How can someone who hates camping make the most of it?

tents for camping easy to set up image

ADB

A friend invited me on a 3 night, 4 day camping trip with her and her family. I would really like to spend time with my friend, but I've never been much of an "outdoor girl". I like a nice hotel room over sleeping on the ground. That said, I need to get away and would really like to try something new. How do you make the most of a camping trip? What's the best way to sleep comfortably and avoid getting eaten alive by mosquitoes? Any hints, tips, or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Answer
Turn it into a glamping adventure by bringing all the comforts of home. The easiest way to do that is to use a recreational vehicle they can be rented for the day, the weekend, the week or all summer. These are a hotel on wheels basically and all campgrounds accommodate them.

If that is not your thing then tenting can still be a clamping adventure but still just as costly for the first timer. You start with getting a spacious tent and then outfitting it with the state of the art air beds, warm fluffy sleeping bags and or bedding, and comfy camp chairs and a nice side table with a coleman lamp an indoor/outdoor rug by the door and you have a wonderful and comfortable set up.

Skeeters can be kept at bay the same way that you would in your own back yard and decorate your campsite to. You can set out citronella oil lanterns and candles and then use a deet based product on your clothing.

How can I make a home made camping shade?

Jerry

This weekend Im camping at a festival and theres a chance I might not get a spot by some trees to use as leverage, so does anyone know how I can make a "Quik Shade" without buying one?

Answer
all you need are 2-5 6ft poles some rope and an 10x10 tarp.

The easiest is to set 2, 6ft poles 10ft apart and tie down the 2 poles like you would an a frame tent. throw the tarp over that and then stake out the tarp. some what like this pic

Adding poles to the four corners again staked out like a tent with a pole in the middle to prop it up and your done. some what like this pic
