Whether your family prefers tent camping or RV camping, both have distinctive characteristics that are enjoyable. Tent camping, or roughing it, is for the bold, hardy camper. But, even the hardy camper would be foolish not to put an air mattress under his sleeping bag. Anything that makes the visit more comfortable is acceptable.
Wild animals can be a potential danger when camping.
Always remember to keep your camp site clean of food debris. Marshmallows and hotdogs that fall off the stick, or are discarded for any reason, should be either burned in the fire pit or placed into a garbage bag or trash receptacle. Bags will need to be placed inside the tent or car, or taken to the Dumpster each day before dark. Trash receptacles need lids. Reinforce the lid by placing a large rock over the top.
