adminRegardless of how you’ll be camping you’ll want to have the proper camping gear and accessories. First off you want to have the best tent and sleeping bags you can possibly afford. Since your tent will be your “home away from home” on your trip and your sleeping bag will be the one to keep you warm and covered for those long cold nights under the stars, you’ll want to be sure that both these items keep you appropriately covered so to speak. You'll also want to bring a camp stove, a lantern, flashlights, batteries, a first aid kit, tarp, cooking and eating utensils, a small ax, some rope and a cooler.

adminIt’s always a good idea to store your camping gear in plastic containers. This way, it’s all in one place, so when it’s time to pack up and leave to go camping you can go through the containers and making any necessary additions you need. It’s very important to check that all your equipment is properly maintained, cleaned and cared for. There's nothing worse than getting to your destination and realizing that your camp stove isn't working. You’ll also want to be sure that your camp fuel supply is replenished and you have extra batteries for your flashlights.

adminCamping is a great way to save money and still be able to go on vacation. Getting out to nature can give you the stress free escape you want or even need from the everyday struggles and technologies. If you are new to camping or it has just been a while since your last trip, you may have a hard time trying to figure out what to do. It basically all depends on who you go camping with and and what you really want to do. Some may just want to spend time outside and relax with no phone calls and watch the stars at night while others may want to spend the time doing fun activities with your family and friends without the constant distractions of the internet or other things that might steal their attention.

When it gets dark, that doesn't mean the fun has to stop. If you brought some graham crackers, chocolate and marshmallows, then bring on the s'mores. Build a campfire and you can start cooking. If someone knows how to play the guitar and remembered to bring it, you can all sing songs and even make some of your own, or just sing acapella! If you and your kids are up for it, you can tell ghost stories that you learned as a kid or just some funny ones you know. Being out in the open is perfect for stargazing also. Put out the fire, and make sure it's all out, and look up at the stars. Try to name as many constellations as you can and create some yourself. Don't forget to watch out for shooting stars and make a wish!

Hiking can be a great and healthy exercise. You can bring a book to identify and teach yourself and your family about the surrounding wildlife. Remember to bring a camera though, you never know what you may encounter while you're walking around out there and to wear comfortable shoes! Hiking in uncomfortable boots and even flip flops can annoy and stress you out rather than take it away. If this is too much walking for you, there should be biking trails. Not many people bike these days, so it's a great opportunity to make you feel like when you were a kid.

admin Everyone loves to camp with their RV in one hand and the wind in your hair. But camping in the wilderness also comes with hazards of its own. Please remember to secure all food properly. Leaving food out while camping you attract bears, raccoons and other unwanted animals and critters. With the RV you are able to properly put food away and keep it guarded from unwanted predators. This is just more grounds to buy an RV of your own and the benefits are endless!

adminWith costs of supplies and manufacturing going up, RV manufacturers have been using ways to recycle and re-use parts on newer models. Old frames and bodies from discarded and broken down RVs are now being recycled and reused as doors. Manufacturers are now also using lighter composites, those similar in golf balls, experimenting designs and trying new techniques to make RVs more green. The RVs now are getting 15 mpg instead of the usual 8-10 mpg.

adminIt used to be that camping usually meant getting away from the everyday technologies and experiencing life before computers, cell phones, and mp3 players. People are finding it harder and harder to live without the technologies we've been accustomed to. Park owners are also making changes to their “getaways”. Most, if not all, now have ready-to-go tents, Wi-Fi, and satellite TV connections. Companies who manufacture outdoor equipments are also changing the camping experience by selling equipments with radios, alarm clocks, and mp3 player capabilities.

adminA campfire is a necessary part of camping. Its our source of light for our campsite at night, boils water and cooks our food, but to those who are inexperienced creating a campfire, it can be dangerous. If the campground you are in already have a campfire ring or pit, then use it. If not then learn how to safely create one and start a fire. Keep everything flammable away from the fire and always have a bucket of water and/or a shovel next to it. When you put it out, make sure you stir the embers and fully douse it with a lot of water. Remember what Smokey the Bear said, “Only YOU can prevent forest fires!”
