I am nearly 8 months pregnant and have a 3-1/2 year old. My husband and I wanted to take a family camping trip this summer but then I thought that sleeping on the ground might be too hard on my poor, aching back. Sooooo...we're looking for a weekend trip somewhere that won't really be roughing it but will be fun. Any ideas of family-friendly places to go for the weekend, mamas?

Thanks!
D.

What can I do next?

Oregon rents yurts in many of the campgrounds. They may not all be reserved yet or you could put your name on a wait list. This way you'd be camping but have a bed. Look on the Internet under Oregon State Parks.

Or you could rent a camper.

We just had a really fun family weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge. My 4 year olds had a blast and we never ran out of things to do. No waterslides for you though mama! They have a good informative website you can check out for more information, but this was a BIG hit for my family!

Hi,

I just found a cool place by chance, it's Mt. Hood Village RV resort. they have full funished cabins in a park setting, so it's like camping but nicer!!

I've found KOA's also offer stuff like this. we've been going to the Astoria one lately (3 times in a row!!!!) and have had a great time. they have indoor pools, parks, pancake breakfast, movies, etc. it's really a great time. so, those are my two suggestions for you to enjoy and go camping!! :)

I just read the other two answers... just fyi - there are two different kinds of cambins. bare bones - thin mattress pads only --- or there are deluxe ones - with a bathroom, nice beds, etc.

so make sure you know what you're getting!! we've been doing the bare bones one - which is great - but maybe at 8 1/2 months preg. I'd splurge!!

Take care,

Carrie.

i would check out the KOA camps, specifically the ones that have cabins so you can have a bed. they're pretty minimal but better than sleeping on the ground, plus they have other amenities in camp. you can also pitch tents there too.

they have one in astoria which is right across the street from fort stevens state park http://www.koa.com/where/or/37182/
