Camping Tips From Our Readers
  • Pre-cook spaghetti, bring frozen meatballs and a jar of sauce for a quick, easy meal
  • I bring an inflatable pool for my toddlers (this gives me book time)
  • A hammock is not only relaxing but gives kids hours of fun
  • My mom bought us a tree swing from the dollar store, the kids swung for hours!
  • Oust sanitizer works, it’s the only sanitizer that fits on the joists in the out houses.
  • Bring Bee Spray
  • If you smoke bring something for your butts, it’s not fun for the non-smokers to pick them up.
