RE: How long has your camp been a camp.
In 1961, a family member bought one hundred acres but did it with nine friends. Every time a neighbouring property came for sale, another ten friends divided the cost. In 1993 I bought my share of a 100 acres for $1300. We all combine our properties as an un-official club, so I have shared hunting access to 1200 acres. Not bad for my little investment. Before we bought, it was a pig farm for over one hundred years that we know. Our land has been hunted for two hundred years or more. Owned by family for almost 50 years. Partially mine for almost 15 year. My offspring will have it as long as time will allow.
