Make Sure That Your Next Camping Trip Is Fun - Travel

Camping is a great American tradition. It has long been the go to impromptu family vacation. It is relatively inexpensive once the initial equipment has been purchased and a camping vacation can be taken almost anywhere.

It is not necessary to make reservations months in advance to go on a camping trip. Often times, a camping trip can be completely spur of the moment. A family can decide they would like to go camping in the morning and be setting up their camp site later that evening. Even though camping in and of itself is fun, there are a few things that can be done to insure that the next camping trip is a great one.

Always call ahead to the campground to reserve a spot. It is possible to get a campsite in most campgrounds at the last minute, but on weekends this will rarely be the ideal spot. By calling ahead campers can insure that their campsite is clean, level, and close to any amenities the campsite might offer.

Many camp site offer family and late night camping areas. It is best that a camper chooses a camping area that meets their needs beforehand rather than just taking what is available when they arrive.

Prepack. Packing is often the most stressful part of a vacation. Eliminate the need to scurry around looking for equipment by keeping all your camping equipment in one central location. This makes it easy to pack and go quickly. The only things campers have to be concerned with are their toiletries and clothes. By the time they gather those together everything else is already packed and ready to go. By keeping all equipment in a central location there is less chance that something important (like a stove or bugspray) will be forgotten.

Plan out meals beforehand.

Buying groceries at a camp store is often much more expensive than buying at a grocery store. The selection is also very limited. If a camper wants to eat something other than hot dogs on a stick, it is important that meals are planned out in advance and a detailed list has been made. There is no easily accessible cupboard or fridge available in the woods. If ingredients are not brought to the campsite, it is very difficult and expensive to pick them up later.

Check the weather before leaving. Camping in the rain is a miserable experience, especially during the summer. Being hot and stuck in a tent for an entire weekend is no fun. Make sure the weather will be appropriate for outdoor activities. If it is not, cancel and go another weekend.

Keeping these simple tips in mind, there is no doubt that any camping trip can be fun and memorable.
