What Has Spoiled One Of Your Camping Trips?
Wed, 08/25/2010 - 21:00Guest happycampr sent in this story: Ants, ants and more ants."My husband and I were not new to camping. We'd been tent campers for a few years, and we finally uprgaded to a pop-up camper. It had no extras. Basically it was a 4000 lb tent. But we didn't have to sleep on the ground, and we could stand up to change our clothes. Anyways, we took it out for the second time." Read more...

"Very nice campground. Bath house was very clean and roomy. Nice camp store and staff. All sites are wooded and most located along the Creek. It was nice falling asleep to the sounds of rippling water." ~ dstevenj

Loaded Chicken Breast
Sun, 08/22/2010 - 21:00Camping Recipe of the Week
Don't forget to have a napkin handy, because I guarantee your mouth will water once you try this!
Loaded Chicken Breast - submitted by Kym Shelton:
"Generally, the longer you let the chicken sit in the marinade, the better it tastes. I let it sit overnight in a water-tight container in the cooler. I also suggest that you use the Perdue Perfect Portions chicken - it is already cut and flat enough for this recipe. Don't forget to have a napkin handy, because I guarantee your mouth will water once you try this!"

Are Holidays a Bad Time To Camp?
Thu, 08/19/2010 - 21:00Labor Day weekend is popular as the last time for family to go camping before the kids return to school, if they haven't already. Consequently, campgrounds can become overcrowded, and due to holiday celebrating, they can be noisy and downright unruly. Management may be overwhelmed by it all. I enjoy the serenity of camping, so I avoid camping on holidays.">

Camping Blogs
Wed, 08/18/2010 - 21:00Daphne Worsham says her blog, Running K & R Ranch, is primarily "... for family and friends, as we are on the road six months out of the year, and traveling around Texas for the remainder of the year. We share our experiences with campgrounds both public and private, history of the areas we travel through, tips on RV travel and occasional recipes developed for Dutch oven cookery or the limited resources one has in an RV."
Daphne's camping tips:
- Plan for all eventualities - extra food and water, insect repellent, and take along a few field guides especially if you have children. Help them learn about birds, weather, rocks, whatever they are interested in. Busy children are happy campers!
