Being someone who has seen a lot of the great places in in Bright, camping in Bright still is hands down one of the most fun things to do in Bright, Victoria (in my opinion). With the beautiful bush setting, surrounded by the highest peaks in Victoria, there is simply no better way to "rough it up" in Bright.

Camping in Bright comes in many different shapes and forms. For one, there are many great caravan parks and camping grounds available in the area, ranging anywhere from Bright to Porepunkah, and even out to Mt Beauty, each town has a luxury place to camp in style, most with available electricity, and amenities. Mt Beauty Holiday Park is one that I cherish, having spent almost every single Christmas from the time I was a toddler until my early teens camped on the Kiewa River underneath the imposing bulk of Mt Bogong. This was a great way to experience a family holiday, with the owners of the caravan park being extremely hospitable, however, this is definitely not an option for those who want to head to the bush, and "rough it up" a little.

How often do you venture off on a camping trip? Are you one of those once a year kind of families, or do you practically live in the woods year-round? I have to say for our family it's more of an annual thing these days. It's just so hard to pull away from work, school, and family functions in order to have that date with Mother Nature. Although I was never big on camping supplies myself, it seems that we've added quite a few to the backpacks now days. I blame my wife for this. She's not exactly an outdoor nut. When we head off to the timber, I know there's one thing she absolutely has to have and that's one of those new-age camping heaters. Have you even heard of such a thing?

Any camper who claims never to make a mistake in the bush is either handling the truth carelessly or doesn’t get out there too often. No matter how many years we’ve been at it, all of us are guilty of an occasional “error of judgment”.

But is that such a problem? Certainly not. If we admit to the blunder, carefully think through it, and try to salvage a lesson from it, each mistake becomes a more effective learning experience than any number of trouble-free camping trips.

It seems to me, though, a few campground blunders crop up more frequently than others, particularly among newbies of the outdoor scene. Here are seven bloopers you should watch out for:

Mistake #1: Poor choice of equipment
