Tips for a relaxing camping trip
For many of us. a camping trip is as close to a vacation to Disneyland as we can get. I mean, for many of us, unless we are staying at a relative house, the price of a motel room and eating out is not something we can manage comfortable.
Now a vacation should be, by definition, a relaxing affair. Whether you like to camp in a tent or recreation vehicle of some type, with or without others, here are some tips to make your next camping trip a pleasantly relaxing time.
Pick a destination close to home
Ddriving mile after mile to get to your destination isn’t all that relaxing. Dodging high speed semi-trucks, dealing with road construction, to say nothing of the bored and grumpy guys in the backside is nothing close to relaxing. Alternative to these and other frustrations, is a destination close to home. With 176 national forests and grasslands, and even more state and county parks nearby, why not?
Leave electronic “toys” at home including your tunes
Turn cell phones off
Have NO “must do” plans
Keep meals simple which is where the KISS (Keep It Simple Suzi) cookbook for campers comes in handy.
