Kejimkujik National Park ~ Day 1 - Front-Country Car Camping



Charlotte and Will went down a night early to do a spot of front-country camping at Jeremy’s Bay Campground in Kejimkujik National Park, with plans to meet Michelle in the morning, who was catching a ride down with our friends, Jody and Tanya.







After setting up camp, we spent the last of the evening sunlight playing at the playground nearby...






...then settled in for a real “Dad Feast” of steak, fried halloumi cheese, pork belly, and steamed vegetables to fend off the scurvy.







The weather was cold and crystal clear, with a frost warning issued for that night, so we made sure Charlotte was nice and snuggly in her Hennessy Hammock. Will even boiled water and gave her two hot water bottles (just in case).


Of course, she kicked her covers off because she was too hot!




The stars were fabulous all evening, and along with a barred owl, keeping is company in the tree next door, we saw a bunch of shooting stars when we scrambled out of our sleeping bags for a 2 am pee in the woods.




All in all, Dad was proud of his little girl for adapting so well to sleeping in a hammock in the middle of the woods. Next morning, it was up and atom. Time to break camp, and step it up a notch for a bit of back-country canoe camping.
