| Whether Camping in Canada, Idaho, Missouri, Arizona or Alaska- the options are endless. While your options may narrow considerably if you are looking to hike, fish, or boat, it would still take a lifetime to experience it all without even heading to an international location! However, just because there are many spots for camping, you don’t just pack your RV and run off to the first camping spot you come across. Lots of thought goes into choosing a camping location. When you are choosing a camping location, it is necessary to first consider the accessibility to the camping spot, especially if you will be arriving by RV. Consider how you intend to get to the camping spot in your RV. Remember to check if there is access to clean water for use during your camping trip. If you’re planning to have a campfire, you need dry firewood. So choose a camping location where there is access to dry firewood so you don’t actually have to carry all your wood to the camping spot! It is always better to choose a camping spot that has dead wood since live wood just smokes and doesn’t burn well. Most important, carefully evaluate the ‘uncharted areas’ when choosing a camping location. Camping spots which are not established may make your RV lean during the night (hard to stay in bed that way!) or you may end up sharing anything you leave outside with the local critters. If you are adventurous and want to try out an ‘uncharted area’, make sure the terrain is level enough for you to camp and also to get out of if the weather turns bad. The best places to look for a camping location would be in the local state parks, national forests, conferring with friends who have gone camping, and of course through the internet. By Sam Jordan |
