Camping at Lo Lo Mai Springs

The first day of summer break we took our little pop up camper and headed to Lo Lo Mai Springs. It is an older campground near Sedona. It is right on Oak Creek, and shaded with tall tall cottonwood trees. These trees were amazing...some had to be 70 ft. tall. They were beautiful. The campground was cute...quaint...older...and among other things is home to many bugs! The location was amazing though, really just a beautiful place. We were happy to find a campsite right by the creek.

It took about 10 minutes for the fear of creek critters to wear off...and then we couldn't get them out of there.

More camping...and Sedona

We went to Sedona late one afternoon just to give the kids an idea of what it was like. We could definitely have spent more time there. Next time I'd like to stay a few more days and maybe go for a hike, visit Montezuma's castle, and maybe Jerome. We didn't have too much time, but we stopped at Tlaquepaque to walk around for awhile. They had a brass band playing below and the shops were open late--it was nice.



We had a campfire the last night and roasted/charred marshmallows and made smores. It was a perfect way to end our trip!
