Don't forget about camping chairs! Some people forget that it's not necessary to carry a heavy chair with them and it's much better to pick something more lightweight. Of course, it depends on many factors. I also recommend checking out this article on how to choose best lightweight camping chair, it might save you lots of time.

First Camptrip Review

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

Rock Art: Draw a line or spiral with a long stick and collect rocks and pine cones - place on the line in a pattern. Show them a picture of “The spiral Jetty” by Robert Smithson.   Camp Kitchen: Collect cooking gear from the thrift store, see if you can find items on small scale, find a flat rock, log or camp bench and draw in chalk a stove top (two circles with an “X”) Fill a pitcher of water and tell them to go to town making mud pies and cooking them. (keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures. Tacky glue works best.   Hide & Seek an old stand by.   Bug Hunt with a bug jar.   Hopscotch: Use a long sticks to make squares in dirt & small rocks to throw.   Beading: $1 store good for this, I like using a tray or baking sheet to contain everything.   Journal: Glue, t

Emerald Bay Lake Tahoe California D.L. Bliss Campground - Not all campsites are equal - Scroll down to see BEST sites 9881 HWY 89 Tahoma CA 96142 Click Here For State Park Link Entrance of D.L. Bliss by Gary O'Toole Location – Directions 17 miles south of Tahoe City on Highway 89, a couple of miles north of Emerald Bay Tahoma Latitude/Longitude: 38.9851 / -120.1304 Phone: 530-525-7277 Reservations: 800-444-7275 Click Here 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 nee
