My name is Dominique,
and these are my daughters,
Lauren and Jenna.

My love of camping started with a Girl Scout trip in 1985.

My mother, Gabrielle, was my Girl Scout troop leader and had the opportunity to take our group to Camp Merrie Woode for a weekend adventure. I was hooked! We slept in tents, cooked outdoors, and navigated the woods with enthusiasm. 

Fast forward to 2016.

My daughters are in first grade and I’m freshly divorced, looking for affordable ways to take my daughters on vacation. When I made that first state park reservation, I was so excited, and my daughters were too!

Please join us!

We take several camping trips each year, where we:

  • Discover new places

  • Review amenities

  • Test out products to make our trips more enjoyable

  • Try different places to paddleboard

  • Make new friends along the way
