Choose to Enjoy Camping.

Backpacking is the roughest type of camping that most of us
will experience. When backpacking, we carry everything we
use and usually hike to the camp site. There are many
areas where you can escape the crowds. I like to take the
mini fishing pole and with all the new small and light
weight gadgets, and freeze dried food, you can easily carry
enough for a week or two.
Tent Camping is much easier! Drive to the campsite. Though
it does cause more wear and tear on the car. You can still
drive to some secluded spot, especially when you time it
for off peak times, like weekdays. In most campsites, you
can usually have a campfire and roast marshmallows. For me
it is the enjoyment of the great outdoors, without all the
work of backpacking.
Tent Trailer Camping is for those of us who want the
outdoor experience, with more of the comforts of home. Tent
trailers are light, compact, and can be pulled my most
smaller vehicles. Most of them have heat, water, and when
plugged in, many other comforts like a refrigerator, and
air conditioning. some even have a toilet. They set up in
minutes, and still give you the sound of outside, like a
tent.
When you reach a travel trailer, or 5th wheel. you know you
are serious about comfort. It is bringing all the comforts
of home, It can stay packed, and you can even pack up to
leave by just throwing everything inside and going. The
roadside stops are much better, and the hot water shower
makes it all worth while. You will probably need a good
sized vehicle to tow it. and you will want to make sure
that it is set up with the tow package. Travel trailers are
a great way to see the country, and be at home along the
way.
Motor home camping is much like having a trailer, with a
few exceptions. They include room for the family to move
and nap while driving. DVDs to watch, and even potty stops
are eliminated for passenger emergencies. The meals can
even be prepared along the way. almost all motorhomes have
a generator so you can use any power items at any time.
There are several Must haves with a motorhome, including
an awning, and cruise control. The main drawback is that
once you set up a campsite, you must break camp to run to
the store, or anywhere else. This is why you often see a
vehicle towed behind many motorhomes.
Camping is a great getaway, or even a low cost vacation.
No matter how you do it, there is something therapeutic
about it. Everyone at the camp grounds, seem a little
nicer. The MOST important thing for us to bring camping
is a good attitude.
