First Camptrip Review

-
Image
Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:



Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much


I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger


I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag


I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it

Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome


A truck would make camping easier


Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them.

I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table


Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable


We LOVE smoores with cookies


Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a good idea for longer term camping

Even though this park gets a 10 rating from most of the camping books, many campsites are on slops that are rocky or are small. I would rate this place a 5 or a 10 depending on where you’re parking your tent. I love the beach access at this park and a few nice sites sit facing the water. You pay extra for that though and no dogs on beach here, not even on leash. However early rise and sunset ball throw worked for us just fine. The beach is BEAUTIFUL and it’s the beach that makes this campground great. If you want to book a good site you will need to be on the ball and …

What To Pack When Camping For A Week

-

Last night my daughter and I packed our cloths for our five day camping trip coming up next week. I washed everything is unscented soap and focused on packing old cloths. Adrienne who is five loves this activity. I like packing cloth several days before our trip so I have time to wash anything that needs to be washed and because I know the days leading up to such a big trip will be busy with cooking/freezing food, shopping, planning and pulling it all together.




Here are a few links to help you get started knowing what to pack for a week long trip:

Check out my April posts for other ideas.



Here are few note to consider:


Cloths: I like clean cloths so a long trip means packing more, washing a few things or I check to see if they have a laundry facility. BRING CHANGE if they do. Wash all your cloths in scent free detergent so your not attracting mosquito's.
