Camping Experience: We started around 10:40 am. First we went to Walmart and Indian store to purchase some items. Around  12:30  am we ordered food for lunch while we were on the way to campsite. We picked our food and continue to campsite.

We got stuck in the traffic and had our lunch around 1:00 pm in the car. We entered to Boydton city ,that was very pleasant and next we entered into North Bend Park area. Before reaching the camp site we saw John H Kerr dam and reservoir then we entered into our campsite. We registered and bought firewood in gas station which is near to our camp site. We reached our camp ground around 5 pm.The camp ground was so beautiful. There we have large trees. One of the best thing was there is beach on the back side of our camp ground. The weather was pleasant and sunny. There were so many mosquitoes also at the camp ground. Camp ground has clean area for tent. Entire camp ground was fully covered with small stones. There were Wooden picnic table, fire pit and grill on top of it for barbecue and place for car parking at the camp ground. First we pitched our tent in the designated area. This time we bought many new things for camping. We bought two folding beds, pillows, one small table,one small fan, projector, projector screen. We arranged the two beds in the tent and set the table in front of the beds.

On that table we kept laptop and projector and kept screen in front of projector. While I was doing all these set up in the tent, my wife arranged all the things for food. We kept all cooking items in the car and went to the beach. The river was so beautiful. The entire view was excellent. The river water was very cold. We spent more than one hour at the river. Then we came back from river to our camp ground. The marination was ready for cooking. Then took the coal and firewood for panneer tikka. Lighted the coal and firewood using the lighter fuel.Covered the grill with aluminium foil. Once the grill was heated enough, placed panneer tikka sticks(skewers having veggies along with panneer) on the grill. In between added coal to have the consistency of heat. Meanwhile we cooked rice in pressure cooker for rice wraps. After the panneer tikka we placed the rice wraps in between the heated charcoal. Our food was ready to eat. We packed all the items used for food and kept in the car. We took the food and went into the tent. We had our dinner around 11:00 pm . We watched a movie in the tent.

Felt like watching the movie in theater except for the fact that we were watching while leaning on bed. Then we slept around 1:30 am. We woke up in the morning around 6:30 am.We done our morning chores. Then we went to the river to play in the river water.Around 10 am we had bornvita and curd rice for breakfast. Then we were decided to pack the tent and get back to home because it's getting hot and no wind as well. We dumped our trash. Next we parked our car in tree shadow place and went to the river. We spend nearly one hour time there then we came back to the car. we freshened ourselves in the campground restrooms. Then we started to home around 1 pm. We had our lunch around 2:00 pm in subway. We reached home around  5:30 pm. This time we very much enjoyed the camping (near river, arranged projector, screen and watching movie in the tent). It was a wonderful experience to us. It was a beautiful and memorable experience. All is Well.
