We have gone tent camping every year for the past 7 years with my sister and her family. We always camp in State Parks but mix and match where we go so that it’s not aways the same. This allows us to see the state cheaply as State Parks are relatively inexpensive. We also try to pick a park near a store, just to be save. Something else you will like. On our first camping trip, our daughter was 8 months old. The following year, our second daughter was only 2 months old. This year, our third daughter will make her first trip at 3 months old. It’s just as easy to mix formula outside as it is to mix it in a hotel room. Camping is a great way to spend time without tv’s, computers, and video games. It shows kids (and husbands) that there are other things to do that don’t require electricity - like hiking, fishing, swimming and just getting to know each other all over again. Happy camping!!

For those who want to enjoy camping and being outdoors, but do not want to run the risk of running into some lions, and tigers, and bears; a great alternative camping location for them to go to would be the beach.

Camping-Friendly Locations

Before camping on a beach, individuals would have to make sure that the beach they have set their eyes on does not have any prohibition concerning camping. It is best to contact the local officials that preside over the beach area to find out the regulations.

Those who want to have the best beach camping experience should make the proper preparations ahead of time. This way, they would have the most memorable and enjoyable experience during their camping trip on the beach.

Upon our arrival, greg and I left our car and got into David Stiles vehicle and proceeded to the Smokemont Ranger Station, on US Hwy 441, where we completed the required permit for back country hiking and camping. We indicated on the permit, we would be spending Saturday evening at Deep Creek Trail Campsite 53.

At approximately 3:30 PM, Greg said he saw a lady hiker on the trail in front of the camp. I leaned up and looked out the doorway of the tent and saw a small person in a black T-shirt with a badge on it. I knew it was a ranger and began yelling for her.
Upon her arrival, she began talking to me and established my level of consciousness and checked, greg to insure he was alright. Next she provided us with water and a couple of candy bars. At her insistence, I drank approximately two liters of water and began to feel noticeably better. I was still weak, but my legs felt markedly better. It was at that point I began to realize I hadn’t eaten any thing except a Pop-tart since Friday evening. In all the terror of the rain and the inability to locate a stopping point until midday Saturday, I had neglected to eat or drink anything.

The Ranger asked me if I could walk now and I began moving around with the aid of my walking stick and I began feeling somewhat better, yet weak. Shortly, several National Forest Service employees and another GSMNP Ranger arrived and began breaking camp and packed everything in two packs for the mile long walk to awaiting vehicles.
The female Ranger rode behind me and periodically asked me how I felt and kept an eye on greg.

We eventually arrived in the parking lot at the Deep Creek Campground where we were met by wife and my Mother. I wanted to hug the female Ranger who, I found out, had walked four miles, alone, down the mountain from Newfound Gap to locate me and greg, but out of respect for her professionalism and can-do attitude, I shook her hand. greg and I were very happy to be safe.

When choosing your camping gear and equipment, it is important to take into consideration the type of material it’s made. The kind of tent you need to bring to camp depends on certain things. If you don’t expect bad weather when you go camping, then you can go with a low to mid range camping tent. This type of tent is most appropriate for those who go camping once or twice a year. If you’re a seasoned camper and you expect rough weather ahead, you’re better off purchasing a high-end tent. This lightweight tent is suitable for backpacking and can withstand cold and wet weather conditions. As compared to low to mid range tents, high-end tents are costlier.

Depending on where you live in the country, almost every time of the year can be a good time to go out camping with your friends or family. Some of those times might require special camping equipment needed for different seasons. Using the better quality camping supplies available will usually pay off in the long run due to their ability to withstand continual use over time. These better brands for camping don’t necessarily have to cost a lot of money when you look for these items online. It’s only a few clicks away to an available camping equipment outlet found on the Internet.

Various camping equipment outlets will allow for nice discounts when you buy almost anything related to camping like sleeping gear, tents, emergency and survival equipment, camping furniture, lighting or lanterns for camping, knives, hatchets and many more items.

Some of these camping equipment outlets also sell slightly used camping gear that will usually be more discounted at then newer lesser quality items. Also, you are looking for a better quality camping equipment but want to stay under budget, purchasing slightly used items may allow for getting the better quality. You might realistically expect that slightly used camping gear will likely last longer than the cheaper new items you could get for less money. You really need to compare the better brands with the cheaper ones to really understand the difference in quality.

Taking some time to research various camping resources like articles and consumer news will usually help your chances for a more enjoyable camping experience over time. Looking through various tips and other information regarding camping will help you understand what brands will be better for various categories of camping supplies. Part of your research helpng towards a more enjoyable camping adventure will include comparing stores with each other to find some of those better deals.

You also might look into finding this equipment in the classifieds or auctions. Auctions online will have available for sale and bid for almost any camping or hiking supplies you could ever think of being available and more. Some of these sites will have both auctions and no bidding purchases available to the consumer. Consumers who like to find deals can sometimes find great ones using auctions. Others that may be reluctant to bid on items will often have the chance to simply purchase those items at a given price.

Different programs will be available in the overnight camps and the camps will be more exciting, educative and more useful for children, kids and adults. Educational camps, outdoor camps are offered for reasonable and competitive price consideration and with the help of the experience and knowledgeable professionals and experts.

Last fall I has simply the most amazing camping trip. I have posted about the trip before, so I don’t want to repeat myself. But, to summarize, it was a amazing fall day when it was warmer than you would thought for a fall day. It was one of those days that sneak up on you. There you are, in the woods by yourself Car camping and you stop and have a serious moment. Do you know what I mean by that? I mean, it was a really BIG moment. I’m not sure where those types of experiences come from, or how to repeat them. But one thing is for sure, you are going to seek that type of experience again. I mean, why would you now want something that felt so good to happen again. So anyway, I don’t have that much to say today except that, yes, I’m ready to be back in the woods again.

If you’re into camping, you don’t think about this much. Do you think of camping activities the same way as everyone else does? I’m sure there is a ton of variation. Today, this thought got stuck in my mind. For example, some people think of camping as packing up a car and going to a camp ground. Others view camping as an activity where they are not near anyone else for miles and miles. Little kids might think of camping as going in the back yard with a tent. Don’t all of these qualify? I think they are all cool. The bottom line is that they get you outside. If you are interested, go to Various views on camping I’m sure you will find a ton of interesting things here along with a bunch of definitions.

We were invited on a family camping weekend with my son’s cub scout group. I nearly panicked since I had never been camping before, but my son and daughter really wanted to go. Luckily, the scouts’ invitation came with ideas for what to bring on the trip to learn more about camping. I checked out all the sites, plus a few more, and went to the store to get what we’d need. Between a couple camping gear websites and the big box discount store, I got us all outfitted. It was still all new to me, but when we arrived at the campground the more experienced parents were on hand to make sure that all the families had a good time. We did. Thanks to the scouts.

Selecting a sleeping bag is not an easy task. Temperatures drop at night more than most people expect, even in the middle of sumer so you should make sure you’re prepared. If you are in a couple, you might prefer a double sleeping bag (there is no better central heating than the body heat of someone else.

Sleeping bags are given temperature rating based upon their intended use. One season sleeping bags are designed for use in the sumer months only and aren’t suitable for camping in the winer (they just won’t keep you warm). Two season sleeping bags are suitable for the extended summer months (from early spring to late autumn, but aren’t suitable for sub zero temperatures. Three season sleeping bags will provide warmth in temperatures which are slightly sub zero and four season bags are designed to be used all year round and will be the most expensive type of sleeping bag.

You may also want to look out for a bag with a 2 way zip so you can stick your feet out the bottom. Double sleeping bags are also available and singles that join together to form a double. Insulated zips are also important if it gets very cold. A good ground mat is also an essential. They are only cheap and provide excellent insulation.
