Have You Ever Camped on the Holidays?

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 03:00:33 +0000

The holidays are a great time to get together with family and friends. I hope you all are enjoying this festive time of year. The weather in December can be quite harsh in many parts of the country, but in some areas this can be the very best time of year to be outdoors. Ask any snowbird. They know the advantages of heading south for the winter.

Jean Sickler took this picture of the camping loop on Thanksgiving Day at Spirit of the Suwannee Campground, Live Oak, Florida.

I know there are a lot of die-hard campers and RVers out there, but have any of you ever camped on the holidays? If you have, leave a comment and share your holiday camping experiences.

Have You Tent Camped In The Snow?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:14:21 +0000

Winter weather is encroaching on most parts of the country. Now imagine camping at this time of year and exiting your tent in the morning to a snow covered campsite. That warm sleeping bag probably never felt better. Tent camping in the snow can be fun and exhilerating. If you haven't already done so, you should give it a try. Just be sure to go prepared.

Do You Mind Campground Noise?

Fri, 06 Nov 2009 07:18:34 +0000

Relaxing outdoors is one of the great benefits of camping, but sometimes the peace is disrupted by noisy neighbors in the next campsite. RVs running their generators and air conditioners are one thing, and it can be tolerated most times, but how about the campers who bring along portable music to play at the campsite.
