    Do you plan to camp weeks in advance?

    I will solo tent camp on the spur of the moment. Most of my stuff lives in the trunk of my car.

    Favorite camping locations

    My favorite is Geneva State Park (Ohio) because of the excellent bike trail that runs from it and goes along the Lake Erie Shoreline.

    What is the most important when purchasing Camping Equipment?

    I am a 57 year old female - also with limited mechanical skills. I chose my Coleman tent because of the manufacturer's reputation and ease of set up. One thing that has always gone camping with me is a dove stool. It is a seat, table, a night stand, a laptop stand, a music stand.... pretty...

    Greetings from Western Pennsylvania

    Welcome from West Virginia. My favorite campground is Geneva State Park in Ohio on Lake Erie. I solo tent camp, and camp with my husband in a little 18ft travel trailer.

    Winterizing the Camper

    I take it back to the dealer for them to winterize it and check it over. They have it done in under 30 minutes and we have piece of mind for next spring. Park it on Lynx Levelers to keep it off the grass, put steel wool around the power cord access to keep out mice, and put a low watt radiant...

    What is in your first aid kit?

    I always camp near civilization, and rely on the kindness of strangers and proximity to an emergency room. Tweezers, a bottle of peroxide, and a box of bandaids has seen me through five seasons.

    RV Pest Control

    Our campus has a hiking trail which, sadly, few seem to use. I like to walk it when the weather has turned cool. I got a chance to take a quick hike last week and passed an tree that had two on the ground and took them home with me. To be honest, I thought they were paw paws, which also bloom...

    I put some Osage Orange balls in my travel trailer. This is the time of year to gather them.

    Mini camping stove

    I have the Biolite stove and really like it. It actually burns better with the accessories on top - the grill or the water pot - since it helps the air flow. But, once you get the hang of starting it, it does burn well. I get wood chunks from Lowes meant for grills - pecan works well. As far...

    Picking/Narrowing Down a Campsite

    We are rarely at the campsite during the day, so campground amenities are fairly unimportant. DH has limited mobility, so we go exploring in the truck during the day. We look for historical sites - we really need a bumper sticker that says "Warning..stops at all roadside markers." We like to...

    Hello From Ohio

    We often do Put-In-Bay, but stay in motels as we bring a boat instead of the travel trailer. My daughter works in Ironton, so Vesuvius is a frequent stop - nice COE lake, too. Will have to check out Cowan Lake.

    Jugging anyone?!

    We live on the Little Kanawa River and ran a trotline for years. We caught catfish and occasionally snapping turtle and gar. The kids loved it as you never knew what was going to come up.

    Does anyone use a camping app?

    I also use phone apps while camping for star charts and weather alerts. I also like the handy app Swiss Army Knife as it has a flashlight, mirror, ruler, compass, and a bubble level mode.

    Hello From Ohio

    Welcome, Tristian! I work in SE Ohio, and often camp in various parts of the state. The Wayne National Forest campgrounds are always well maintained. AEP Lands is great for a quick getaway. My favorite, though, is Geneva State Park. What places do you like?

    Camping Nude

    Good question! Camping is not something I would equate with an activity to do without clothes - mosquitoes and campfire sparks would not be much fun. However, I would not be averse to nude camping by myself or with my spouse. I would not be interested in nude camping with others around, even in...
