Camping Trailers

Have you ever noticed that most camping sites don’t let you take large RVs? They have a size limit, which is why my family owns small travel trailers for camping. But it kinda bugs me, I guess, since it isn’t fair to exclude people based upon the size of their vehicles. While some places are just too small to accommodate large vehicles, other places just don’t like the look of them and won’t allow them in. I remember camping at one place that was huge. The spot for our travel trailer was large enough to fit four travel trailers, but they didn’t allow larger motor homes because they “blocked the view of fellow campers.” Isn’t that lame? Seriously, that just isn’t fair at all!

If you want a great vacation spot in California/Nevada, you should visit Lake Tahoe. Talk about beautiful, this place has got to be God’s vacation spot. The skiing in the winter is great. In fact, my whole extended family takes a vacation in Tahoe every winter just to ski and hang out at the lodge. And, of course, there are casinos for those who want to have some indoor fun. And in the summers, there is parasailing, water skiing, fishing, boating, hiking, etc for those who love the outdoors. I recommend Lake Tahoe if you are planning on camping anywhere in California.

Last year, my family and I went to Yosemite National Park for vacation. We were there about a week and had a great time hiking around, seeing the waterfalls, picnicking in the valley, etc. The best part is that there are hotels in Yosemite, as well as camping spots for both tent camping and RV camping. If you haven’t been to Yosemite yet, then I really do recommend it. While we were too gutless to climb Half Dome, we did have a ton of fun taking the different trails, fishing with the kids, and just hanging out in the area. It really is beautiful and extremely relaxing to visit.

In my opinion, the very best way to camp is with a small camper or travel trailer. When I was younger, we used to go backpacking all over the place, and I always hated it. We would sleep on the dirty ground where bugs were prevalent, eat cold food or food cooked over a fire, get cold halfway through the night, and have to hike back to civilization. Definitely not the way to camp. With small campers, you can drive into almost anywhere, have a real bed with no bugs, eat at a real table, and drive back out. Definitely the way to go in my opinion!

I don’t think there is anything better than camping in the middle of nowhere. Just you, a tent, the stars, and a thermal sleeping bag. My wife and I go backpacking two or three times a year, most of the time hiking into previously unseen territories and setting up a tent. We’ve seen some beautiful places in the process, and it’s never without a sense of adventure. Of course, we buy the best camping gear, so it’s no real hardship. With thermal sleeping bags, travel pillows, a high tech camp stove, a waterproof tent, and the best backpacks sold, its more like a day at the spa than camping.

Rather than chestnuts roasting on an open fire, it should be marshmallows roasting over the campfire. Camping is an activity unlike any other. The untroubled quality of being out in nature is one that loads of people take part in when the weather gets hotter. The camping travel trailers are dusted off and sleeping bags make their way out of storage. Hot weather signals a fab time to make camp and get out of the house. The long winter is over and now it's time to get outside and get active. Are you a camping fan or are you an amateur to this great pastime? If you're an amateur then you're in luck.

Do I have to hike out into the woods to camp? This is a subject of controversy among camping fans.
You don't have to traipse out into the woods for miles while carrying all you need. Some folk enjoy going to a camping area and still having essentials.

The most important thing that all camping fans agree on is a 3 star hotel isn't the concept of camping. It is completely OK to pitch a tent at a camping ground that provides showers.

Occasionally those tiny comforts of home can make for a more pleasurable outing with the family. But that's completely up to you on how much you would like to "rough" it. Some folk look at camping as a way to chill and so they spend an overall majority of their time just relaxing by the campfire and reading a book. Some folks desire a journey like rock climbing or white water rafting. You may swim, hike, ride cycles or maybe go horseback riding while you are camping. It's also a way to explore the area.

How do I keep wild animals out of my food stuff? The most effective way to keep animals out of your food stuffs is to keep it in your auto or a special lockbox if you're in a campground. If you're the fan who likes to hike into the woods away from everybody you will need to tie your food stuff out of reach so tiny animals, and even huge ones, can not reach the food. For Bears you need to string it between two trees and not just hang it in a tree. Keeping a campfire going will also deter animals from getting into your food supplies. Always keep scraps and other food wastes buried or a great distance from camp to deter them too.

What are some everyday foods that are eaten while camping? Other food items will rely on what kind of camping you do. Many of us like to catch their own food and roast them on the fire. Fish is a superb food source and if you're close to a stream or stream it's a neat way to hunt for your food. Regardless of what food you take, you will swear it is far better outside than if you were to cook it at home.

The bigger, more classy tents can cost masses of bucks depending on the type and brand you purchase. There also are tents that are designed to be shades from the sun and should be where you set up your table. Should you buy one of these coverings, confirm it includes mosquito netting to keep those annoying blood suckers away from your fragile skin. Any outside sporting store will have a range of tents for you to choose between.

And even better yet is a small, lightweight travel trailer that is easily towable behind a car. Some fold down and others are made of fiberglass and allow you to stow everything inside without having to compact it each time you move on.

So go out and enjoy the outdoors and don't forget the bug spray!
