Honor, reflect, and recharge lakeside this September. Caboose Lake Campground is offering a special 9/11 weekend rate (Sep 12–13, 2025): stay two nights and get $11 off camping fees plus free firewood bundle at checkin— a perfect chance for a calm fall getaway with moments for quiet remembrance and the simple joys of campfires, fishing, and lakeside walks.
What to expect at Caboose Lake
Caboose Lake is a 20-acre spring-fed recreation lake with paddleboats, kayak and fishing rentals, a beach area, playground, and cabin and lodging options — everything you need for a relaxing fall weekend by the water. Guests can choose full-hookup RV sites, lakeside log cabins, or cozy sleeping cabins depending on how rustic or comfortable they’d like to be.
Booking note: Caboose Lake maintains an online reservations page with rates and minimum-stay information; use Discount Code 9/11 when booking online or call the campground & request the 9/11 Discount for a 2-Night Stay. Confirm the $11 discount for the Sep 12–13 weekend.
Nearby remembrance option — Rensselaer 9/11 Memorial
For guests who would like to visit a formal memorial, the Rensselaer 9/11 Memorial is a nearby, permanent marker that many visitors use for quiet reflection; Rensselaer is an easy drive from Remington and makes a meaningful short outing during your stay. If you or your group prefer an organized community service, local veterans’ posts (American Legion / VFW) are typically the best point of contact to confirm whether a public Patriot Day observance is planned.
Local events and things to do (add these to your weekend)
- Rock the Arts at Carpenter Creek Cellars (Rensselaer) — a local winery music & food event on September 13, 2025 that’s an easy afternoon trip from the campground; a great low-key option for a fall outing. (Adults only — check the event page for tickets and times.)
- Explore Remington & Jasper County — small-town dining, scenic country drives, and seasonal fall activities around Jasper County make for pleasant daytime excursions; check local tourism pages for any additional fall festivals or fairs during your dates.
