best tents for family camping review image
Daniel
I am a police explorer and we are having a camping trip (4 days 3 nights). They are bringing the food and shelter, I have never gone camping before so i know very little of what to bring.
Oh I live in Arizona and there is going to be showers in walking distance.
1 more thing we are allowed to bring knifes and all that good stuff!
Answer
You have to ask, WHERE are you camping. Near a beach, deep in the forest trail, mountain, well managed accessible park?
WHAT are you doing? Is it a family event with children? Just adults but relaxed, or "real" camping?
CONDITIONS: Will you have water and electricity? Shower and toilet facilities? Check weather forecast.
Go to the state park website whichever state you are camping and read the reviews and research the details.
But for generalization: cover the essentials.
1. Lighting - Gas/propane/battery lantern, LED headlamps.
2. Sleeping pad/bag and pillow - $5 foam at wal-mart or self inflating pad for about $20-25. or an airbed for about $80. You need to protect your spine if you are not used to sleeping on the ground.
3. First Aid kit, insect repellent, sun screen, citronella candles.
4. Tools - knife, ax, mallet/hammer, small shovel, matches/lighter, multi-tool.
5. Shelter - Ropes, Nylon, bungees. Tarps - In case it rains, most tents are not water proof.
6. Clothing - Minimal essential clothing, they take up space quickly, but don't run out. Or just keep them in the car.
7. Water - Plenty of drinking water, you might have to run to a store after 2 days. More if you plan to do physical activities like sports. And get some Ice while you're at the store. Extra Ice is always good.
8. Coolers - Keep raw meats cold and separate from ready to eat food.
9. Cooking - Propane stoves or coal and fire wood. utensils. Don't forget the propane.
10. Hygiene - Your personal kit, Dish soap/sponges, trash bags.
11. Cash - You never know.
12. Toys - whatever constitute to you as a toy. Board games, cards, musical instruments, boom box, bike, hammock.
I gave you a list not of items but conditions and what to fill them with.
Basically, whatever you do inside, you're just doing it outside.
Coordinate with others and try to help each other.
Camping is about functioning as a community.
If food and cooking are covered, it should even be easier.
You will end up with:
1 large camping backpack - Basic essentials
1 medium cooler - Food/water
1 handheld lamp.
Be safe and Have Fun!

Need recommendation for a hotel near Yosemite National Park?
Annieme71
We are going to visit Yosemite for a day in September. Is there a nice place at around the park to stay or do you have to stay in a nearby town?
Answer
Hey there! September is a really good time to visit, once some of the summer-vacation crowds have left. I used to live and work in the Yosemite area, and have tried many of the places to stay both in and around the park. Here are some recommendations.
*INSIDE YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK*
In Yosemite Valley, the heart of the park, the cabins at Curry Village are fun, though the safari-style tents may be too rustic if you're not into camping. The Lodge at Yosemite Falls has typical cookie-cutter motel rooms -- not worth the price. If money is no object, the Ahwahnee hotel is luxurious.
In the southern part of the park, near the biggest redwood tree grove, the Wawona Hotel is an old-fashioned place. If you'd rather stay up in the high country of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the park has tent cabin lodging near Tuolumne Meadows that's fun for families, though a bit rustic.
You can find out more info about all of these in-park accommodations here:

*OUTSIDE YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK*
Most of the towns near the park entrances offer basic motel and hotel lodgings, mostly chains, at inflated prices. I've found the fairest deals in Oakhurst, just south of the park. You can peruse recent traveler reviews here:

Otherwise, Groveland (northwest of the park) has some good options, too, in many price ranges. Our all-time favorite place to stay near Yosemite is the Evergreen Lodge:

Just outside the park's west entrance, the hostel-like Yosemite Bug has cozy cabins, tents and dorms for budget travelers, family-style:

Any other questions, just ask! Happy to share what I know about Yosemite. You can click on my profile to email me, too, if you prefer.
