Camping Out Is A Cheap Activity That Everyone In The Family Will Enjoy

Camping out is a fun activity that can be enjoyed by everyone in the family but won't set you back a lot of cash

. And a little advance planning can easily make it more relaxed and pleasurable.

Where Are We Going?

What you pack and what you take will depend upon where you want to camp. Are you going to the woods, the beach, the lake, the country? Each one has distinctly different requirements.

Obviously, if you already have a vacation planned you can skip this part.

If you don't, the search engines, especially the giants, Yahoo and Google, will be your best bet for information on campgrounds and attractions. There are many really good campground directories as well as thousands of individual campground websites on the Internet. Plus many sites about attractions and activities for every location.

Every tiny town has its own community website now days listing everything from campgrounds to restaurants to yearly festivals. Just find a town that you like and then find a campground next to it.

Be sure to consider the kids and any pets you have. Also consider the needs of a disabled person if you are traveling with one when making your choices.

Once you have located a town or campground you like, don't be afraid to pick up the telephone (remember those) and call with your questions.

What Should We Bring Camping?

Naturally this is going to depend upon your family's needs, your ultimate destination and the length of the trip among other considerations, so to even attempt a list here would be all but pointless.

But making a list for yourself would not.

In fact, that is exactly what you really should do. Make a checklist of items that you will need to take on the camping trip. Perhaps you should even make two lists -- one for your camping gear and another for your camping food.

Be Sure to Consider the Weather

One important thing to always remember is that you can't control or even predict what the weather will do. This is vitally important if you are heading into the back country . You need to take the right outdoor clothing in with you -- including plenty of cold weather clothing. Even if you don't think you will need it -- it could end up saving your life.

If you are staying in a campground or park, it may not be quite as important, but may mean the difference between enjoying your trip and having a miserable time.

Be sure to pack rain gear, too. Nothing ruins a trip quite as quickly as being wet and uncomfortable.

Have Fun

Choose a campground and attractions you and your family will enjoy, pack the right gear, clothing and food and -- above all else -- have fun.

Go with a positive attitude and you will enjoy your adventure.
