Camping


Camping- Camping is a great way to "get away from it all".  I like going car camping becuase it is a nice mix of being rugged and having some simple luxeries that makes the trip more enjoyable.  
Camping can be enjoyed with 2-15 or more people!!   
Below is a list of things I like to bring camping.  Don't get overwhelmed!!  Bring whatever you want and the more you go camping the more you will know what you need and what is optional.  

Camping Locations
