Family Camping Trip to Lake Nacimiento

During the summer I went camping with my family to Lake Nacimeinto up North. I was really looking forward to the trip because we rented a RV and I was happy because I don’t like sleeping in the tents. The drive there was about 5 hours, but it was all worth it because we were able to stop at the gas stations and they were right by the beach. It was our first time going camping all together as a big family. So once we were getting closer to Lake Nacimeinto, my phone didn’t have signal. Driving up that huge mountain was scary because the turns were so sharp and we were in a huge RV, I felt like we were going to drive off the mountain. But thank God that didn’t happen, especially because it was my uncle’s first time driving a RV.

Finally we got to the top where the camp ground was located, safely. Once we found our campground spot, we started unloading everything from the RV. My uncles were putting up all the tents, and the kids were ‘trying’ to put up their tent. (Didn’t go to well) They had all the sticks in the wrong places, it just looked a mess. Finally, our campground looked nice and set for the rest of the days we were going to stay there, and let me say we stayed for a whole week. The kids wanted to go in the lake so I took them to the lake while everyone else was getting ready. The water was cold but as soon as you got into the water it felt fresh, especially since the sun was jus beaming on our bodies. The sand felt weird, it wasn’t mushy it was a rocky feeling. As we were enjoying the lake fishes would actually swim up to the shore and just swim in between my toes. That was nastiest feeling ever, it felt so slimy and just disgusting. Later on I got on the jet ski’s and it was so fun, there was a huge wave and the wave was so strong that it made me loose control of the jet ski and I flew off, it was scary but fun at that same time. The food we ate was so delicious. One thing that I will always remember about that camping trip; the first night we slept there we forgot to put the food away in the coolers and containers. The deer’s came a attacked our campground. I had heard something walking around in our area at night, but I was too scared to lookout the window but I did anyways and the deer’s were eating out food that we left out. The next morning all we did was laugh about it, and went to go buy more groceries. Throughout the week we went to the lake, the pool, and played volleyball. The boys were so competitive in volleyball; they would complain about every little thing and would want a rematch if they lost. So it was like if we had a volleyball tournament, but it was fun to have a competition between the girls and the guys. As the nights passed we would see the deer’s just walking around and they weren’t scared of us. We were in their home anyways so they had the right to walk all over our property. Camping all together as a big family was so much fun, now we know what to bring and will be more experienced the next camping trip that we do.
