Where to Camp
If you’re a beginning camper, you probably want to
start by finding an organized campground within driving distance. Campgrounds
can be either public (usually run by a government agency, like national
forests) or private (usually run by individuals or businesses, like campground
resorts or RV parks). Public campgrounds will likely offer you the most options
and are usually set up by the government to preserve the area, so you should
research those near you. You will also want to make sure that the campsites you
are looking into offer the amenities that you need. Think about whether or not
you will require things like a shower, bathrooms, and areas for cooking and
cleaning your dishes. Also, consider what kinds of activities you might want to
engage in before booking your campsite. Will you want to play water sports or
swim? Do you like to hike? Look for sites that will be able to accommodate your
needs, and remember to book ahead because popular campsites can fill up many
months in advance.
When to Camp
What
to Bring
Knowing what to bring on your camping trip really
depends on where you’re going, what time of year you’re planning on camping,
and what activities you want to do while you’re there. In general, there are
some basic things that every camper will need. Unless you are camping in an RV,
you will need a tent so that you will be adequately protected from the sun,
wind, rain, bugs, etc. Tents also provide you with privacy from other campers and
give you a place to store your clothes and other necessities away from the
elements. You will also need a sleeping bag, a pillow, and a pad. Remember that
you are, essentially, sleeping outside on the ground, so you will want
something that will make you as comfortable as possible and provide you with
enough warmth for whatever region you’re camping in (in some places temperature
will drop drastically at night, even in the summer). Additionally, don’t forget
to bring plenty of water (you may not be near a water source), food and cooking
supplies. Some campsites have grills, but if yours doesn’t you might want to
bring something like a propane stove for cooking, and all the necessary
accouterments (pots and pans, utensils, spatulas, charcoal, etc.). Also,
remember to bring basics like a first aid kit, any medications you may need,
extra clothes, etc. Before packing, make sure you have planned your trip out
thoroughly and make yourself a checklist of everything you will need.
Fun
Activities
For some people, the mere act of leaving the city
and setting up camp to relax in the wilderness is enough. If you’re not one of
these people, there are still plenty of things you can do while camping to keep
yourself (or your kids) entertained. Depending on your locale, you can do
things that are unique to your locale. If you’re camping in a mountainous
region, try going for a hike, or doing a photo scavenger hunt for animals and
plant life native to that region. If you’re camping near a lake or another body
of water, you could take a leisurely swim, fish (if the area permits it), or
try canoeing, sailing, jet skiing, etc. Some campsites also have areas for
sports, like baseball fields, basketball courts, etc. Check in advance to see
if your campsite has these things, and then make sure that you bring the
necessary equipment to play! You can also bring desks of cards or small board
games and play with your group around the fire after a long day of hiking or
swimming. Another fun (and practical) activity is to have a picnic. Get your
whole group involved in setting up a table, getting a fire started, and
cooking. Finish the meal off with some good old-fashioned s’mores around the
campfire!
