Given enough creature comforts camping can be a magical time with morning animal sightings, outdoor sports and views. I usually pre-make my camp food, bring heated clothing, camp during off seasons and camp with friends.

I suggest early summer camping but don't let the cold or rain stop you. Explore public lands and off seasons for free camping spots. Camping is all about embracing the adventure and being prepared for the elements!
