First of all, I just want to say thanks for dropping in. With my appreciation, here are a few beginner car tent camping tips to make your trip more enjoyable… if that’s what you’re looking for.

• Bring a tent that suits the type of camping you plan to do. Rent or borrow if don’t have one, if possible. If you’re going to buy, just keep in mind there are loads of choices, but only a handful are right for your needs.
• Bring a ground cloth slightly smaller than the base of your tent, to protect the floor of your tent. Camp sites are rarely perfect, and the off rock, root or debris can shred up your perfectly good tent. If you’re on a budget, any old canvas (like a painter’s tarp) should do.
• Bring a mat to wipe off your feet or footwear treading inside your tent. Tracked dirt and mud in your tent only gets worse after you’ve rolled up your tent with all the debris sandwiched between the walls, roof and floor.
• Have a good light, and not just a flashlight. Light dispersion from something like a lantern makes a big difference in all around visibility.
• Don’t leave your food out. Unwanted hungry wildlife in your camp site can really suck. For that matter, don’t keep food in your tent, because some wildlife don’t care but to get at the food. I haven’t had the pleasure of a bear foraging for food in my tent, but I did have an uncomfortable experience when I left my dog food out at night. I happened to be the last one up having a beer by the campfire, when a couple skunks decided to stroll through my site, under chair and then my legs to get to the dog food. I didn’t move an inch… didn’t even breath, which is probably why I didn’t get sprayed. In any case, I raised my heart rate a little and caught this YouTube video for your enjoyment.
• If your tent is new, set it up at home… in your backyard or whatever, before taking it in your trip. Get to know the tent, and make sure you have all then necessary parts.
• Get to your camp site before the sun goes down. Setting up a tent in the dark is no fun, especially if it’s new to you.
• An air mattress goes a long way for good nights rest for the back in most cases. Those half inch thick light foam pads for backpack camping are best for just that. If you’re going car camping, go for some comfort unless you want to prove a point by toughing it out. Personally, I doubt my four year old son would appreciate sleeping on the paper thin foam pad I used years ago for my roughing it Rocky Mountain trip.

• Now I shouldn’t have to give this tip, but I’m sure some folks have done it before: don’t burn stuff in your tent. Even it’s a control flame from a gas heater or stove, don’t do it because it’s not safe. If you don’t set the tent on fire, the carbon monoxide will probably claim you for the Darwin’s award.
• While I’m the topic of stoves, bring one of those or a BBQ because you can’t rely on getting a good fire pit grills at the campsite. The fire pit grill is usually the last resort in my opinion… after finding a decent restaurant nearby.
• If you’re staying in a developed campground with shower facilities, bring slippers and a waterproof bag you can hang up or leave on the floor and not getting wet or muddy. I do this enough to get a large outdoor waterproof bag that I can rinse off if it gets muddy… and I kid you not, busy campground shower can get extra grimey fast in the morning.

And that’s about it for the tent camping tips in this short blurb. I’d love to share more, so drop by again to look for new articles or pick up a copy of “The Beginner’s Guide To Getting You Started With Comfortable Tent Camping In 12 Easy Affordable Steps.”

It’s good to know that camping is a great way to spend time with your family but you may be wondering exactly why it is such a great past time. What you may not know is that camping is one of America’s most popular pastimes.

The reasons for that are as numerous as the reasons for why it is one of the best vacations a family can have. Many of the reasons for why camping should be an option for your next family vacation are outlined below.

Nothing To Compare to Family Camping!

• Camping has activities that are great for every age which makes it a perfect pastime for the family. For example, there are many parents who actually take their newborns camping with them. As long you as you keep a good eye on your kids camping is safe for even the youngest child.

• Another one of the many reasons why camping makes for great family vacations is because camping comes in a number of different formats and styles. For example, you can go camping for single day or night or you can go for a whole fortnight if you so desire. This makes it easier to plan the whole vacation time around the entire family. You will find that you can camp in a number of different styles in addition to being able to vary the length of time you spend camping. For instance, camping is often done in traditional camping tents or in motor homes.

• The number and type of activities available to the modern camper is another reason why camping is such an excellent pastime. Even though camping is fun on its own there are quite a lot of other activities which you and your family will also find interesting and fun. Due to the popularity of camping a lot of campsites offer modern facilities such as swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds and hiking trails. So what does it all mean? It means that, in addition to camping, you and your family may enjoy swimming, boating, fishing, hiking, and much more!

Simple economics is another reason that camping is so popular with families, especially larger families. Although you will likely be charged an admission fee or a camping fee to camp at a public campground park, you will likely find the cost very affordable. Camping equipment is also affordable and a lot of stuff you need can be taken straight from home. Other equipment you may need can be purchase for discount prices both online and offline.

You can clearly see that camping has some major advantages over other more traditional forms of family vacation. As fun and exciting as camping can be, it is important that you remember to keep an eye on your children at all times, especially younger children.
