Luxury Lakeside Holidays

admin Culture , , , , , , 0 Comment

This is a continuation of the camping at the state park I mentioned in the last issue.

Lakeside Campground is very popular and hard to get a reservation, but I finally made one, so let me tell you how it went.

By the way, I was able to make a reservation…if you check the reservation site on the website often, you may find that a spot suddenly gets canceled and becomes available. If you check the site often when you have an idea, you may be able to get a reservation unexpectedly. (*I was able to make a reservation three months in advance this time.)

It’s great to be able to watch the sunset from your tent!　You can enter the lake from the back of the tent.

Many people spend their evenings relaxing in their tents or RVs, so there are few people playing in the water on the lake and it is truly a private party. We did some light paddle boat exercises and…

Paddleboats have recently become popular among people who enjoy outdoor activities. Inflatable types can also be folded compactly, which is convenient.

I enjoyed the beautiful sunset and felt refreshed in mind and body.。

The boat was once difficult to buy for the Corona disaster. Now, they can be purchased at any store that sells sporting goods.

A weekend spent in nature, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You will be able to think, “Let’s go for it again from tomorrow! You will be able to think, “I’m going to work hard again tomorrow!

Easy camping at a state park

Camping season has arrived!　In the United States, the mecca of the outdoors, many people enjoy spending their holidays outdoors.

S’mores enjoyed lakeside…a most luxurious moment.

Camping may seem a bit daunting, but the good thing is that it is actually very easy to do in the U.S. There are so many nearby campgrounds that you can go on the day you think of it or the next day. There are so many campgrounds in your neighborhood that you can go there on the day of your visit or even the day after.

One of the best places to camp is at a state park. Many of the state parks in North Carolina have campgrounds attached to them, and reservations can be made for as little as $25 per night. Some parks offer a variety of camping styles, such as RV sites, group sites, etc., in addition to tent sites.

Jordan Lake State Park is popular with many campers because of its facilities. Lakeside makes it very private.

Popular spots such as Lakeside, where you can enjoy a private lake beach, may be booked six months or more in advance, but there are also areas where same-day registration is available if you do not choose a location that far in advance.

RV sites are conveniently located with power and water available, and it is possible to reserve an RV site and stay overnight in a tent.

The nice thing about state parks is that they are well-equipped. Many of them have showers and toilets attached, so they are also good for beginners in camping.

If you are not comfortable staying in a tent…you can do day camping. There are trekking trails near the campsites, and many places to enjoy boating, fishing, and water sports, so you can have a lot of fun even if you don’t stay the night.

Check-in time at the state park is a little late at 4 p.m., but check-out time is 3 p.m. the next day, so you can still have plenty of fun the next day.

The showers and toilets are cleaned regularly, so you can use relatively clean showers and toilets.

A state park campground you can go to as soon as you think of it. If you come to North Carolina, you must experience it!

A strawberry picking season in NC!

A strawberry picking season in NC!

It is in the midst of strawberry picking season in North Carolina.

There are many farms in the neighborhood that offer strawberry picking. After purchasing a basket at the reception, many of them offer all-you-can-pick and all-you-can-stuff.

There are no greenhouses like strawberry picking in Japan. You pick strawberries that grow on the ground in a large farm. Basically, you are supposed to put the strawberries you pick in a basket and take them home, but it is OK to taste a little bit!

Finding a basket full of strawberries may be a lot more work than you think!　But it is fun like a treasure hunt.

There are many varieties of strawberries, including Sweet Charlie and Camarosa, and even one farm grows several varieties of strawberries.

Weekends are crowded, so the best time to visit is in the evening on weekdays!　However, depending on the strawberry situation, there are cases of temporary closure or early closing even though the opening hours are indicated, so it is advisable to check the situation on the website or by phone.

In many places, you pay for a basket and you can fill it as much as you want (about $15-$20). Picking in small boxes is also available at some locations.

In addition, many places on the farm sell freshly picked vegetables, honey, ice cream made from strawberries, etc., so you can enjoy the farmers’ market in addition to strawberry picking.

Strawberry picking is at its peak right now, and many places close by mid-May, so be sure to check back early!
