Welcome to Campfire Park where the campfire’s always cracking and visitors are always welcome.

Proper illumination
The ideal lighting for reading a book

by

Any well respecting reader knows:

You need a good lamp to probably read a book.

Cowboy talks “proper illumination”

My choice is a standing lamp with an articulated arm. This allows me to get the light in the exact spot that I need it to clearly see from my paperback book. Now, I know there are a lot of fancy and new fangled devices that provide the backlighting so you can read any old where, even in the middle of the dark. My issue with that is this: Some books require the good old-fashioned paper version to properly digest, and get lost within. Case in point are the Campfire Trilogy of books written by Robert V. Sobczak and Rudi Heinrich. Yes, I could read these books on my phone, or some other digital device, it isn’t until I completely unplug and soak them up in the soft lamp light that they truly transport me to the adventure of the story flow.

Now don’t get me wrong: I’m not a Luddite. But I also equally know that sometimes the paperback is the absolute way to go. Yes, technology is great, but let’s not lose our connections to “unplugged” books.

Free meal guarantee
Plus a tasty dessert

We all know the terrible feeling …

of ordering the wrong meal at a restaurant.

Call Your Uncle!

Fortunately, Uncle & Uncle is in your corner. Not only will they guarantee you a free meal (and tasty) meal. For dessert they’ll make sure you get to eat your cake and have it, too. Don’t let you stomach rumble: “Call Your Uncle!” 1-800-Uncle-Uncle (Conditions may apply)

Backstory on Uncle & Uncle: This character (or characters) is featured in the Centennial Campfire Trilogy of books, including (1) The Legend of Campfire Charlie, (2) Last Stand at Boulder Ridge and (3) Final Campfire by co-authors Robert V. Sobczak and Rudi Heinrich. A bit unexpectedly, Uncle & Uncle took on a life of its own in Campfire Park … in a good way. Uncle & Uncle is supposed to be funny, and a bit of de-stressor for all those stupid things in life that bring us down. But aren’t we always laughing about them afterwards? That in a nutshell is what Uncle & Uncle is all about.

Scenic Muscovy Lake
Art of balancing protection and access

by

Here at Campfire Park …

We like to let people enjoy nature.

Cowboy answers fan mail

But sometimes people can love nature too much. Too many people in one spot can start to leave impacts. Such was the case at Scenic Lake when an unexpected visitor arrived: A Muscovy Duck. Just as quickly the visitors cleared out. (Let’s just say it isn’t the most majestic of creatures). Departure of the duck eventually led to a return of the visitors and the tell-tale impacts of over use they left behind. The solution? The Lake was aptly renamed Scenic Muscovy Lake. It was that inspired naming convention that led to just the right balance of preservation and visitation.
