Be prepared
I have very fond memories of our camping trips. My dad and I would take our tent, sleeping bags, and fishing poles and head down the local lake for a camping trip. Camping is an excellent activity for the whole family. On the other hand it can become a disaster if you do not prepare or don’t know what to expect.
The best place to start is probably with a commercial campground if
this is your first camp experience. These campgrounds are sometimes listed in the Yellow Pages. They don't cost very much and usually of showers, bathrooms, and electrical hookups, and running water. Commercial campgrounds also usually have activities for the whole family.
Once you get some experience with camping you may then decide that you want to rough it out in the woods on your own. Regardless of where you decide to go camping it is very important that you are prepared. Here's a list of some things you should consider to make sure that you're prepared for an enjoyable camping trip.
