Scheduling your camping year

By Bob Langdale


Now is the time to plan in advance for your next camping season. Most camp grounds have restricted number of camp sites available. The more preferred a camp ground the faster those camp sites can fill up. Camp grounds found near historic or natural points of interest can fill up extremely fast. Planning your camping trip and reserving your camp site now will help you to have an enjoyable camping season.

Looking ahead to the entire season it may appear you have so many possibilities for when you may camp. The reality is camp grounds can and do fill up quickly particularly with more people camping every year. Many favorite camp grounds are exceedingly difficult to find a camping site at the peak camping season. Planning your summer camping trips now will help you to camp at the camp ground you wish to visit when you would like to visit. To begin to find when you'll camp lets first find out when you will not camp.

Start simple; begin by crossing off times you know you can't go camping on a calendar. It may be you can't go camping while the children are at school. You could have a wedding to go to or have been planned for training for work over some time and can not take time off. Once the dates you can't go camping are closed off it is time to move on to mark off when you don't want to go.

Dates you don't want to go camping might be because of the weather. You may not wish to go camping early or late in the season as it could get too cold. Your selection of when you camp may be limited by your camping equipment. If you camp in a tent you may not like to be camp in the hottest part of the summer. Remember with simple additions to your camping equipment, for example a camping tarp, can help to extend your camping season. With your camping season determined the next step is to pick where you need to go.

Camping destinations might be to see natural beauty, significant sites, or to get into nature and away from civilization. What you're looking for will provide help to decide on the camp grounds you wish to visit. Many campgrounds have online tools to help select which camp ground and even the nicest site for you. Always look for the camp sites recommended gear. Some sites are made for RV's only. Other sites only allow tents.

When you've got your camping dates set remember to review your camping equipment for any repairs or maintenance that could be needed. Your camping trip can be ruined extremely fast with a leaky tent or damaged camp stove. Easy steps can make sure you have a very enjoyable camping season.

Happy camping!
