"In this group, we have 11 campers with us," said Relph Heck, a camper from San Diego. "[A total of] 35 to 40 people.”
Heck and his family have been spending independence day at this very spot for the past 12 years.
"The one thing I look forward to is the company, the comradery, and the patriotism of everyone that comes," said Heck. "You're not going to find an unhappy camper in here.”
The Heck family even made it down last year.
"It was way different last year because of COVID," Heck said.
The campsite remained open, but not without COVID-19 restrictions
“We weren't able to do any of the events, any of the live music," said Dave Mack, guest relations manager at Campland. "We weren't able to have gatherings in large groups.”
