....and what about those ants! Oh my! If you have never camped before you probably have spent less than 5 minutes thinking about these little creatures, but let me tell you once you park your unit, there's a 95% chance you are going to have an ant problem. Whether it be inside or out, they are gonna bug you! Terro is a good solution for your stay. Also, keep sugary snacks and such in zip locks or plastic air tight containers. I have had them sneak into a securely closed up jar of peanut butter or sugar that I had closed with a twist tie! They can get in when you are just sure they can't!
Also, while in certain parts of GA, you should know they have cockroaches that will come inside like they were invited for dinner! Unreal! I have never seen so many cockroaches. It's not you, it's not your neighbor, it's just Georgia!
Also, let's not forget the little racoons hiding in the woods in the daytime who come into the camps at night. We caught one of the little rascals hauling away a container of dog food on our first camping trip! Night one, lesson one: Do not attempt to leave any food (even dog food) outside or it will be gone by morning!
Speaking of hiding in the woods, near Washington, DC there is a park called Cherry Hill. We loved that place; however it is on the spendy side as far as camping goes. But what a thrill to walk along their walking trails and see the deer gathering in the clearing. There were rabbits hopping around and squirrels having a grand ole time! This is one of the best campgrounds in the USA. They have a bus that will take you into DC daily, restaurant, swimming pools...all kind of things and everything is pristine. You won't find any rundown tables or anything else for that matter. Don't you just love God' beauty of nature? The quiet of trees gently and the greenery once you are outside of a big city! Ah, yes, these are things I truly love about camping. People at the campground are usually pretty friendly, after all, a fair amount of them are on vacation!
