A lot of people love to pack up their families and go camping, or spend a weekend “roughing it” with a group of friends. There is really nothing quite like a camping trip to relax and unwind and really make you appreciate what Mother Nature has to offer. If you have not been camping in years, or have never been and cannot quite figure out the allure of sleeping outside and cooking over a campfire, it might be the year to reconsider how you will spend your summer.
Camping is one of those things that you should do before you cannot do it anymore. You should do it with your children before they have grown up and moved out. It is easy to go camping these days, even for a beginner. You can rent an RV, reserve a beautiful rustic cabin, or sleep in tents. With your down-filled sleeping bag and your portable heater, you will be camping in luxury!
Camping is one of the cheapest ways that you and your family can go on a good, quality vacation. When is the last time that you let all of your senses truly appreciate what Mother Nature offers? Waking up to the sound of a bird chirping outside of the tent is so much more pleasant than waking up to the sound of that annoying alarm clock on your nightstand. Even your favorite television show cannot stand up to the light show when you look up at a clear night sky. Sitting around a campfire at night and looking at the Big Dipper and his friends is a wonderful feeling.
If you have never eaten food that was cooked outside on an open fire, you are missing a heck of a treat. Nothing tastes as good as a hot dog that you cooked on a stick over a campfire. Nothing. If you do not want to cook like that, do not let that be the reason you do not go camping. There are all kinds of camp stoves that you can choose from to be used when you are camping. While you at it, you can even pick up a nice lantern so you will have plenty of light for those nightly card games.
Camping is one of the greatest ways to pluck your family off of all of the electronics that they are usually glued to such as gaming systems, televisions and computers. Camping allows them to use their imaginations again and to experience the great outdoors. A lot of campsites also offer boating sites and fishing holes and swimming areas so you and your family can spend some quality time with each other and put life back into perspective.
I do not know about the rest of you, but we are ready for Spring!
