Family Camping Tips
By Robert Michael
One of the fondest childhood memories I have are with my dad. My dad and I would grab our tent, sleeping bags and fishing poles and head down to a local lake for a weekend. can be a wonderful activity for the entire family. It can also become a huge calamity if you are not prepared or don’t know what to expect.
If you are not experienced at then it might be best to start with a commercial campground. These campgrounds are often listed in the yellow pages. The costs of these campgrounds is often nominal and they usually have showers, bathrooms, electrical hookups, running water nearby, fire pits and a camp store for any necessities that you may have forgotten. Established commercial campgrounds also often have activities for the entire family including swimming pools, hiking trails, paddle boats and fishing lakes. Although most of these campgrounds are set up for campers they almost at always have tent sites as well.
Once you have tried at an established campground you may decide to want to rough it out in the woods on your own. To find locations for tent you might try doing an internet search on camping.
Regardless of where you go it is important that you be prepared. The following is a list of items you should consider for ensuring you are prepared for an enjoyable trip.
Camping Inventory
1. Tent. You can find a wide selection of tents in various sizes from 2 person tents to family sizes. You might consider getting the children their own
tent. They
will enjoy having their own space.
2. Sleeping bags and an air
mattress if desired.
3. Flash lights and extra batteries.
4.
Matches
5. Cookware. Cooking on an open fire will probably not
be good for your best cookware so you might want to bring older pots
and pans or consider buying a cookware set. Think ahead about foods that will be easy to cook on
a fire.
6. Firewood. If you are not at an established campground you may not have access to firewood.
7.
First Aid kit. This should include band aids, peroxide, gauze, burn crème, tape,
a tool for removing splinters, and anti bug spray.
8. Water for drinking
9.
Trash bags. Whether you go at an established campground or in the woods somewhere it is imperative
that you leave the area exactly as you found it. If the location does not have
trash bins then pick up your trash and take it with you. Don’t ruin the experience
for the next family.
If you carefully plan your trip and expect the unexpected by being prepared for anything you will
have a great time camping.
