Weekend Scampers
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2021
We are a family of 4 that enjoys traveling and camping. Our videos are a peek into the places we explore, and people we meet along the way. We embrace the season of life where being "full time travel" isn't an option, so we're doing what we can now, to make the most of our weekends with our friends and family.
Summit Lake State Park Campground, New Castle, IN
We never know what to expect when we go to a new state park, but between the great weather, and a site near the lake, we had a great place to add to our list of favorite campgrounds.
Come with us as we spend a weekend at Summit Lake State Park.

Diverse ATV and SXS experience in Pioneer Tennessee.

I always try to get an ATV trip in a couple times a year. Once in the spring, and once in the fall. Normally it's still too cold in the north to not have to pack layers of warm clothes, so we decided to head south, and visit Pioneer, TN. We couldn't have had any better weather on this trip. It was 50's in the morning, and about 70 each afternoon, which made for great riding when you're in the m...

We're kicking off our 2024 travel season with our usual Spring Break/Florida Shenanigans. We started off with a few days in the Tampa Bay Area, then headed for our usual Disney Vacation Club week at another Disney Resort, just to do a pool trip, and hang out at the resort. The twist on this one was, we brought the dog. She did great, but it for sure added a different dynamic to the week, but it...

We generally don't have a ton of time to get more than a couple hours away from home, but the kids were on fall break, so we ventured about 4 hours away and visited Hocking Hills state park. If you like to hike...this is the place for you. The campground has full hookup as well as electric only sites, a pool, a lake, and all the hiking trails you can handle. Its beauty is unmatched (at least in...

If you follow the channel at all, we were here at Raccoon Lake last fall, but we enjoyed it so much, we decided we needed to go back in the summer, and bring the whole family. Lucky for us, it was the hottest few days of summer that we had all year, and the most rain we encountered for most of the year too. I wasn't sure if I was going to make an edit on this one, because we needed to spend tim...

We didn't really bring it up in this video, but if you follow the channel at all, you know that we generally end up on Lake Michigan at Silver Lake Sand Dunes for at least a few days out of the year.

This year was my (Kraig's) 40th year co...

At the end of the day, family is all you've got.

We didn't record as much as usual, because we wanted to make sure and spend time with the family, but as usual, it t...

Life and work (and a new puppy) have gotten in the way of maximum fun this summer, but we finally got to get out and visit Prophetstown State Park. This is our favorite Indiana State Park (so far) and also the newest campground at a state park to our knowledge. The water park was a great getaway from the heat, and it was only $5! You can't hardly get a coffee these days for $5, so we for sure f...
Staying at Devil's Backbone Adventure Resort & ATV's on Hatfield McCoy Trails

If you've followed the channel for any length of time, you know we frequently do ATV travels in Michigan. For this trip, we decided since it was so cold still up north, we would head south and go visit West Virginia and the Hatfield McCoy trail system. I will say, compared to the sand trails of Michigan, these for sure beat my body more, but that could have a lot to do with the equipment I'm us...

If you've been following the channel since the beginning, you know that years and years ago we made the best irresponsible decision thus far in life by buying into Disney Vacation Club.

This year we decided to check out Wilderness Lodge an...
Come visit Gatlinburg & Nashville with us!

We had some work conferences in Nashville for a few days one week, and we decided we should take a couple days to check out Gatlinburg while we were in Tennessee. Since it was January, Gatlinburg wasn't real active, which made for a more easy going time getting around town (other than the retailers out on the street trying to yank us into their stores), and Nashville did not disappoint as we go...

In this episode of Weekend Scampers, we go to a new park we've never been to before, that is probably in our top two favorite places we've been as far as Indiana State Parks go.

In this episode of Weekend Scampers we head to Pokagon State Park in Angola, Indiana. This wasn't one of our greatest weather weekends, so we didn't have an abundance of things that we did, but we managed to get out on some trails, check out the park, and there was a poker run for a sea plane group, and this was one of their stops. We've never really seen anything like this up close, so it was ...

In this episode, I get a chance to get away for a day with some friends to do the one thing that I possibly love more than camping. We headed north to Baldwin, Michigan where (from my opinion) has the best trail riding in Michigan, for the kind of trails I like. Every year older I get, I wonder if it's not going to be as enjoyable as the last, but every time I'm reminded this is my favorite pla...

You need to check out Versailles State park.
I don’t think I’ve even heard of that one. Is that in southern Indiana? Being on the north end of the state we don’t get far south as much as we’d like to.
Summit is a very nice lake. It is an idle speed only lake. Great lake for crappie, perch & walleye, if you fish.
We were pleasantly surprised! We never know what to expect so we don’t get our hopes up but that was a great lake!
Does club 37 still have good food?
Boy I bet it’s been 8-10 years since I’ve been there but last time we were there we just did burgers and it was decent.
Great video. Can’t wait for the next ones!!!
Take gas tank with you
lol. We have had all these things happen when camping. But not in one trip. You have a great attitude
We camped there in April. Already have a reservation for September. Only camp Monday-Friday. Retired so we like it quiet. Lots of stuff to do in Rockville as well
Love the hybrid joke Kraig.
Great Videos.!. Just bought my first camper and heading to Mile High Campground in Cherokee NC. Great place. No hookups but they have a bathhouse. Great views!!!
Thanks for the kind words! Mile High sounds pretty awesome. We haven’t found any place “off grid” yet to try out our generator/solar options, but are for sure looking for one.
Which campsite did you guys go to. Looks fun
What is the range 20,30,40, feet? some need a booster to read correctly
I measured and my truck is 20ft and from the front of the tongue to the back of my rear tires it's 25ft, so in my particular case it's 45 feet from the receiver to the where the monitors are and it's never not connected.
Have you ever stayed at Sycamore Springs in Taswell Indiana? Highly recommend ❤
We have not. I’ll have to look that up!
Hahaha, Kraig standing out in the rain with the dog was great!
Not my happiest moment but it’s funny to look back on now that we’re not potty training a puppy anymore!
Thanks for the shout it. It was great meeting you guys. Hope you guys enjoyed Port Orleans as much as we do. Next time you go to Raccoon, give us a shout. There’s a pretty good chance we’ll be boating there.
It was a great place. We enjoy trying as many different ones as we can, so I’m sure it’ll be somewhere new next time. There’s no Racoon scheduled for this year, but we’ll see what next year holds. Thanks for coming up and introducing yourself!
Michigan roads suck...always been this way!
You should check out Hideaway campground!! It's amazing!!!
Have you guys been to Turkey Run?
We personally have not, but our last trip to Raccoon Lake we had family that went over there for the day. Sounds like it’s a great place to hike, but maybe best to still camp at Raccoon Lake and then go over to turkey run, because the campground over there is smaller?
We haven’t camped at either. We do a lot of boating at Raccoon, we live 20 minutes away, and the hiking at Turkey Run is probably the best in the state.
Yeah id rather be ripping a sxs on 32's with my cooler and stereo
What campground did you stay in?
That was Sun Outdoors Petoskey Bay Harbor. Pretty spendy to stay there, but possibly the cleanest RV Resort I've ever been to. Really nice place.
I’m fortunate to live in the area. Great place to hang out. If you are a Hamilton County resident you get a discount.
It’s a great river. Any time we’re camping anywhere that has access to it, we’ve never been disappointed in the floating opportunities.
It does drive me crazy that we have to leave the campground, and get 5-10 mins down the road, to find we have a low pressure issue. Finding somewhere to pullover with a 30' travel trailer can be challenging in New England. Or, as noted in the video, unscrew each sensor, with the unit turned on, before rolling out. Thanks for putting this together for us !
Has yours always been delayed? As long as I turn my display on before I hook on, mine 9 times out of 10 will show up as soon as I pull my trailer out of the shop.
Unfortunately, yeah. Mine’s solar and sitting on my dash so pretty much on all the time. The numbers are always there in the display but they don’t update until we get rolling. I purchased the repeater at the same time and am going to add it in to see if it makes any difference. Will let you guys know.
Its Ski pop (you just can't call it soda) - If you are so inclined it is currently only made in Chattanooga & you can order from them direct, but the shipping has made it quite $$$). You can sometimes find it in Cracker Barrels and Old timey general stores. Here is where its is distributed - Alabama, Alaska, California, Georgia, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, and West Virginia. Ingles used to have it here in NC but TN, WV and Ohio are your best bets. I grew up w/it in SE Ohio and whenever we go back we bring back cases (Over Christmas my kids brought back 5 cases).
gotta love the guy trying not to be seen taking a piss at 9:48
That may or may not have been intentionally shot and edited into the video for a good laugh.
I hit the thumbs up as soon as I saw the Ski!! 😂❤
I blame you for that by the way. I didn’t even know what the stuff was before you were advertising for them.
I'm always trying to get people to join the Ski family. Haha.
Great video, gives me and my wife good ideas of where we can camp. We are Hoosiers. It’s nice to watch your videos during snow storms. In winter
Thanks for the kind words! We’ll do our best to find new places to share. Sometimes with schedules we can’t get to as many places as we’d like that are new, but we’re trying to explore Indiana and the surrounding states as often as we can.
Did I miss what days this trip was?
This was the second week of October. Great hiking weather but without having much rain near that timeline, we didn’t get to see hardly any of the water features. Still cool, but would like to see the waterfall stuff someday!
The top loop @ Conkles is pretty awesome in the Fall. Coming up (typically) MLK weekend is the Winter hike which starts @ Old Mans, goes thru Cedar Falls where they have free bean soup for lunch (which is worth the trip) & on to Ash Cave where they then bus you back to Old Mans. Easy 6 miles. & hopefully lots of ice and frozen features.
Sorry you missed all the waterfalls , it's better to see when water is flowing spring ,summer and winter , I've been there 5 times , never saw it that dry .
I’m guessing we’ll hit it again in the future, but with kids in school it seems to always lock us in to times that don’t line up with premium time to be there.
7:05 I love Texas Roadhouse yummy
5:52 good thing man and dad had a big truck to come help cheers to them
4:18 sounds like a rough day
4:54 try setting up tent in the rain ☔️ no fun at all than you have to get your gear in
1:41 looks like a fun start love ❤️ camping in the rain at least you’re set up basically
I prefer some chips over celery lol
Wife slipped on the loose dirt on stairs

How are the trails this time of year got a new scrambler looking to go the week between Christmas and new years
I realize I'm late to reply, but I didn't have an answer. If you look on the Manistee Forest ORV Club Facebook page, there's normally some halfway updated trail info there on a weekly basis. Someone commented yesterday that the trails were great right now.
you r not on trail u r on route big difference
Come to Oregon from September till may it's a a river from the sky
Sounds like I better come between May to August instead! Would love to get out to that side of the country for a summer. Too much work at this stage of life to make it happen currently.
I need an umbrella update. Did you get one for the camper yet?? 😂
I'm sure you're on the edge of your seat...you'll just have to wait for the next video to drop later this week I guess. Gotta give you a reason to come back.
Your banshee?
Yep. My uncle bought it new in 99 and I bought it from him in 2004 basically with the nubs still on the tires. I don’t think I’ll ever let it go.
DVC is awesome we bought in at the same time.
We call it our best worst investment. Probably shouldn’t have bought it but seeing how expensive everything is now turned out to be a good mistake!
@@WeekendScampers yea no kidding we go every year. But it payed for its self after we went to Hawaii.
@@keneppink7272 that sounds awesome. We haven't decided if that trip is for us yet or not. I'm pushing the wife for doing the Alaska RV trip sometime before I'm too old, trying to figure out what the work side of that looks like though, cause that'd be an all summer trip if I'm going to do it. Bucket list stuff.
@@WeekendScampers yeah my dad retired Bought a brand new truck and a brand new fifth wheel and drove from Michigan all the way up to Alaska for four months.
@@keneppink7272 Yep, that's what I need to do...just worried I'm not gonna make it to retirement, that's never a guaranteed.
😂That little bird was relentless! Enjoyed the video! We’re part-timers too, from KY. And we don’t blame ya, Mammoth Cave is cool, but can be a been-there-done-that kinda place. Looking forward to following more of your adventures 😊
Thanks for the kind words! Appreciate you following.
my 2023 first started leaking around the hoses, I replaced them at my cost as i didnt want to deal with jayco. Now the regulator on my 23 is going out and only one side of it works. Doesn't seem like they are putting quality parts up front. Are there better aftermarket solutions?
I’ve been told by the dealers that there are basically two manufacturers that make everything and there isn’t a giant difference in those two. I obviously can’t confirm that, but for me, I ended up getting one on Amazon or eBay I forget which, that was a different brand than the original. So far, so good, but who knows how long it’ll last. Stuff for sure doesn’t last like it used to.
Cool video. It’s on my list to ride ATVs up there. Maybe next year
Just make sure to bring a strong back!
