Family Bike Camping // Lake Farm Park // May 2023

The first of our family-focused bike camping trips is a great introduction to family camping by bike.

The ride from The Cargo Bike Shop to Lake Farm County Park is approximately 7 miles and consists almost entirely of bike path. The terrain is flat to slightly rolling and should be manageable for most cyclists, even kiddos if you are patient. We will have a group departure from TCBS, or if you prefer to ride as your own group, we can provide basic directions if you need them. Trust us that Google Maps will get you there!

The group site at Lake Farm Park has plenty of great spots for your tent allowing us to spread out and each have our own space. Additionally, there is a campfire ring, a hand-pump well for water, and "deluxe" pit toilets. From the campsite, there is easy access to a large playground as well as to Lake Waubesa. There are showers in the main campsite along with running water.

What's provided:

• Guided group ride to and from the group campsite
• Grill to cook on, cooler(s) with ice, and a water jug for easy water access
• Gear shuttle - let us carry as much or as little of your gear as you desire. This includes space for food in our coolers.
• Campfire wood and s'mores fixings
• Piping hot coffee and a selection of pastries Sunday morning

There is car access and parking available if you have part of the family that wants to drive to join us or not stay overnight.

This is a family bike camping trip first and foremost, but if don't have kids and want to experience bike camping you are welcome to join. Just be cool with kids being around and the schedule accommodating their needs as far as stops along the way and quiet time at the campsite. Basically, kids of all ages are welcome.

If you have questions about if you can do it, if your group will fit in, or really anything please contact us and we'll help figure things out.
