About Doug Wheeler

Hey there, I'm Doug, and I want to share a little bit about my amazing family and our love for adventure! My amazing wife, Vanessa, and I are on a mission to create incredible memories with our two awesome kids. Our children are the light of our lives. As of the summer of 2023 - we have a little boy who just hit the one-and-a-half-year mark, and our vibrant daughter is about to turn five. They bring so much joy and laughter to our family, and we can't wait to see them grow into adventurous individuals. Summers are all about embracing the beauty of the lakes in our area. We're lucky to have Pend Oreille, Coeur d'Alene, and Lake Roosevelt nearby. You'll find us swimming, picnicking, and basking in the sunshine, making memories that will last a lifetime. When winter arrives and the snow falls, we swap our swimwear for skis. The mountains become our playground as we glide through the powdery slopes, teaching our children the thrill of skiing. We believe in cherishing every season and making the most of what nature offers us. But above all else, camping holds a special place in our hearts. It's our ultimate escape and a chance to connect as a family. We have two favorite camping spots that we frequent. The Silverwood Campground is perfect for us since it's conveniently located right next to Silverwood Theme Park. We love spending time at Silverwood to witness the sheer delight on our kids' faces as we ride thrilling attractions together - it's priceless. We get the best of both worlds—a home base and thrilling adventures just steps away. We also adore Porcupine Bay on Lake Roosevelt, where we can play on the lake during the day and unwind in a beautiful setting at night. As our kids grow older, we dream of embarking on longer journeys together. Exploring new places and creating lasting memories is something we can't wait to do. But the kids can barely sit still for an hour long car ride - so until then, we'll continue nurturing our love for nature, strengthening our family bond, and treasuring every camping adventure we embark on locally. So, with that - we invite you to come experience our camping trailer (which we've named Starscream!). Enjoy, laugh, and bond. We can't wait for you to experience the same adventures we experience!
