Camping in a campground can be easy with just the basics.
A lot is happening when you are camping, especially in a campground.
There are so many opportunities to mess it up, but the beauty of camping is letting the small stuff go. Beauty lies in the unexpected. How you handle the “what-ifs” is how camping can become manageable.
Planning makes it easy!
You have your reservations; all is packed up and ready to go. You jump into the car or RV and head out.
What could go wrong?You pull into the campground three hours before you can check in; what do you do?
You wake up in the morning to find all the coolers you left outside scattered over the campground with empty food containers, and the camp host is staring you down with loathing.
The family in the next campground continues to walk through your campsite; they are loud and unruly.
Now what?

From Packing Up to Packing Out, notes on how to navigate the campground, road trip tips, and things to do with kids, along with checklist and space for your camp experience, the Let's Go Camping Guide loves the campground.

Things to Note
Know the rules regarding the handicap spots; they are there for a reason.
If you fall in love with a campground and plan to return, walk around and learn the landscape mark spots to love and ones to avoid.
Campers love to share, walk around the campground, and take a look at all the ways you can enjoy a camp home. Make notes on generators, solar panels, and tents.
When you leave your spot, think about giving extra firewood to a fellow camper, thank the camp host, and head out for a road trip filled with happy camping memories.
Take some time the day before departure to pack up items like awnings, outside toys, and food, so packing up is easier the next day with some of the workload done the night before.
Don’t forget to send a few postcard memories home from the campground. Send from a local post office or ranger station.
Give yourself the gift of camping in the campground!
