    Ponderosa State Park August 2019

    Ponderosa state Park august 2019 Mule Deer at our campsite at Ponderosa State Park We camped with several of Coleen’s family members at Ponderosa State Park. It’s in McCall, Idaho next to Payette Lake. We’ve enjoyed this campground over the years for family reunions. We fished off the dock, rode bikes, went hiking and kayaking on the lake and a couple miles up the inlet. My family later went back the next week and stayed in one of the cabins. We had a great time catching up with family members. Their favorite thing to do is swim in the lake. It is crowded but the kids love it. One perk is the hot showers and nice restrooms. There is even electricity so we took the crockpot. I’ve never done that before camping. I love the tall Ponderosa Pines that surround the campground and all the birds singing. It’s a beautiful area if you can stand the crowds. I don’t mind it every once in a while but it’s not my typical way I like to camp. You can go into town for shakes when it gets hot! Our Campsite Jacie and I hiked on the Huckleberry Trail and picked Huchleberries for our pancakes. We also saw a half-dozen Pileated Woodpeckers in a group which is the most I’ve ever seen together.
