Backyard Campground

Post by Sir Henry » Tue Jul 19, 2022 1:13 pm

I’m leveling a spot in my backyard to have a fire pit and space for a camper of some sort.

A trip down memory lane. This was my backyard in Washington.

It’s nice to be able to play and not work.

I’ve been playing on the tractor. One more day and I should be ready to spread the gravel.

Are you planning to use a compacter or heavy roller on that raw soil? Otherwise it might not be very satisfactory. Do you plan to add a retaining wall at the up slope? Drainage?

It will have electricity for one stationary vintage trailer. Restrooms are third bush to the left. Water is nearby.

This area will mainly be used as a campfire area and an old camper where I can take a nap fully clothed and covered with dirt. The kitchen will be 30 feet away in the garage.

More pictures of my outdoor living space in Woodinville.
