About Us

We are Phil and Kate Tonnessen. We have two teen-age sons (Eric and James), both attending Preston High School this school year 2006-2007, and two dogs, and we like to camp, as in, we like to breathe.

For the past 20 years we have been living in sunny southwest Florida and camping in Florida and Georgia. The summer of 2005 we embarked upon a 5 week camping odyssey across America. Upon returning to Florida, it became apparent that while the boys were bit by mosquitoes, we, the parents, were bitten by the camping bug. In an  effort to find a more geographically located base camp, we stumbled upon Cheat Canyon Campgroud.

In March 2006, without a second thought, we pulled up stakes, "sold the farm" and made this campground our new home. The rest, they say, is history. The kids think we're crazy, of that we have no doubt.
