We keep Improving!

Recently we worked on adding some fencing around the septic connections and power boxes in all the pull-through sites, also adding some border boards to keep the grassy area in between the sites nice. Giving them a little more curb appeal, we hope everyone enjoys the results!

Cooking at Camp

Campfire Chili Mac Skillet
Ingredients

• 1  box of elbow macaroni
• 14 oz. cans of your favorite chili
• 5 cups of water
• 2 cups of shredded old cheddar cheese

Instructions

1. In a large cast iron skillet or Dutch oven, place the water and the elbow macaroni. Cook until the noodles are done – you may have to add more water. Make sure to stir so that it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. You can cook this over the fire or a grill.
2. When the noodles are done the water should be evaporated ( if not, pour it off)  and you can mix in the cans of chili. Heat up again.
3. When the chili is heated through, sprinkle the cheese on top.
4. Return to the fire/grill to melt the cheese.
5. Dig in!
