Do You Mind Campground Noise?

Friday November 6, 2009

Relaxing outdoors is one of the great benefits of camping, but sometimes the peace is disrupted by noisy neighbors in the next campsite. RVs running their generators and air conditioners are one thing, and it can be tolerated most times, but how about the campers who bring along portable music to play at the campsite.

How Old Were You When You First Went Camping?

Friday October 30, 2009

Do you remember your first camping trip? How old you were? Seems like yesterday when I was eleven years old, and I went camping for the first time with neighborhood kids, who had invited me along on an overnighter under the stars along the banks of the Licking River in northern Kentucky.

My family wasn't much into outdoor recreation except for the occassional fishing trip to a local pay lake, so I was unaware of camping up to this time. My first overnight campout turned out to be a blast, and I was ready to try longer camping trips.

Do You Take Photos When You Camp?

Friday October 23, 2009

Camping is a great way to share memorable times with family and friends. My wife is best when it comes to taking candid shots when we are on a trip. The campout itself creates lasting memories, but the photos we take help us share those memories with others.

So, do you or anyone you're camping with take photos of the trip? Take the poll and use the photo submission form, if you have a photo that you'd like to include on the Camping Community Photo Gallery.
