By Marlo Gino


Getting bored with your life? Got time off yet not much bucks to spend? Losing touch with your family? Sounds like an old style nature tripping is what you should have.~Had it with the "rat race"? Got time off work yet not much money to spend? Losing touch with your loved ones? Sounds like an old style campout is just what you'll need.

Camping is an excellent approach to experience the outdoors and spend time getting reacquainted with your loved ones. Great family camping getaways are easy to plan and cheap vacation solutions. Nature is everywhere, so you don't need to travel far for your camping trip. You can take a trip to a national park, drive to your local campground, or pitch a tent in your own property.

Camping 101 starts with the planning. This part of the trip is half the fun. Call a family group meeting to decide where you would like to go. Based on your budget, you can plan to stock up the trunk with tents and sleeping bags, pull a camper or drive an RV. The idea is to treat your loved ones to an outstanding outdoor trip, so it doesn't matter how you plan to camp or where you wish to go.

If you are unfamiliar with the camping experience, it should be recommended that you begin slow. Book a weekend campsite to get the feel for the camping lifestyle. Enjoy cooking over a wood fire and sharing your space with wildlife, prior to deciding to venture too far out from the comforts of home. Many campgrounds provide fun activities like pools, playgrounds, fishing or recreational boating, so check a nearby listings to discover what adventures lie ahead.

When your kids (and you also) get over the shock of having no television set or access to the internet, you'll all have a fantastic encounter. You are going to comprehend that nature is fun. Outdoor camping opens the doors to a world of brand new activities, like swimming, rock diving, doing water activities, fishing, hiking, catching butterflies, looking for fossils, and going wherever your energy level and imagination can take you. Campgrounds and remote parks are all filled with superb ways to enjoy the best nature has to give. If you would like to boat or water ski, many campsites offer these and other items for rent.

You should not expect to bring along your daily dinnerware and automatic coffeepot for your campout. Remember, you will be toughing it, so pack as necessary. Bring plastic dishes and cutlery that can be cleaned out and used again, but is not going to crack in transit. Make sure you have enough sleeping bags, pillows and excess clothes. Pack the food you will need, as well as a little extra, and keep a supply of ice on hand for perishables like meat and milk products. If you are bringing tins of beans, don't forget a manual can opener or pack your Swiss army knife. If you're not certain what to bring, ask an associate at your local sporting retail outlet to assist you go for your camping needs. Call on pals who like to camp out, and ask them for tips.

Just like your old scoutmaster used to express, "Always be prepared". Try to make a checklist and verify it three times before you leave on your outdoor camping getaway. Make sure that there is plenty of food and clean drinking water for everybody. Bring food that can be easily prepared on your camping area. Pack garments for all kinds of weather. Never forget sun screen lotion, bug spray and hygiene items. Toilet paper and paper towels are absolute necessities. Bring along some soap and toothpaste, but leave the hair gel and makeup at home. Mother Nature does not care what you look like. She only wants you to enjoy your trip.
