What a fabulous family weekend we had celebrating birthdays with a great camping trip to Bogue Chitto State park. My husband made great use of his new flattop griddle and did most of the cooking. Our son resurrected some of his Boy Scout skills assembling the old tent (who’s poles had seen better days). The rain only got us on Friday and the threat of rain kept temperatures quite nice. Our adult kids joined us for a total of 5 adults, 4 dogs. We had a fun time tubing in spite of battling fallen trees and one blown tube (Tubing in the park brought us another by boat) and even made new friends who also live in BR. We stayed in the upperlands on site 9. It was a little uneven and not terribly easy to back into being slightly uphill (we are still kinda new at this) but once in and leveled it was a nice site with full hookups, reliable electricity, park wi-fi, a grill, fire ring, tent pad and lots of trees for shade and a nice view. We were right next to the (vacant) Tentr sites. Sites were spaced out nicely. You do need to make peace with red dirt. Unisex bathhouse with individual complete bathrooms was right across the street. I generally only use our bathroom but after tubing it was nice to get the sand off with a little more water than I’d use in the trailer. We all relaxed, hammocked, played cards, read, napped, had movie night and just had a great time being together. I highly recommend Bogue Chitto it’s a beautiful well maintained park. Looking forward to more good times there! — with Allen Childress at Bogue Chitto State Park.
