with a friend for this trip since she had just gone into heat, and Hooch is still intact. However, we still made sure the Easter Bunny took care of Rita in our absence!

The Easter Bunny always leaves great treats for the pups in the camper:

: Hooch

Every Easter camping trip, we let the pups have an Easter egg hunt in the camper:

For Cello and Hooch’s dock diving event in Zoar, OH, we camped at the Canton/East Sparta KOA in East Sparta, Ohio.

We could not have been happier with our site (Site 77)

Our site had a level, concrete pad, and nice landscaping. The site also had a fire pit, and two wooden benches at the fire pit.

We even had our own “nest” style chair, , patio set, and grill!

The concrete slab had imprints of different plants – pretty cool!

This campground had lots to offer:

horse back riding
grocery store
paddle boat rentals
game room

For Cello and Hooch’s Family Fun Day dock diving event, we camped at Woodlands Camping Resort in Elkton, MD.

Woodlands Camping Resort is a semi-private camping resort with mostly seasonal sites. They have 5 sites available for transient campers, like us, and also have two cabins available for renting.

Woodlands is totally surrounded by Elk Neck State Forest, and is is only a short drive away from many other Chesapeake Bay area attractions.

We stayed on site 120:

Our site was right at the Veterans Memorial, which they were working on the weekend we stayed at the campground.

Site 47 was so spacious, and perfect for walking the dogs!

What a large living space for a campsite!

Eagles Peak Campground, Robesonia, PA

We were invited by friends to camp at Eagles Peak Campground in Robesonia, PA. What a GREAT weekend we had!

We had a very large, pull-through site (site 238).

This campground had lots of cool features for kids!

The “Fun Zone” had a variety of inflatable slides and obstacle courses.

The Eagles Peak Grand Prix is a race course for remote control cars:

Miniature Golf Course:

This campground also had two pools (one for the kids, and one for the adults) but the pools were not open for the season yet.

We enjoyed walking around the campground, sitting around the campfire, and cooking up an incredible feast of crabs, clams, shrimp, filet mignon,

corn, potatoes, onions, broccoli, and asparagus with our group of friends! YUM!

Just a short drive brought us to a beautiful hike in Nolde Forest.

It was a fun weekend filled with good friends, fun conversation, interesting adventures, and delicious food!

Easter 2015 – Frontier Town Campground: Berlin, MD

Posted on April 5, 2015 by Cello's Corner | 2 Comments

This Easter we camped with friends at one of our favorite campgrounds – Frontier Town Campground, in Berlin, MD.

We LOVED our campsite here!

We first discovered Frontier Town Campground when we attended a dock diving competition held right in the campground! We camped here for the dock diving competition as well.

Here is the view from our site:

The water views around the campground are gorgeous!

This was Hooch’s first-ever Easter! It was exciting to make his basket for the first time!

Cello’s Easter basket:

Easter morning – the Easter Bunny has arrived to the 5th Wheel with toys and treats!

Cello and Hooch had a great time opening their Easter baskets with the help of their Pop!

After Cello and Hooch opened their Easter baskets, they had an Easter egg hunt in the 5th Wheel! …see if you can find all the “hidden” eggs!

Yay! Hooch found his first bacon-filled Easter egg!

After each egg is found, the pup who found the egg gets the bacon inside of the egg – Hooch thought this was LOTS of fun, and waited patiently for his bacon reward!

Hooch enjoyed all his Easter treats and toys – and, of course, stole Cello’s bunny toy!

Overall, we had a great trip, and Hooch enjoyed his first-ever Easter!

First Trip With Our New 5th Wheel – Elk Neck State Park, North East, MD

Posted on March 22, 2015 by Cello's Corner | 4 Comments

Six days after getting our new 5th Wheel, we took a trip to one of our favorite places – Elk Neck State Park.

Cello and Hooch had their travel buddies, Olaf and Hulk to keep them company on our ride.

We have always stayed in the North East Loop of the campground, but this was the first time we have stayed on this campsite. However, this was not the site we booked!

Backing the 5th Wheel in for the first time did not go as smoothly as planned. It had rained a lot the few days prior to us arriving to the campground, so the ground was very wet and soggy. As we were trying to back in to our reserved spot, the truck got stuck in the mud! A nice man came to our rescue and towed us out! We wound up having to switch campsites with our friends because we could not get our 5th Wheel into our reserved campsite.

Finally in our new campsite, safe and sound!

Cello has been to Elk Neck State Park several times already, (see below) – but this was Hooch’s first time visiting this great park! Cello has been to Elk Neck State Park three other times prior to this trip:

Thanksgiving 2012

Valentine’s Day 2013

Thanksgiving 2013

The weather was not so great when we first arrived. However, we did bundle up and take a nice long walk around the campground.

The weather continued to worsen, and it began to SNOW! Cello and Hooch could not believe their eyes!

The cold snowy weather gave us some time to enjoy our new 5th Wheel. Cello and Hooch settled right in, and seem to love their new home-away-from-home!
