Last weekend we took our camper out for the first time. Before hitting the road for a few months we thought it would be a good idea to at least get a trial run in and work out the kinks. We decided to go to the Poconos because it wouldn’t be too far from home in case anything major did go wrong. I am happy to say that nothing major did go wrong, we realized what things we were missing though (pots for the kitchen, outdoor lights, a bike rack, etc.).

We stayed at Otter Lake Campground in East Stroudsburg and it was really a perfect place to spend our first weekend. The large park surrounds a lake, and while there are a lot of RVers the spaces are separated nicely and tree-lined. Otter Lake offers fishing, bingo, there’s a baseball field, a few tennis courts, and 2 pools (indoor and outdoor). The park was dog friendly and everyone was happy to be where they were.
