Bison meat can seem unfamiliar to many of our new campers. Most haven’t experienced it and are curious to give it a try. Often, it only takes one time eating this delicious meat to make new people fans of the taste and texture.
Bison meat is higher in moisture than other common meats and fish. It’s higher in iron while being lower in fat and calories. The meat has a somewhat stronger, sweeter flavor than these other options.
Here, in our store, we offer a wide variety of Bison meat options. Some items you can expect to see are burgers, ribs, roasts, sausage, steaks, stew meat, and hot dogs. You can also pick up some recipe books, coffee mugs, and other items to take home for yourself or as gifts for your unfortunate friends who had to stay home this trip.
It’s fun to bring your pets along when you’re camping and they think it’s fantastic, too. They love the outdoors just as much as you do. It’s good for your mood, your health, and your sense of companionship. There are a couple of things to watch out for in making sure your pet has the best experience possible when visiting a new campground.
As families get busier and life becomes more hurried we are finding the popularity of cabin camping just continues to rise. There are many advantages to a cabin rental, here at Shenandoah Hills Campground, and we think you’d love it! We have two types of cabins to choose from, each of them sleeping 4 people. 
We know you work hard and look forward to your vacation time here with us. That’s why we want to make sure you don’t forget the most important things you’ll need to make for a great camping experience.
There is just nothing like the smell of breakfast being cooked in that family cast iron heirloom coming from your campsite. We never tire of waking up to those sights, sounds, and smells.
You just never know what minor injuries or illnesses you and your family may incur while you are camping. It helps to bring a well-stocked first-aid kit with you to alleviate any of the bumps or bruises that appear as quickly as possible.
You’ll be burning lots of energy and that requires lots of snacks. If you are trying to watch the sugar and expense there are a lot of tasty treats you can make at home and bring with you. We found 25 recipes to get you started. You’re sure to find something that will please your crew.
Folding military type shovel. These are easily folded up and stored when not in use. They come in very handy when you are attempting to put your campfire out or want to move hot wood or coals. They are compact and inexpensive, one of those tools that really come in handy from time to time and if they have a built in hatchet it’s all the better.
Fire resistant gloves. You’re going to be around a lot of hot stuff at the campsite. Either the grill, a stove, or a campfire. Having a pair of these on hand will certainly save your fingers from getting burned. Keep and extra pair on hand in case one gets lost – as one glove typically does.
A headlamp. This hands-free lighting option comes in handy over and over while you are camping. Whether you are walking to the restroom at night or just wanting to read in the tent, a headlamp makes everything easier. You’ll have both hands free to hold the hands of your little ones or to work on whatever it is you are trying to do.
Extra batteries. Bring a variety of them. These days it seems most everything needs batteries and you don’t want to get caught short. Just grab a multi pack and be on your way. You’ll be glad you did.
A First Aid Kit. You can buy one pre-assembled or make your own but do bring one. At some point in your camping experience someone will need a bandage, an ice pack, an antihistamine, or a sliver removed so you may as well be prepared. Also, make sure to pack prescriptions for your family and your pets. 
We’ve seen lots of ideas for homemade firestarters from our campers and thought we’d share some of them here. Of course, crumpled newspaper is used most often but it can be unpredictable and sometimes flares up and dies out quickly. Some other, longer lasting possibilities are listed below:
We’ve all heard the jokes about making sure your awning is in, your steps are up, and your spouse is on-board before driving away from the campground. There is truth in jest, however, and these things do happen. That’s why it is smart to make a departure checklist and run through it just like an airplane pilot does. We list a few items to get you thinking about what should be on your list.
