best tent for car camping image
amber
I'm planning a surprise camping trip for my boyfriend and I since he's never been. I have to plan early so that I cant budget all the things I need to buy for it over time. I haven't been camping since I was a kid so I forget all the things I'll need to bring. Obviously I need a tent, which I happen to have, and sleeping bags. What else should I bring? Also does anyone know any brands or specific sleeping bags with room for two people, or that can be zipped together? We will be car camping for sure so hauling in stuff isn't a problem, we have a truck. Thank you to anyone to answers :)

Use a checklist for the gear you need,

Prepare for the season,

Choose a destination

Make reservations, some destinations get booked six months in advance, like national parks.

Buying camping gear during the off season will be a bit troubling as most places that carry it do so seasonally and what they have will be at full price and in limited quantity. Walmart would be the low price leader for the type of gear you need even though their prices would not be at their seasonal lowest They do have winter rated sleeping bags made by Coleman that would zip together. If you have a truck I suggest a camper shell at the minimum and you could shack up in the back of that. weather being no issue at all then.

Does Martinsville Speedway give tent campers an extra vehicle pass, or is there a free lot for a second car?

I'm planning on tent camping at this weekends race. The website doesn't answer the question, nor their phone tree. I've contacted them via e-mail, and no response. I'm meeting my brother there, and I need to know if the track has a lot they allow the additional vehicle to park in, and if there is a charge. Thei "fan guide" leaves a rather large grey area here.

i've never camped on the speedway grounds, so i wouldn't know. but here's what i always do. on route 220, right across the street from the track, you'll see a little motel called the travel inn. if you are standing with your back to the track looking at the travel inn, you'll see an empty lot on the right. it's owned by a man named lee ramsey, you can camp right there, that's what i always do, just negotiate a price with him for the weekend, he's very reasonable. we usually have that lot to ourselves (we know several people that stay in the motel so we have showers and stuff) we have a camp fire going all weekend. unfortunately, i'm not going next week, it'll be the first october martinsvill race i've missed in years. or, immediately to the right of THAT lot is a much bigger camp ground, still directly across the street from the track, who's rates are also very reasonable. in either lot, you'll have a great time, you'll be right in the middle of tailgating central. if you click on my profile, then click on my facebook link, go to my photos and i have a bunch of pics on there from that campsite under "martinsville photos"
