Campin' Under the Stars: Dark Shark and Andromeda at Swarty's Campground

Summer 2023 was all about new beginnings—especially with my freshly acquired CampInn 550 teardrop camper. Just a few weeks after towing it home from the factory in Wisconsin (a maiden voyage in itself, filled with open-road excitement), I set out for my second official trip: a solo getaway to Swarty’s Campground, a cozy private spot tucked away in upstate New York. No frills, just peaceful sites and that essential dark-sky access for my astro pursuits.
