Russian River camping weekend

For labor day weekend, we packed up the car with our camping gear and headed north to Russian River. We pitched our tent at a private campground, called Schoolhouse Park, which boasted over 30 acres of land for exploring and swimming in the River. Unfortunately, our camp site was a little closer to River Road than we would have liked, but the scenery down by the river and in Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve nearby was beautiful. Here are some photo highlights:
