49 Things You Need to Know About Camping 

 

Finally, the weather has improved, spring has arrived and I have camping on my mind.  I’m not quite sure what I love about leaving my comfortable home with bathrooms, showers, bathtubs, stove, oven, electricity, running water and comfortable beds to live out of boxes & bags in the middle of nowhere, but I do!

I have always felt I was born 100 years too late. I think I was destined to travel in a covered wagon and set up a life somewhere on the prairie.  It’s no wonder that the “Little House on the Prairie” series of books are some of my favourites!

If you are like me and love camping and everything associated with living in the great outdoors, this post is for you.  I sent out the call for camping related posts and my fellow bloggers were up to the challenge!

Below you will find a Camping Round Up.  A compilation of 49 posts to inspire you to head out into the wilds and set up housekeeping!

A very special thank you to all of my blogging friends who contributed to this post!
