If you asked me what I thought about “glamping” yesterday I would have told you its for stuck-up, rich people who can’t handle being without their materialistic possessions for even a day. Harsh- I know! Until this morning (for real) I looked at my comments on my To Glamp or Not To Glamp poll and saw my Australian follower James’ comment:

“Any type of camping is camping. Whatever you enjoy…. go with it, as long as your out there… just do it !!!”

I thought, “You know what?! He is right! ANY camping is camping and that’s great if you are outdoors and enjoying nature!” So thank you James for enlightening me! So let me continue on to this glamping post… Continue reading →

So now you have conquered getting the idea in your head that you’re going camping but when you actually get there, set up your tent, take a quick walk around the campsite, and have a drink or two say to yourself, “Is this it??!!” Well here are some helpful little tips on what to do while camping (there are SOOO many things to do but here are my favorites):
1.) First and foremost, who you go with matters! If you are with your family and you don’t get along with them or “relate” to them, make sure you grab a good book and Sudoku while packing! If you are with your best freinds then you don’t need any entertainment! You know they are your best friends for a reason and you can have fun no matter where you go! If you are going with a group of friends Continue reading →

So you’ve decided you want to go camping but you don’t know where to begin?!! The most important part about your trip is where you are going and who you are going with! First, take into consideration the weather. If you are going somewhere hot is there shade or a river? If its cold can you build a camp fire? I also like to look at the pattern of weather one week ahead of time. In Southern California you can have it be 90 degrees one day and tomorrow its 60 degrees- I know 60 degrees isn’t cold for any one else in the United States but for Southern California it is!
