Camping Lovers Guide

Camping in Pennsylvania and New Jersey will afford you the opportunity to create the wilderness experience that you want to have. People have different ideas of what a fun camping trip is.

Some people want to find the most remote spot in the woods pitch a tent and live off the resources of the land for several days. Other people like to find a campground that has all the amenities of a working bathroom and running water. Regardless of which group you belong to, you will find something for either group of campers and for those that fall in between.

While getting away from the hustle and bustle of city life is one of the reasons families choose to go camping, for kids – it’s the ultimate adventure. If you are planning a family camping trip this summer, here are some tips that will ensure your vacation is both a safe and fun experience.

1. Pre-camping preparation. If you have small children, you may want to select a tent that will accommodate all if you comfortably. On the other hand, if you are camping with older children, it may be a good idea to purchase additional pup tents to give them some sense of independence.

Another great tip is to practice assembling the tents in your backyard so as to avoid wasting time at the camp site.

Although I have lived in Nova Scotia all my life, finding good tent campgrounds around is more difficult than most people would think. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of opportunity for tent camping if you have a week or two and some deep woods experience. You can go take your camping tent into the middle of nowhere and not see another soul for as long as you wish. There are also tent campground sites for people who do not mind being completely crowded by other vacationers. These tent campgrounds give everyone a small little spot of land where they can pitch their tents, some basic amenities such as hot and cold water nearby, and convenient access to a major road or highway. Unfortunately, these so-called tent camping grounds lose everything good about the outdoors. You have no solitude, no privacy, and very little nature around you. Most of the campsites, after all, tend to be almost totally paved.

There was a time when camping was said to be one of the least luxurious kind of holidays. In fact, the impression people had of camping was also not that of a very enjoyable or interesting vacation. The thought of the word "camping" would conjure up images of sleeping in the open, with the hard ground beneath, having a basic meal of beans cooked over the campfire and yeah, the eternal problem of the bathroom outside. Just the thought of all this would be enough to discourage most people who were planning their holidays. Except for a handful of young and energetic couples with no children, hardly any average family dared to venture out for a camping trip. It seems more like an ordeal to them than a form of entertainment.
