We are making plans for our first Thanksgiving while camping. I've done it once before about 18 years ago when my parents came down to Tennessee and we went to a state park. I was still using a pop-up and that was a bit drafty, hah hah! Mom and Dad had their 5th wheel so there was always a place to warm up. Thanksgiving diner was a simple affair. They brought down turkey meat they'd prepared at home and a pre-made casserole that Mom popped into the oven and made the mashed potatoes on the stove top. It was cool weather but dry and we had a roaring fire going most of the time. The campground at Montgomery Bell SP was nearly empty though there were other hardy souls out there doing the same thing. The deer would come right up to you in the campground and feed from your hand.
So this is our year for Thanksgiving camping. We'll be parking the Premier at Kentucky Lake and smoking a turkey in the large Weber kettle grill I'll bring for the occasion. Got a killer green bean casserole recipe for crock pot from RV.net forum and will do the 'taters while there. Janet will make her fabulous sweet potato pie and take it along. Should be a good time!
I'm including a pic. of the loop we plan to back into...it'll be awesome looking out over the lake through the big picture window in the back of the Premier!
