Have fun!! I just spent my first time in a PUP a couple weekends ago.  Have you driven around with the camper?  I found backing it into the space to be the hardest part... that, and remembering when to put the stabilizers down at the right time.

Have fun.  And remember, the "problems" that arise are what make a trip memorable.

Looks like a GREAT campground. I am sure you are going to have a blast. Take you time on the set up, walk around twice to make sure you unhooked the roof before cranking it up, dont forget the stabilizers before driving away. Take pictures to post along with you first adventure stories. If you dont know how to do something ask someone there. I am sure there will be somebody that can help.

Have a ball! We camped at Eagle's Peak years ago (30+ :o) but haven't been up there in a long time.

As we were going over lists today my 2 wonderful teenage daughters asked where they are going to be able to set up all of there hair and makeup stuff that they must travel with and of course they each have there own hardware that must be used so now I have to take our shower and changing room combo tent so they both have their own makeup rooms  ??? Looks like the fun is just beginning  😀

After camping with 2 teen females we learned to give them a space limit. You can only bring what fits in this cloths and all. I was the meanest uncle of all times.  After a few trips they figured it out. But Good Luck!!!

They need a shower bag, such as LLBean's personal organizer. LLB makes them in 4 sizes. The largest will hold a hairdryer, too. If it doesn't fit, it can't go. Send them to the showers to use it. No need for you to drag along a room just for them to do their face. They are in the woods after all.

I'm with Thingette 1 and Chief.  Set a limit, there's no reason for them to have their own make up stations like film stars.  Unless they're burn victims and need the makeup for self confidence, limit them!

How old are they?

First of all this was all in good fun when they where talking about this they know me well enough that I could care less if they had a special place to do that stuff. Second it came up because we were talking about when we go to places where we would be leaving the woods and doing some site seeing. And finally there self esteem is just fine
