Oct 23 - 25, 2015 Campout: Grey's Point Camp, Topping, VA

         NOTE:  This campout was the 4th weekend of Oct. 

The Trip Captains for this campout were Chuck & Donna Tolson, Ed & Sara Kuhne and Larry & Mem Halstead.  The phone number for Grey's Point Campground is 804-758-2485 and the website is www.greyspointcamp.com/welbody.html .  All of the 10 sites that the Trip Captains reserved were taken:

Rockfish 17, 19, 21-Halsteads, 23-Tolsons & 25-Kuhnes

Spadefish 18, 20, 22, 24, 26 (just about the same spots as last October 2014)

The cost was $35.96 per night BEFORE taxes. Make sure when you call to let them know you are with the Old Dominion Cardinals.  If you wanted to arrive a day earlier (Thursday), they let us have the same rate of $35.96 before taxes for that night too.

This was also one of Grey's Point's Halloween weekends, so we all brought candy for the children who came around in costume on Saturday afternoon. 

Our costume theme this year was CLOWNS!   Campsites were also decorated this weekend and they even had a couple of haunted houses!

This was what the Campground's website said about this second Halloween Weekend:

"OCTOBER 23-25 HALLOWEEN II

We have lost our heads and gone insane! This weekend is when things begin to get scary around Grey’s Point. Enjoy trick or treating and the costume contest during the day, but beware! As the sun disappears, the frightening creatures and monsters come out to play in our terrifying Haunted House!"
