THE JOYS OF TOYS
The Convenient Camper
By Bill and Kendra Mulholland of Indianbrook
Growing up, I had gone on many camping trips with my parents and family. As something I greatly enjoyed as a child, I wanted to share these experiences with my wife, children, and eventually our grandchildren. We first started camping in a very large tent back in 2006 and eventually purchased our first travel trailer a couple of years later. Since then, we have purchased three additional travel trailers, with our newest purchase of the 2022 Forest River Vibe model in May 2022. We mostly like to travel to state parks and campgrounds that are within close proximity to our home in Indianbrook. Indian Lake State Park has been Kendra’s favorite spot simply due to the many opportunities for activities for all ages. I do not have a preference as long as I am with my family and friends. We have been discussing taking the new RV on more distant adventures to explore new places and things in the near future. I believe we may be taking the new RV to the Hocking Hills area in August sometime, which we are looking forward to. We have enjoyed many fun camping trips with family and friends over the years and we are looking forward to many more in the future. We enjoy the serenity and peaceful environment we find when we go camping. It provides us an opportunity to escape the stresses of our everyday lives and to decompress for a bit. Although our new RV has many things to offer for comfort, we just enjoy sitting outside in nature together, playing games, going for walks, or just reading to relax.
Even though this summer started off on a sour note for our family, we will not lose the opportunities to live our best lives going forward. We look forward to meeting others who enjoy camping as much as we do and hope to make many new friends along the way. Safe travels to everyone who enjoys camping as much as we do.

My fiancé Amanda and I love to camp with our three kids at Huggy Bear Campground in Middle Point. This is definitely our favorite spot, so much so that we rented permanent spots for our campers there for 8 years. Now, we do enjoy going back there multiple times a year, sometimes staying for a week at a time. Hayes, Harper and Emma enjoy the facilities that are available at Huggy Bear, while we love that the kids always have something to do! They have three swimming pools, a splash pad, swimming and fishing ponds, mini-golf, a playground, two kangaroo jumpers, sports fields and trails for our golf cart! Some of the best things about camping are the friendships we have made over the years and there is always fun to be had. I also enjoy when everyone in the family is loaded up on the golf cart and is cruising around, visiting with each other, and listening to music.
In 2020 when Covid hit our business very hard, we stopped renting our permanent spot at the campground and made the decision to offer our Salem Hemisphere camper up for rent for others to enjoy. With having great success in renting out the Salem Hemisphere we decided this past winter to add an additional rental camper, which led to the purchase of our Keystone Hideout. Both of the campers are very similar which makes it easier for us to rent out. I realized that many people miss out on the wonderful joys of camping because there is so much work involved. My business now offers a camper rental service to help you take the work out of camping. You rent the spot, provide us with the lot number, we then show up, set the camper up and have it ready for when you arrive.
Here are some highlights of the Salem Hemisphere and our Keystone Hideout campers that are available for rent from Lucky Limo: Sleeps 10, electric awning, outdoor kitchen with fridge, indoor and outdoor stereo system, gas grill and much more!
