My favorite thing about camping is the beautiful mountain air. The sky at night is spectacular! Seeing the stars away from the city lights is wonderful. Plus I love a good hot dog roasted over the fire and a perfectly toasted marshmallow for s’mores. But it’s the people you go with that make it truly great.

When I was a girl, we had a memorable camping trip as a family. We camped in the mountains of NC for a week and at the Outerbanks of NC for the next week. Funny that I remember the time in the mountains more. My dad rented a pop up camper and pulled it behind the Rambler we had. I remember loving breakfast cooked and eaten outdoors “in the clouds”. Food never tasted better! It was the best family vacation ever.

I used to camp my n a huge park way up north. It had many lakes and hat we could canoe on and the campground was one a small lake. We camped across that lake and found a short stream into a larger lake. It was so beautiful back there and quiet and not was it full of fish. Never saw anyone else there so it was not known well if at all.

It has been so long since I have gone camping. There are so many things to like about it…getting away from routine, news, daily life, etc. I remember one time going camping and when going into the lake, these little fish came along and were trying to bite the little hairs on my legs. We don’t shave our legs on camping trips.

I have been camping since I was little. We camped for vacation as a child and an adult, plus Scouts.
I love the whole experience, the smell of the campfire, the food, the tent, everything. And of course Smores.

My favorite part of camping is—or should I say was, as I haven’t been doing that since my grandma passed away and the family stopped getting together—the sounds and smells. The sound of a fire snapping and cracking, of the waves lapping the lake shore, and of the brakes on the log trucks. The smell of the campfire, the coffee and bacon my grandma was cooking, and of the pine trees and Central Oregon desert. I also miss watching the osprey dive for fish while drinking sun tea, or going out on the lake with my grandpa to fish for kokanee and seeing the Cascades rise above the tree line.

My favorite part of camping was when I was about 3-1/2 to 5 not for sure. But I remember the family going camping and I held my hair up and Dad and everyone got a kick out of it because the water was only inches deep. I clearly remember it. But it’s also in pictures. The water was ice cold. But then the air was so hot…

Oh there are so many things I love about camping that I can’t choose just one. I love just being out in nature, seeing the wildlife, The sunshine and natural vitamin D the sun gives us. The family time, or sometimes the much needed solo time, the fishing and foraging, the treasure hunting for fun rocks, fossils, and gifts from the creatures of the Earth, like feathers, or shells. I just looooove the outdoors! :o)
