Relaxation

This was the spot that started our passion for camping. For years we loved our tent, on the trip to Grove we were introduced to my brothers pop-up and air conditioning. Four campers later we love our Class C and still love Grove. Shady and private spots close to Grove Marina and perfect for a relaxing weekend with friends.
