That's a beautiful, peaceful campground. Can't beat the price either. Thanks for taking us along.

[songlyon]

Thanks! I live in Ohio and I think I will check out this free camping site. Song

Those 'dock anchors' are referred to as 'cleats'.

[pavofan]

Looks like a beautiful spot to camp. And for free too!

[SSArt]

I agree on the magnet fishing! Not only is it fun finding stuff you're cleaning up the waterways too!
_The screwdriver looks like one my Grandfather had back in the good ole days and it was old then!_
Fun stuff and some beautiful weather for you!
Be well and watch out for those boat anchors!

Eric, please don't tie a weight around your foot and throw it in the water! Think about it....😂🤣😁👍😎

I have camped there before. Always cool to see a YouTuber I follow in places I have camped. Rock on man!

[janecuster]

You should go to Hocking Hills and Old Man's Cave---beautiful!

There’s only one nomad channel that for YEARS is consistent in keeping me entertained! That’s Nomadic Fanatic!!!

I just got done watching your 10 year anniversary video (again 🤣) and all of your Washington videos from last year and when you took the ferry to that island… So beautiful! 🤩

You’re always showing me somewhere interesting and I LOVE it!!! 💜❤️🤍💛💙🖤🤎💚

You are amazing!!!

I took a sneak peek at your Patreon… I’m very excited for what’s to come! 🤗🙌👍👏

Be careful Eric! I scraped the guardrail on Chuckanut Drive going to Larabee State Park in Washington and am stuck waiting for parts. Stairs, door, front edge, even my exhaust all got dinged by a 5-second scrape on the stone wall / guard rail going to Larabee State Park. OUCH.

I feel like you may need a different kitty voice for Tara

[heathereusden]

What a lovely spot!! So glad you are out of the heat, rain and humidity. Jax and Terra look great! That hill climb was a real test:)! Best wishes to the three of you.

Cool campground. Don't think the fish liked your bate

[SweetFLGuy]

Eric you made me laugh when you said these two phrases, "Ahhh Common Man", "FREE.99" and the Jax & Tara pop up text message saying "Dad come refill our food bowl" lol

[siouxpayne]

So thrilled that our beautiful Ohio showed you a great time and in exchange, you provided us with a great video of it.

[markattardo]

I wonder if someone dropped the screwdriver putting those cleats on the dock? That's a big magnet! Enjoy the peace!

[Ridgerunner]

I managed manyi campgrounds and your definition of boondocking is exactly right

[glamperjan]

I told you you would love Ohio! Come to Marblehead!

[sharonsteele]

I think the magnet fishing would be more fun and suspenseful and less harmful than regular fishing. Your helping keep the environment clean by picking out toxic garbage from the waters lol.. the kitties are doing great.. stay safe and keep finding. Beautiful locations. 🤗❤️

Did you delete the negative comments about boondocking? After you gave the definition you were immediately next to a bathroom while signing in. Wanted to see if the negative comments were about not boondocking if there's a bathroom. Like the coke hat, Pepsi is horrible.
