We wanted to be able to carry our stuff with us (like tent and cooking and clothes ect.) and stop at camp sites on the way. Also, we wanted to find a place where we could snorkel. Thanks!

Answer
You shouldn't have any trouble with any of it....contact Lake Quachita....and ask them to send you a map of the lake.....Most of the time you can get one when you are at the lake....they are quite a few places that carry them......snorkel....wow, there are quite a few people that snorkel in Quachita...
You can camp anywhere on the lake.....I believe there are only a few homes along the river that you might not be able to camp ....but, the whole lake is open........Have fun...enjoy the wild life....You'll love the beauty of the mountains that surround the lake

Best place to go tent camping right now?

Ms. W

I live in northern illinois and i'm just tired of the cold weather. I don't have a lot of money but I just need to go somewhere warm. Camping is cheaper than staying at a hotel and I do love nature and away from everyday noise. can someone please give me some input. thanks!

Answer
Go tent camping on the beach, if you can make the drive. I took a roadtrip from Iowa to North Carolina with some friends in March years ago and we camped on the beach. It was a campsite on the North Carolina/South Carolina border. I don't remember the name offhand.

I've also camped on Assateague Island in Maryland/Virginia. Another beautiful place. Camping on the beach is great.

If you can't go far, look into somewhere further south. Arkansas has some beautiful outdoor spots. But, really, anywhere south will be fine. It all depends on how far you can go and how much you can spend.

Play around on GORP's website a little and see if you can find a place to escape to: http://gorp.away.com/gorp/location/main.htm

can you use a backpacking tent for camping multiple nights in a campground?

tents for camping cheap image

xxohellkit

backpacking tents seem generally cheaper and lighter weight, but would they work well for camping in general? i want a tent i can camp in but also use for backpacking if need be
i dont mean if im allowed to, just if it would work and hold up alright

why are they split anyways? isnt a backpacking tent just a lighter camping tent?

Answer
none of the campgrounds I ever heard would care if you slept on the ground without a tent at all as long as you weren't naked

Will it be worth it to take my tent through Europe?

rusted_gut

I am planning to travel Europe mainly by bicycle alone. Probably Greece-italy-Slovenia-Austria-Germany-
Will it actually save money to bring my tent with? Or should I rather leave the hassle of the tent and sleep in hostels. What will be the cheapest?
I have a feeling it may be cheaper to go by hostels, because i have to pay for my tent site, and not for one person as I would have at a hostel. Or maybe I am wrong... could camping be cheaper?

Answer
Get your backpack packed-
The most important item you will need for your backpacking tour of Europe is, of course, the backpack. Suitcases are bulky and hard to lug around everywhere. Plus, your looking to save money and backpacking is the way to do it. So, on the to backpack itself. This piece of gear will be your best friend on your trip and you need to make sure you get the bag that is right for your body and needs. Most major sporting goods stores will carry backpacks and have a very well informed staff that can fit a back to you that will fit your needs perfectly. Don't settle on this step. If you have to try on twenty backpacks until you find the one that offers the most comfort then so be it. These stores should also have weight bags they can place inside of your backpack so that you can know how they will feel with a heavy load in them. Again, do NOT settle on this step, you will regret it later.

Housing-
So you've bought your backpack. Pat yourself on the back because you are now on your way! The next item you will want to pick up is a lightweight tent. Camping is by a mile the cheapest way to travel through Europe.


Touch down-
So you've made it to Europe! Yay! Time to take out that guide book and find a place to stay, get set up and hit the town! Have fun!
