CAMPING




For some, the word camping conjures images of peaceful streams, roaring
campfires, and delightfully cheerful birds. For others, camping is
nothing more than mud, mosquito bites, and the fear of a bear attacking
you. If you’re in the first group, you’re already aware of the pleasures
of camping. If not, don’t give up hope just yet! With the right amount
of preparation and a bit of mosquito repellent you too can learn to enjoy
camping as one of the best hobbies out there—without, of course, having
to worry about those pesky bears.



Types of Camping

The first step to enjoying camping is to decide what kind of camping it is
you want to do. There are several types of camping, ranging from sleeping
in a trailer to roughing it in the mountains. Both can be fun and it’s a
matter of preference as to what style you prefer.



The most common types of camping are:

1) wilderness camping

2) tent camping

3) recreational vehicle camping



Wilderness Camping

Perhaps you’ve heard of 19th century American naturalist John Muir, the
man who set out into the wilderness with only a journal and a bit of
food? Yes, that’s right, wilderness camping means no bathroom close by
and no supermarket down the street.

The good news is that you’ll have your pick of sleeping arrangements as
it also means no campsite reservations—just pick a spot in the woods*
and fend for yourself. This type of camping requires durable clothing
in order to bear the elements.

*As a note, camping outside of designated spaces is illegal in some areas,
so make sure you know the regulations before you go.



Tent Camping

When you were a kid, it’s likely your parents hauled you away from the TV
one summer only to drive you an hour into the woods. While it may not have
made sense at the time, you can rest easy knowing that they were only
opening you up to the world of tent camping. Tent camping is actually a
common—and fun!—experience for both parents and children. Unlike wilderness
camping, these campsites provide showers, restrooms and may have other
amenities, including laundry rooms, game rooms, or even a swimming pool.

Some campsites require reservations, particularly in the summer. If not,
make sure you get there early enough to snatch a good spot. Campsites charge
a small fee, but for a weekend of relaxation it’s worth every penny.



Recreational Vehicle (R.V.) Camping


Serious campers take offense at the thought of R.V. camping as “real camping,”
but for many people it’s the only way to go. The benefit of R.V. camping is
that you have the freedom to travel far and wide without worrying about
accommodations. Most R.V.’s come equipped with a bathroom, living room,
kitchen and bedroom. The downside is that you may not experience nature like
other campers, so make sure to get out of your R.V. and explore the beauty
of the surrounding area. Also make sure to get RV insurance for your
recreational vehicle so you are protected from the unexpected.

Now that you’re itching to go camping, you’re probably wondering what else
you need to know before you head out. What kind of camping gear is necessary?
What precautions do you take? Well, you’re in luck. This camping guide will
answer everything you’ve ever wanted to know about camping—including—yes,
that’s right—how not to get attacked by a bear.

Everyone needs a break from everyday life, and camping can be a great
way to get outdoors and surround yourself with nature. When you start
planning your trip, make sure to choose a campsite that fits your needs
