Whirlism, we have two labs and camp all the time with them. My suggestion is get into a routine similar to what you have at home. They will adjust nicely so long as you keep consistency. Look forward to meeting the girls and see you there!

And our 2 Doxies will be there as well. They love camping.

Some of us are meeting at Penn Wood this week(end)...May 10-12th. So far we know of 6 Airstreams heading in that direction. PM us if you need details!
We would love to have you join us!

Good afternoon Airstreamers,

We are rather new to Airstreaming and would really like to find a date and place to get together as well. As every weekend does not work for some, I figure it's better to have options!

I am looking at the weekend of June 8-10 in mid-southern Ohio and found this great campground. They have full hookups and you "can't make a reservation, they'll have room," which is surprising. The rate is $28 per night for full hookups and $36 includes swimming (of course optional, thanks for that!).

We would arrive Friday evening and leave Sunday afternoon. Check in is anytime after 8:00am and check out is before 5:00pm.....now that's awesome....no rushing.

Anyone up for it?...here's the site.

Long's Retreat: RV Camping

Hello AirVintage:

Glad to have another Airstreamer in Ohio! I checked out your blog and saw that you're rather new to it. I also see you're jumping in with both feet and hitting big trips right away. Congrats.

Long's Retreat looks like a great place. Cincinnati and points just east of there are a target for us someday. We've planned to go to the Cincinnati area a couple of times but for one reason or another haven't gotten there.

I'll put a reminder on the calendar for June 8-10. We don't have my son's baseball game schedule yet, but last year didn't have games on the weekend. Maybe we'll see you there.

AirVintage,
We are in Northwest Ohio but camp a lot in the Cincinnati area. I wish we could join you in June, but we'll be on vacation most of the month. Hoping to see you somewhere down the road!

AirVintage · 05-11-2012, 07:39 AM

Thanks Silvermine,

You'll have to let me know next time you're in the area.

We don't get a whole lot of weekends off together, and the June date is the next one.

Hi and Welcome!
Glad you found this thread!
Larry and I will be at Alumapalooza the whole week of May 29-June 3rd and then we have courtesy parkers at our place after. We don't have anything on the calendar for June 8th yet, so we will put a reminder on the calendar.
Thanks for inviting us!

I just want to thank those who showed up for the fun at pennwood this past weekend. We had a great time with some great folks! Happy Mother's Day to all the AirMoms out there!!

WineStream · 05-13-2012, 06:50 PM

I forgot to put this up yesterday, but there's still over 24 hours if anyone wants to do it. It's a groupon for the Wally World Resort in Loudonville, OH. It includes 2 nights in the campground with RV hookups and a canoe trip. The date is not fixed...you have to call and make your reservation when you want. It just must be used before Oct 17. We bought one of these. We have not set a date to go as we are hoping others that we know will buy as well and we can go camping as a group. If you buy one, please post here.

Whirlism · 05-13-2012, 08:04 PM

We, too, had a great weekend camping with you folks at Penn Wood. The humor, campfire, goodie bags, Mother's Day cards, gifts, and ESPECIALLY the morning waffles made for a really enjoyable gathering. Thanks so much to everybody!

loudruff · 05-14-2012, 11:29 AM

Isn't PennWood a wonderful spot to meet? We had a great time. Loved getting together with the "silver family" and our new friends there! We have to do it again really soon! Maybe some of you will join us at West Branch SP for the next informal.....if not before that!

loudruff · 05-14-2012, 11:33 AM

Just wanted to post that our friends, Big Al and Jean, from Ontario, will be driveway camping with us this weekend. Jean is going to be in the Cleveland Marathon on Sunday. They come down to visit with us before the race and will be in on Thursday. If anyone wants to come and visit please do! Sounds like Al and Larry will be doing some vent work/replacement while they are here. Ahhh...another inservice opportunity! LOL!!

WineStream · 05-14-2012, 06:57 PM

Would love to come and see Al & Jean and everyone else, but this weekend is Tin Can Tourists in Michigan, so while Al & Jean come south, we'll be going north! I've been wanting to go to TCT since we got into Airstreaming / vintage camping and finally we're going.

Looks like we're officially out for this one. My family's reunion got scheduled the Saturday of this weekend. I think it is usually on a Sunday, but it's Saturday this year. If it were Sunday, I think I could have made it work...just go to the reunion on the way home.

Airbiscuit · 05-22-2012, 04:48 PM

Bummer Jason!

Mikethefixit · 05-22-2012, 05:19 PM

Gee , I guess I need to check this thread more often,Looks like we are missing lots of camping. My health is not to good, so the trips need to be short. Trips like penn wood would be out,due to the distance. At this point in time the Airstream is still in winter trim. No one is camping in our area so there is no need to get it ready.

My son has games every Saturday through June 30th, so we won't be able to make this as we had hoped. We could do something local in our area so that we could still make it to the game, but so far away won't work for us.

AirVintage · 06-04-2012, 11:46 AM

We're still headed to Long's Retreat this weekend in Latham, OH in preparation for the The Bash in July. We have a couple of things to work on before the trip.

We'll get there around 8:00pm this coming Friday night, June 8th and leave on Sunday.

Anyone wishing to join or in the neighborhood is certainly welcome!

Here's the campground's website and they do not accept advance reservations as they have enough space for everyone:

Happy trails!
