There is nothing more fun than camping. One of the most important things to consider when camping is where to set up camp. Not all camping spots are created equal, and the choice you make about your camping spot could make your experience either good or bad. Here is a bit of advice that can help you choose a good camping spot.<br /><br />One of the most important parts of your camping gear is your tent. The tent you buy should suit your needs and the size of your camping party. If you have young children, you probably want to purchase a large tent so they can sleep in the same tent with you. If your children are old, buy them their own tent so they don't have to bunk with the adults.<br /><br />If you are going on a camping adventure, make sure you have enough time to set up camp before dark. It can be extremely difficult to set up camp in the dark and possibly unsafe. You need to be able to scout the terrain, prepare bedding, and possibly build some temporary shelter prior to the sun going down.<br /><br />Water is very important when camping.

In some parks they have been known to rip open the trunk of a car to gain access to food. Raccoons are also a big problem in many campgrounds. Not only are they smart and can gain access to your food supplies easily, but they can carry disease as well.<br /><br />If you are going camping with your pets or children, you need to take a few extra precautions. Try to teach your kids the basics of camping safety. They need to know what to do if they get lost and should each have a small survival kit. Make sure you have leashes for any pets and make sure they are current with all vaccinations.<br /><br />When you reach your campsite, the first thing, you should do is to start collecting wood for your fire. You won't feel like it later on, and if you wait until dark you will have a harder time finding the kind of wood you need to keep a fire going. Do it right away.<br /><br />Purchase some special camping pillows. Standard pillows can get hot and sticky in humid weather. They also absorb moisture out of the air and can mildew quickly. Camping pillows, on the other hand, possess a protective coating that prevents that from happening.<br /><br /><br /><br />Be certain your camp fire is completely out before you leave a campsite.

Tell someone where your trip will be, and how long you'll be gone. And if you can, check in regularly using a mobile phone.<br /><br />Always have all your gear prepared before the trip. You never want to forget something important, like a tent or your sleeping bag. In order to ensure that this does not happen, make a checklist before you head out and cross off the items as you pack them.<br /><br />Bring bug spray. If you forget your bug spray on a camping trip, you will deeply regret it. Try a few different bug sprays ahead of time. Find something that works and doesn't irritate your skin.
