Camping anyone?

Camping can be wonderful. With the right weather, in a beautiful spot, with your worries left behind, and with a person/people who enjoy each other, it can be awesome!

Waiting on my tax return. I need to buy a new tent.

Already got my state and county park passes for the year and my fishing license. I'm really looking forward to when I can schedule my first trip of the year.

Haha. Really? I grew up camping. My parents had a pop-up camper, and during the summer almost every weekend we went camping.

My favorite retreat is camping. I've recently found a place near Emerald Village that I'm anxious to try...but it must stop raining for several days.

Since I'm physically unable to "rough it" at very rustic locations now, I've been thinking of converting an old VW Bug into a custom Tear Drop.

Camped this past weekend near Lake Lure. Had a nice quiet time, wish I had been able to stay all week

We absolutely loved camping! Lake Jocassee, Lake Lure, Davidson River, Hunting Island, the list goes on and on.

Afemmenatalie this is EXACTLY how I feel about staying at a 4 or 5 star hotel

We are leaving today for the lake!

Even though we have floor issues, we had this trip paid for and planned for quite a while, and we need the time away!

We have a new surf side 30' trailer with a huge slide-out...not camping in some folks minds, but we enjoy the comforts (I'm old) while being in nature. We spend a lot of time searching for good campgrounds instead of just pulling up to a concrete pad somewhere, otherwise we could just stay at home in the driveway.

At some point ya have to realize it's time to stop laying on the ground. My time for that has come in the last few years.

Hope yall have a great trip!

Well, I guess it's about time for all you outdoors enthusiasts to start thinking about camping adventures!

I am NOT a camping person let me be clear! HOWEVER I recently saw a area in WA state that IF I were to ever camp, this might be the one place I’d consider!

Twanoh State Park is a 182-acre marine, camping park with 3,167 feet of saltwater shoreline on Hood Canal. The park is situated on one of the warmest saltwater beaches in WA State. This is because Hood Canal is one of the warmest saltwater bodies in Puget Sound. Wading, swimming and oyster and crab harvesting are immensely popular here.

CAMPING
The park has 25 tent spaces, 22 full hookup spaces, six restrooms and one shower. Maximum site length is 35 feet (may have limited availability).. All campsites are first-come, first-served.

BOATING
The park offers one watercraft launch ramp and 100 feet of dock.

Hey Homoe,

If you are tempted by the outdoors but want convenience and a touch of luxury, perhaps Glamping is worth a look.

The older and creakier I get, though I was brought up on "boondock" style camping, I gotta say this has appeal!

MsTinkerbelly · 05-06-2016, 09:13 PM

We camped at a state beach near Santa Barbara a few years ago...we were in a RV then, and next to our State Beach was a camping resort.

Full on glamping! We took a tour just for the heck of it, and even joined the outdoor concert and BBQ put on for the guests. They even come to your site and light your campfire for you!

If real luxury in the out of doors is your thing, definitely give glamping a try!
