Camping Lovers Guide

One of the all-time great American past-times is camping. There's just something great about stretching out under the stars with your spouse or family. Where else can you find such peace and serenity for the price of nothing? Yeah, that always resonates with the human species. FREE! Camping is still free. Thank God they haven't started taxing us for pitching a tent in the woods. Now, you've probably already guessed that I'm not talking about RV parks and campgrounds. That stuff is for lightweights and beginners. It's more of a social gathering than it is a camping expedition. The truly great camping takes place away from the smog of the city and the jabbering of other humans. First you find a nice deserted place out in the woods and you pitch your tent and build the fire ring. Oh, and of course, don't forget the camping supplies. Anyone know of any great camping shops?

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.
