I hope you had a great Memorial Day weekend! We got to Sun Lake State Park on Friday evening and stayed through Monday. Golf, water sports, fishing, drinking, eating & fun around the campfire.

Like many American's, on Memorial Day weekend I like to get out of town and go camping. My go-to spot that last few years has been Sun Lakes State Park near Ephrata. What's your favorite go-to camping spot or campground?
