cheap family tents for camping image
Cameron
I am going camping with my g/f and her family and I want to make sure I make a good impression. What kind of things should I pack what kind of clothes should I bring etc. It will not be cold, and food will be provided.
Answer
It really depends when and where you're going and the preparedness and skill of the people going with you. But for starters we'll assume a tent, sleeping bag, dining utensils will be provided. You don't want to bring too much stuff, so a small duffle bag is much better than a suitcase which will mark you as a newbie right off. It can also double as your pillow keeping you from being one of those people who try to bring their favorite pillow camping.
I don't know if you have an REI or EMS store nearby but they both stock everything I'll mention?
For clothes you'll want to bring zip-off convertable nylon pants. Maybe two pairs. You can zip them off and swim in the shorts and they'll dry right away. Get a darker color so they don't show the dirt, but can be washed and dried in a few hours.
As for shirts, you'll want to go synthetic, probably a button up collared shirt, but a synthetic T-shirt is good for a second shirt. Or two of each if you're staying longer, just for fashion sake because you can wash and dry those in a few hours as well.
As for shoes you do not need boots of any sort no matter what anyone says. Regular tennis shoes with laces will be fine for any type of hiking.
You might also want to bring Teva sandals for water activities. And clogs or flip flops for around camp shoes.
A windbreaker jacket is your first protective layer over your shirt if it's cold or wet. You could also bring windbreaker pants.
If it's cold in the evenings you might want a puffy jacket or a puffy vest or if it's all you have a fleece jacket will suffice, but isn't as warm as puffy. You don't need gore-tex for anything.
If it might rain you could bring a small umbrella or buy a poncho, either a cheap plastic PVC from Wal-Mart or the more expensive but much tougher coated nylon. You never know when it will rain in the mountains.
Other items:
flashlight
bug spray (Deep Woods Off)
baseball cap
bandana
sunglasses
small daypack for hikes
Gatorade bottles for water (no need for expensive heavy bottles)
emergency whistle
Other tips:
Don't wander off
Watch out for wild animals, rattlesnakes under logs, bears
The most important thing to remember is respect, for the people who've invited you camping, and for the woods they're introducing you to. Do not litter, do not deface or destroy nature or bridges or buildings in the woods. Don't touch other people's stuff without asking. Don't assume if you find something laying around it's been abandoned. Keep quiet, keep your fires small, your cars driving slow, use whatever rest rooms they have or bury your waste. Carry out anything your bring in.

I'm planning a family vacation and would like to camp in Orlando to save $$ as we would need 2 hotel rooms(family of 7), any good campsites under $30 a night tenting. We really just need showers as we will be eating out all meals and gone from 7 or 8am - 10-11pm each day.

It may be hard to find something that cheap. I used to live in Orlando and everything is expensive there. But I think I found some sites that might help. Beware! During the summer, it rains for about an hour in the afternoon everyday! If you change your mind, let me know. I know some cheap hotels in good locations! Have fun!..Oh yea, making and packing your own lunches will save you tons of money!!
