  2. I love love love camping! I'm not going until later this summer though. We go to Algonquin Park. It is so beautiful, but a bit rustic as far as the bathroom situation. Time for a bath in the lake! :S haha

  3. Oh, I love camping! My trips are always filled with awful food and "truth or dare". And usually someone throws a tantrum. Never a dull moment for us! Haha. xD

  6. Oh, I like camping! I used to be a Scout so I'm pretty used to in sleeping under the stars. My last camping was on the beach a couple of weeks ago. I've also posted photos on my blog

    The best thing you could bring with you is something to keep away the mosquitoes! :-)
    Have Fun!

  7. I love it!! Lucky you!
    We were planning on going this summer, and hopefully we still can, but right now we are tied down here to my husbands job! :/ Lame.
    But I hope you have an awesome time!! :)

  9. I recommend an LED lantern, especially if where you are going has those nasty outhouse bathrooms...I'd get lost if I didn't have a lantern...
    Hope you have lots of fun camping! I really wish I could go too

  10. i LOVE camping! my suggestions are simple... a knife to carve sticks, some hotdogs to roast on said sticks once they are sharp, and chocolate & graham crackers to sandwich roasted marshmallows once you're done using the sticks for hot dogs. oh, and a warm sweater so you can stay out way past sunset :)
    have fun!

  13. Don't forget CHAIRS! Haha. I went about a month ago, my boyfriend went up late on the Thursday night with a friend to make sure they got the spot (we camp out on this place only accessible by boat) and then my friend and I drove up early Friday morning. Just before I left my boyfriend called to make sure I brought chairs, because they had completely forgot. That would be been a long weekend sitting on the dirt! Especially because it rained! Bring some tarp just in case it does rain. Make sure you have lots of food, pillows (would suck to forget that!) and a few changes of clothes! One of my friends fell in the lake TWICE on the first day in his clothes! Haha. He had one pair of pants that were soaked the entire time! Have a great time.

  16. My first experience camping wasn't a good one, the people I went with didn't bring anything fun to do or want to explore the woods! But remember to bring bug repellent! lol Have fun. :)

  18. We're going camping in a few weeks in Yosemite! I haven't been in SUCH a long time, but we went all the time when we were kids. I bought a rad vintage coffee canister pump thing and we bought some chairs. We definitely need a tent and sleeping bags! People definitely suggest an air mattress even if it's cheap! They also have super cute red vintage-y looking lanterns at wal-mart (ew i know!) for only $5 :)

    I'm just begging to feel the spring coming back, here in southern hemisphere it's quite cold, brrr! I want the summer back in town! To camp, to walk, to make pic-nics, to wear dresses :)
