Campsite

Plus, a campsite without electricity is just twelve dollars a day (“Rock Creek Recreational Area”). According to U.S. Department of Transportation, the average miles per gallon of a light duty vehicle is twenty-one; according to GasBuddy the average cost of gas in…

My adventures in Boy Scout summer camp You should really go to boy scout summer camp. Here is a short story on why you should go. The first day after we arrived at camp we chose our bunkmates and tents I selected a kid named Daniel. Upon getting set up, a group of people who brought phones walked, up the trails on the mountain once we got to the top we found the sweet thing called cell service. We stayed up there for hours. On our way down, a kid tripped and hurt, his ankle so half the group…

us. The smell of bug spray and sunscreen drifted through the air. We had just arrived at our campsite. Stepping out of the car was like being an alien stepping on a new planet. Everything was different. It was peaceful. There were children running around on the volleyball courts, parents cleaning dishes from their breakfast, and dogs lying calmly underneath the shade of the massive trees at every campsite. I was five years old and it was my first time going camping. We were with our church…

I am so happy to finally get the trip started. I meet up with my friends and we take a ferry to our campsite. We take the truck to the campsite and start setting up camp. I set up my tent on the edge of the river we were staying on. At this point the only thing I had in mind was getting a pole in the water! So, even before I had all my stuff set up I took the canoe and…

Tent Footprint vs. Tarp – Care to Know Which Extra Works the Best? As a backpacker who usually flies solo, I don’t mind sleeping in a hammock or a tent. Both shelters are quite spacious for even a full-grown camper like me; that’s why either will work fantastically. The only situation that can rain on my parade is rain itself. I used to not own a weatherproofed marquee, so the water leaking from all sides worries me in every trip. Thus, even now that I have one, I prefer not to leave behind the…

It was a misty morning; the sun was rising up before 5 AM I was struggling to wake up. I could hear a loud noise outside because of my dad was putting equipment in the trailer. My sister and I started get very excited because it was our first time going camping. My dad had finally finished putting things in the trailer, so then we all set off to the gas station to wait for the other families to arrive. There were over 5 families including us that were going camping. While we were waiting, my dad…

The bear looked towards us and we quickly ran. It was the summer of 2010 and we went up camping at Nordhouse Dunes campground(Manistee National Forest). Its was a bright sunny Saturday morning. The smell of fresh bacon being cooked over a campfire with a nice glass of milk to drink. We had the whole day planned out for us. Eat breakfast, and go for a walk in the dunes. Then later that night we decided that we would make some s'mores once it gets dark. It was gonna be a normal camping trip, but…

For my ethnography project I have chosen to research campground workers. Campground workers set up, regulate, and maintain state campgrounds as well as local campgrounds and recreational sites. Staff clean campsites after visitors and make sure that each campground is maintained well and the park is respected properly. Staff include police rangers who also keep the parks and camsites up to date by making sure everyone visiting also respect nature while at the same time enjoy the peace and quiet…

I was a boy scout as a kid and my troop did a lot of camping. One outing, when I was a patrol leader (that 's when you 're in 8th grade or so), we went to a place we called Pinacles. It was going normally and we were all having a good time except for the next morning I woke up to a horrible surprise. While asleep this kid in my tent wet the bed for some duration of time that allowed the piss to soak through his sleeping bag and into the tent where it soaked into my duffel bag. This was the…

feel. You had to swish it around in your mouth a few times before you could get used to the taste, it was a irony taste almost of metal. There was about 50-100 cans of beans in the cabinet so you could tell these people were prepared. We were at the campsite getting ready to go to sleep even…
