Use Air Mattresses For Extra Comfort While Tent Camping
When I camp I like as many creature comforts from home as possible. Even though I enjoy tent camping and camping in our pop-up camper my dream is to have a class A motorhome so that I can sleep in total comfort on even the coldest and rainiest nights. Since that isn’t in my budget, I do the next best thing and use air mattresses while camping. It’s as close to my bed at home that I can get without actually dragging my bed from home to the campground; and since my king size mattress doesn’t fit in the back of my Ford Explorer it has to stay home.
Ladder Golf – Play It Indoors or Out
Have you ever played ladder golf? It’s a great camping game and also a great tailgating game. You may also know it by the name blongo ball, hillbilly golf, hillbilly horseshoes, bolo toss, lasso golf or ladder ball, tailgate golf, testicle toss, redneck golf, dingle balls, Chinese golf, monkey golf, monkey balls, beer nutz, or laderbolen. Our family calls it blongo ball because that’s the name on the box of the set we bought although sometimes we call it…um……testicle toss – but only in adult company. The kiddies know it as blongo ball or ladder golf and as a really fun game.
Book Your Camping Dates Early
If you haven’t already booked your camping dates for 2010, now is the time to do it. People reserve the best sites at popular campgrounds seconds after they become available to reserve and some campgrounds accept reservations up to a year in advance. It may already be too late to snag a site at some of the most popular campgrounds but there are still plenty of great places with sites still available.
Camping Shows Have The Latest Campers and Camping Gear
Are you in the winter doldrums and anxiously waiting for camping season to start? If you live in a cold climate like I do and the idea of winter camping in the snow is not appealing, then you may be dreaming of warm summer evenings sitting around a campfire enjoying s’mores (yum!). Instead of sitting at home waiting for camping season to start, head out to a local camping show to check out the latest in campers and camping gear, and to chat with fellow campers.
Camping is the Ultimate Budget Friendly Vacation
If you are looking for a vacation that won’t demolish your budget, try camping. Campground fees are cheap with some parks charging $10 or less a night for a campsite; plus it’s a great way to connect with nature and spend quality time with family and friends or just spend some quality time with yourself enjoying the outdoors.
