Mount Collins Shelter, Smoky Mountains, TN
"Mount Collins Shelter sits only 0.7 miles in from the road to Clingman's Dome. It's a beautiful hike through the pines. This is a typical Appalachian Trail shelter with two large wooden platforms for sleeping, a stone fireplace and bear-proof wire fencing across the front. Outside was a nice fire ring with large logs for benches. I'm looking at two feet of snow on the ground here at home. I can't imagine what it looks like in the Smokies." ~ David

What Has Spoiled One Of Your Camping Trips?

Camping News - Thu, 02/11/2010 - 21:00

I've been on camping trips that weren't necessarily spoiled, but they sure weren't very pleasant. I've been camping where I was attacked by mosquitoes, bombarded by wind and rain, evacuated because of flood and hurricane and invaded by thieving raccoons. I've had noisy neighbors in the next campsite, and I've met inconsiderate camp hosts. I've been to campgrounds where the bathrooms were unsanitary, and I've been camping when I suddenly got sick. Lots of things can happen.

What Is Your Favorite Season To Camp?

Camping News - Thu, 02/04/2010 - 21:00

Summer is obviously the busiest camping season, and I guess you can attribute that to kids being out of school and warm weather, but there are plenty of campers who prefer to camp when it's cold, and there are even some who would rather do it in the snow. Every season has its own attractions and benefits to backpackers, campers and hikers.">
