I’ve been looking for a tent trailer for a few months now. I thought I could really use it for summer camping events, and to stay in when visiting my uncles cottage, etc. I didn’t want to spend tons of money, my budget was around 1500-2000.

I recently saw the ad on kijiji, and immediatly went to have a look. It’s a 1995 jayco J-series, model 1006. He’s asking 2000. And that day I offered him 1500 and he accepted. I picked it up Saturday and set it up and it’s perfect! Now I just sit and wait a few months for winter to be over and camping weather to arrive!

This summer I wanted to camp as much as possible.. so, a few of us booked a spot at Fanshawe for the weekend.  Firstly, the weather was AWESOME!  26-27 degrees the whole weekend, and perfectly sunny skies!

We got a good game of volleyball in as well, and a few games of horseshoes!  Awesome weekend overall!

Next camping adventure?  Cottage labour day weekend, then back to the Pinery after that!

This post is just my BLOG post for Six Mile Lake. For my official review of Six Mile Lake, click HERE

I’ll start with Six Mile Lake Provincial Park.  This park was awesome!  It’s right near where we used to own a cottage, so I was very familiar with the area.  Our site was VERY private.  There was a small driveway that went to our site, and it was situated on a nice open rock, with lots of room for picnic tables, and tents, etc.  It was a open site, so there wasn’t much shade.  From our site, we couldn’t even see the camp road, or any other campsites. 

Other sites seemed pretty private as well, some sites were even up on a hill, overlooking a pond. The park was very nice and clean, but the main problem was there were no flushing toilets near the sites.  You had to go to the beach area, or front gate for that.  The beaches were also pretty mediocre. 

We didn’t spend much time throughout the day in the park.  We went to the cottage and did alot of swimming, and some 4×4’ing with the ATV.  We also visited BALA, and Port Carling (really nice small port towns).

That’s about it.  Had a great relaxing time!

The second spot was Pinery.  We all had a great time.  Mostly sat at the campsite and talked, but we did go to the beach a couple times, on walks, etc, etc.  The campfires at night were decent.  Our campsite was OK, a little close to the neighbors.  We also had a tent trailer with us, which was awesome!  Waaay better then a tent. I even played my first game of Horseshoes! (next goal wins!). I enjoyed the Pinery. Ate like a king!

There will be more camping, and more cottaging to come!
