We camp the fourth weekend of every month from April through September, and the third weekend in October. We generally camp within a 100 mile radius of Hartford, staying at both private campgrounds and county parks. A "Trailmaster" plans each campout. This family or families is responsible for reserving sites at a campground of their choosing. If desired, activities are planned for the kids and adults. There is generally card playing, dominoes, kid's activities and the occasional potluck. And there is always a campfire for everyone to enjoy. During the mid-summer months, several of our members enjoy golfing at near-by courses. The October campout brings out the trick-or treaters, and there is usually camper decorating and other activities. Coffee and hot chocolate are provided by the club each morning. We hold our general meeting the Saturday of each campout at 1 PM. Our club holds its annual Christmas party during the month of December, as well as our annual Chili Dump during the month of March. Regardless of the location, event or weather, we always enjoy the camaraderie that our club brings. 

The Hartford Y-Knots is the founding chapter of the Wisconsin Camper's Association, beginning in 1959. There are about 35 families in our group right now. Our members include a wide range of individuals, spanning from infants to retirees. The camping accommodations include pop-ups, travel trailers, 5th wheels and motorhomes.
