Taking the boys to Bogue Chitto for a few days
Looking for some interesting camp food ideas

Foil pizza pockets. Peta pockets filled with favorite pizza filings and wrapped in aluminum foil, then put on hot coals for a few minutes to melt cheese and heat the filling.

This is what I was going to suggest. If you do a search for campfire foil packets there's tons of great ideas. We used to make desserts by taking waffle cones and filling them with marshmallows and toppings like dried fruit, nuts and chocolate chips. Wrap them in foil and stick them in the fire till they're melty.

That sounds awesome
re. the pita pizza, did you ‘open’ the pita and put everything in the pocket or just make a pita calzone?
I did the calzone method but there was a slight issue for me that there wasn’t enough sauce per bread
trying to figure how to make it saucier forget next time

What campground?

fwiw - it looks like Bogue Chitto is adding 'permanent' tents in it's Rv area (maybe 6'x12'x8' 'canvas' army type tents - they're a sand color and probably not actual canvas, but that's the look) - probably aiming for some sweet spot between 'roughing it' camping and cabins

That is a new thing for campgrounds, offering Glamping (fancy camping), where the tent and site is all set up and you just show up with your bags.

Say, "HI" to Paris Hilton when you see her.

One of the best camping experiences in "The Boot" is at Petit Jean State Park.
We go there every couple of years.
Stunning scenery.
My cousin and his family will be going there in a few weeks.

Camped at Lake Ouachita State Park the week after Christmas last year and it is a great park and was very clean.

Tents or yurts? I really wanna stay in a yurt.

Take food that doesn't contain mayo stored at room temp for several hours. You'll be fine

The park that seagull recommended has yurts
$50/night
Not too bad
