Camping at Natural Bridge VA

Our week long camping trip this year took us to Natural Bridge, Virginia. It is located in the mountains about 40 minutes North of Roanoke. We sta;yed at Yogi Bear Campground - which we all highly recommend as long as you rent a golf cart. It is VERY spread out and lots of opportunities to hike. We had a nice shaded site and staying throughout the week afforded us with lots of empty sites around us. The kids met lots of friends their age and had fun in the lake. Poor James couldn't go in the lake with his cast on his arm, but did spend lots of time in the pool with Mom.
Thomas opted to stay in a tent and fortunately for him the weather stayed cool enough that he could. It also gave him the chance to have his own space and get some peace and quiet. He did have a box fan to keep the air circulating.
Ahh, the wonderful golf cart. We were thankful the rules stated no one under 18 drives the golf cart - made them the bad guys and not us!

James isn't sad here, the sun was so intense he was squinting. He loved the pool and we are very thankful for the new waterproof casts that are available.

Hamming it up, Jacob spent lots of time jumping off the dock in the middle of the lake.

There goes Thomas diving off as COLD Jacob waits to see what he will do.
