Informal camping club needs members

In the hunt for an informal camping club with no annual dues and no actual meetings except for actually going to campouts? Check out the Vagabonds, which is now seeking new members.

While there are no planned activities, members do sometimes get together to play cards or games or horseshoes. And they share a love of the outdoors, good conversation, fellowship and roaring campfires.

A schedule for upcoming campouts for the second weekend of each month, March through November, is being compiled now. For March, the group is looking for a campground out of the mountain area that has an indoor room for use by the group. Otherwise, campgrounds chosen are generally within 100 miles of Franklin, in states bordering North Carolina.

Each participant receives a camping schedule and makes their respective reservations.

At our inception 20 years ago, we chose to be different. Unlike other news organizations, we made the decision to provide in-depth, regional reporting free to anyone who wanted access to it. We don’t plan to change that model. Support from our readers will help us maintain and strengthen the editorial independence that is crucial to our mission to help make Western North Carolina a better place to call home. If you are able, please support The Smoky Mountain News.
