Overview of the old bridge
This was taken April 2002. Within a year, none of the bridge remained.

Camping at Gipsy was great! Every summer when I was a kid, my whole extended family got together for a week of fun and togetherness. I have begun searching for another spot like the Gipsy bridge campground so that all of my cousins and I can keep the tradition going with our kids, but no luck so far. So much for progress...
I remember camping at the old Gypsy Bridge Campground as a child/teenager. (in the 1970's) There was a square dance stage set up there, and on one side of the bridge there was a small trail that led up to a gorgeous overview of the river.
Thanks for letting me see that fine old bridge one last time!

My family ran the campground at Gipsy Bridge Park back in the 70's and I have many fond memories from there. I remember the bridge used to terrify me when I learned to drive & had to navigate across it in a Chevy Impala, but I soon conquered that fear! I miss the "Big Bridge" as we used to call it. (There was a smaller one about 1/2 mile up the road we called the "little bridge") It had great personality & character. The new bridge that replaced it may be stronger, but it's just not the same.
