HUNTING SEASON
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
We here at Camp Copperhead find ourselves new to this hunting
season concept. Having never owned a campground before, nor
ever been hunting we're not sure how staying open for Hunting
Season will be received by you hunting enthusiasts out there.
We're told not many other campgrounds stay open for the winter
season and we hear there are folks out there that would like to
camp during Hunting Season so since we aim to please and strive to
accommodate, we're going to give this idea a try. If this season
proofs successful and we can attract enough hunters to warrant
keeping the campground open that would be great! So come stay at
Camp Copperhead while you hunt and definitely bring your friends!
