Blue River Camping

My favorite quarantine weekend adventure was our camping trip along the Blue River in Tishomingo.  We had been monitoring chances of rain the week before going.  It wasn't until Friday night at 7:30 we decided camping was a GO.  We quickly gathered up our camping gear, headed to bed and were off the next morning!  

I didn't know what to expect in Blue River but it was phenomenal.  Absolutely gorgeous!  We scored the best campsite right along the river.  Our campsite was secluded, river access, multiple fire pits and river rope swings, trails going every direction from the site and no other campsite in our view!  You couldn't reserve campsites so we chanced it by driving 2.5 hours not knowing if anything was open.  Totally out of my comfort zone but 100% worth it!  
 Sadie was our tent watchdog!  This house dog has become quite the adventurous dog!
These views were amazing!
 The kids loved the rope swings!  Would love to go back when the river is warmer for swimming!


Mason's birthday kayak was a super fun addition to camping!  We had the perfect water entrance at our campsite.  Tyler and Mason kayaked and fished the entire day!



 While they were fishing the rest of the crew went exploring! 




Such a hidden gem in Oklahoma!

We had on and off rain while we were trying to cook dinner.  We would get everything out, fire started, it would start raining, we would pull everything in the tent and then the rain would stop.  This happened on repeat but we were able to get dinner, smores, campfire stories and games all in!  

This picture was during one of the rain stints.  A little rest never hurts! 
We had a fun late night in the tent playing cards and twister with the kids.  So many laughs and memories made.  This will be a night I will never forget!  A night of camping with my people was so good for the soul!


Everyone slept great!  The running river was the perfect noisemaker for a peaceful sleep!  We definitely plan to have another camping adventure soon.  It was a hit with the entire Miller family!
