well-known such as canoe camping, winter camping, bike camping and car camping.
Camping can be a social event such as with group camping or it can be something a person does on their
own. Camping usually entails cooking your own meals. If tent camping or backpacking, this is often done
over a fire, charcoal, a butane burner or burner stoves using propane or kerosene. However, if you are
at a campground and have electric hookups an electric skillet can work great too. Personally, I love
cooking over an open fire the best. I swear the food tastes better too!
Many types of camping require special equipment. RV or recreational vehicle camping requires a special
type of trailer or vehicle fitted for the camping experience. Most of these include running water,
cooking facilities and bathroom facilities as well as bedding.
Tent camping and backpacking usually involves a tent, bedding and a few cooking items. Tent camping
can be done in a campground or backpacking. Backpackers carry their supplies along with them as they
hike. We love to tent camp. We stayed in an RV once and found it too claustrophobic. A tent
encourages me to be outside which is why I am there in the first place.
While winter camping is done in the winter as opposed to the summer, other types of camping revolve
around another activity such as canoing, biking or driving as with car camping.
The mainstream types of camping, tent camping and RV camping, are often done at state and Federal
park campgrounds as well as recreation centers and private campgrounds.
