Again Our Topic is Camping and Outdoor Activities for a Spring and Summer Family Vacation,

We want to congratulate our partner www.CampingStation.com for providing us Quality and Much needed information for this topic,

The first thing you would need to decide, Is Camping made for you and your family, Do you enjoy nature, could you and would you go the extra mile, giving up the comfort of your home and/or an hotel room on your vacation, We would not mention your bed, because today an unbelievable selection of camping Air Beds are available from a variety of manufacturers, that would keep you comfortable all night, for weeks,

Then consider sleeping outdoors, Sleeping under the stars could be the most beautiful experience, in a perfect weather you would have the sweetest dreams when you sleep in fresh outdoor air, you connect to nature,

To Choose a Tent, We suggest for a Family Camping Trip a good tent but does not mean expensive, by spending a 5 to 6 hundred dollars on a Tent is not worth it except if you go often and for a long time, or on mountains that have heavy winds and / or rain, Otherwise a simple Family Dome Tent or a good Cabin Tent should be the choice,

For Sleeping you would need a Camp Pad or an Air Bed, and your sleeping bag should be based on what you have beneath it, if you decide to go with just a pad you would need a heavier sleeping bag, but if you have a Camping Air Bed then your choice should be made only on the weather conditions,

For Car Camping you don’t need much more beside taking along Games, Activity Articles, If you are a relaxing type, and you would like to plug you self out from the stressful world a Hammock is ideal to take a long, Take along a few Books and you will enjoy every minute of it,

If you like the sun and enjoy tanning this Beach chair would be the best choice for you,
It allows you to read and tan comfortably your front and back, Click to see more Images and details

Outdoor and Camping Cooking deserves a separate article which we will continue in the near future,

The Friedman Family was hit by the economy as thousands of other US families, but being a working Mom, we decided not to let our economic situation stop us from going on a family trip by Mid Winter vacation,

We asked friends and Family of their past vacations, and one of our great friends were enjoying last summer a great vacation in the NY Catskills, Family Camping, Kayaking and Enjoying the Outdoors, after discussing it with my hubby we decided to drive down from Virginia to Florida and to find a Camp Site with amenities, We found a great place in Big Pine Key FL. and being the first time to go on a Camping Trip we had little experience on what we need, we called our friend and advised us to shop at 10 ft cabin tent which was really roomy for the four of us, but the great part was the fun of getting it up and changing the tent to a screen house during the day,
The Kids Loved setting it up And we did Outdoor Cooking, Grills, and Playing Ball, And had fun by the Pool, and we tanned on the Ostrich 3N1 Beach Chair, Which is worth mentioning that at Camping Station.com we paid $17.00 less than by other retailers, and we had such a great time tanning on this chair, its comfortable for front and back tanning, this idea is great and we were looked at by every bypasser on the beach,

Best of all our 8 day vacation cost us less then $680.00 and most of it is for the gear that we will re-use this summer and hopefully again next winter,
