Top Ten Reasons to Try Camping

It's inexpensive. Camping is one the most reasonably priced vacations obtainable. You'll need to borrow or buy a tent for your first outing. Flashlights, sleeping bags or blankets, pillows, pots and pans, utensils, cooler, folding chairs and many other camping needs you already have. Read a couple camping checklists before you go to find out what else to bring.

Kids love it. Camping is an exciting expedition! It's an adventure, different and fun. New sights and sounds await them when they go camping.

Experience nature. Fall asleep to the sounds of crickets and bullfrogs or the mournful cry of the loon? Awaken to birds chirping and the smell of fresh air. Watch a chipmunk skitter through your campsite.

Outdoor Recreation. Outdoor activities and camping go hand in hand. Hike up a mountain or on a wilderness trail, go swimming in a crystal clear lake, catch a trout or bass, explore a quiet lake in a kayak, paddle down a river in a canoe.

Campfires. Warm, friendly and hypnotizing. Tell your favorite spooky stories or sing songs. Roast hotdogs, marshmallows or pop popcorn.

Rediscover the taste of your food. Many campers say that food never tasted so good as it does cooked over an open fire.

Meet new people. Campers are affable & caring people! Many build lasting friendships with their neighbors and revisit the same spot at the same time
year after year to reconnect with them.

There are many different ways to go camping. Depending on your budget and taste for roughing it, you might try: Backpacking, tent/car camping,
rustic cabin camping, RV camping or luxury campground rentals. There are also many types of campgrounds to choose from. Wilderness campsites, Scenic parks, high amenity RV Parks.

See the stars. You probably can’t see the Milky Way from your backyard if you live in the city. There are so many more stars and constellations to view when you get away from the cities and suburbs. If you have never seen the sky at night from a dark location, you can’t imagine how majestic it can be.

Camping is quiet and peaceful. No honking horns or blaring sirens. No ringing phones or buzzing fax machines. No traffic jams.

I am sure the first time you go camping you will add a few reasons of your own to this list.
