A Girl's Guide to Camping - Camping Tips for Newbie's


Camping Tip #1 - Reserve your spot.
If you are new to camping, it might be best to stick to established campsites. You can research and reserve a campsite for you and your girls on websites like www.reserveamerica.com.

Camping Tip #2 - Prepare for the trip.

Food. Think of what is light and easy to cook—instant oatmeal and soup, PB&J sandwiches and nuts are all good options. Pack all of your food in plastic bags to keep out moisture.

Water bottles. Besides containing your water, they come in handy if you get a bit chilly at night. Simply pour hot water into your bottle and put it in the bottom of your sleeping bag before you go to sleep. Nalgene is one of the most popular brands of camping water bottles.
