Camping

Are you looking for a fun and cheap vacation? Then camping maybe the solution for you. Camping is a great way for the whole family to chip in and participate. The kids can go catch fish for dinner, or help set up a tent. Camping only costs about $400 if you have camping gear, but if you need camping gear, then plan on spending at least $600 dollars more. Even still you can save a lot and pay for a family of 4 for under $1,000 dollars.

There is so much to do when camping, like hiking, fishing, etc. Some camping grounds even offer swimming and show movies at night. Another great camping perk is watching the sunset or start glazing. Since most camp grounds are away from city lights, the stars will be amazing.

You need to plan a camping vacation, like all  other vacations. You  firstly have to decide on shelter. Are you using a tent, a RV or a cabin? A tent would be the best for first time or light campers. Tents only cost between $60-$200 dollars. They provide protect against bugs and rain. A sleeping bag would be the next thing, you need to keep warm at night. And then I would take a pad. Pads are soft and bring comfort to any camping trip.

Food is the major camping item. Depending on what your planning to eat, you can bring a variety of things. The most basic is a cooler and a bag of charcoal. Cooler for drinks and charcoal for a grill. You can make basic camping food such as steaks, ribs, hot dogs and hamburgers. If you plan on making dishes then you can bring a propane stove and a skillet. With it you can make a lot of stove-top meals.

It is good to plan a few months ahead to make your camping trip run smoother. It may not seem like that much goes into a camping trip, but after just figuring out what to bring, it begins to be over welling.

Figure out everything you're going to need and write it down. There's nothing worse then getting to the camping ground and realize you forgot to pack a tent.

Camping is an excellent vacation filled with all sorts of fun things to do.
