Playful Squirrels & Goofy the Duck

Rose Inlet | Campland
Mission Bay, California

In the heart of Campland, by the Bay,
Lies a haven where the squirrels play,
And Goofy the Duck, he quacks and struts,
A quirky character that never shuts.

Squirrels and Goofy, creatures of the wild,
Living their lives with a playful style,
In Campland they call home,
Where they're free to roam.

In this world of hustle and bustle,
These animals remind us to slow down and rustle,
To appreciate the simple things in life,
Like the squirrels and Goofy, without strife.

So come to Campland and you'll see,
Squirrels and Goofy, living carefree,
And let their playful spirits inspire,
As you find your own happy desire.

Dispersed Camping FS RD 81

Our Dispersed Camping trip near Happy Jack off of county road 209 exit FS RD 81 in the Coconino National Forest: Mogollon Rim Ranger District

Experience the sights in our recent dispersed camping adventure. Upon arrival, we swiftly transformed the serene woodland into our cozy haven, setting up our rooftop Alu-cab Tent, Clam shelter, and a convenient wash station. As the day unfolded, our campsite evolved into a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, complete with chairs, a table, and all the essentials for a memorable stay under the stars.

Venturing into the wilderness, I embarked on a pleasing hike through the forest, encountering a delightful array of wildlife and flora along the way. From a noisy squirrels chattering in the tree to vibrant wildflowers swaying in the gentle breeze, each sighting was a testament to the natural beauty that surrounded us. A chance encounter with a curious horny toad lizard added an extra dash of excitement to my forest exploration.

Returning to camp, I eagerly prepared our All-In-One Cast Iron Grill by Barebones for an evening feast. As the aroma of sizzling pork chops and vegetables filled the air, we savored the simple pleasures of outdoor cooking, accompanied by a steaming pot of pine needle tea. With bellies full and hearts content, we settled in for the evening, basking in the warm glow of the campfire as we recounted the day's adventures and shared stories under the starlit sky.

Got To Go In The Forest

When you got to go in the forest with a shovel and toilet paper, you aim to do your business as timely and easily as possible. For our camping trips we provide a composting toilet with a privacy structure, so you don't have to go in the woods.

Grilling at Camp using the All-In-One Cast Iron Grill by Barebones

Here I use the cast iron grill by Barebones for the first time to grill pork chops, portabella mushroom, zucchini and foiled vegetables. Besides using it as the grill that day, I made a upside down cake, that turned out great. Prior I have done stir fry over the fire twice, easy and relatively fast.
