Camping in Florida is quite an experience. Known as the Sunshine state, Florida offers a vast selection of campgrounds to choose from. Florida tent camping has become a popular past time for many families and even for people that come to the sunny state for vacation. The cost of tent camping is, in some cases, less than half the cost of a hotel room, so more and more people have jumped on the bandwagon, for camping in tents. You can afford to stay twice as long on vacation with this type of accommodation verses staying at a hotel or motel.
The busy season for camping in Florida are the fall and winter months. Florida is pretty much warm all year. Northern states, in the winter months, are usually engulfed in a cold blanket, making vacations seem un-inviting. That is, if you are not into skiing. Most people envision a warm, sunny place to relax and kick back, when they think of taking a vacation. Perhaps that is why Florida is known for its Snowbirds. Snowbirds are Northerners that live here in the winter months and go back up north in the summer months. Who could blame them; this way they get the best of both areas year round.
Florida is pretty much warm all year round, making it the hot spot for avid campers and vacationers. The appeal of the places where you can camp is incredible. You can camp right on the water and in some cases right on the beach. Most campgrounds offer an array of activities, from Friday night movies to church on Sundays. Most offer bike rentals and some even offer canoe and kayak rentals. Florida tent camping is a quick and convenient way to go and get away, as you have the freedom to go to several different places, paying next to nothing for each nights stay.
You can get to do more and see more on your vacation when you opt for camping as your accommodations and you will find that you and your family will have a better bonding experience when all is said and done. Camping has been proven to bring people closer together and it helps you get back in touch with nature. There is something about sitting round a campfire at night roasting marshmallows. It brings a peace that you do not get from a hotel stay. Perhaps it is due to the fact that you are truly away from it all and that alone, can have a relaxing effect.
Many campgrounds offer many different amenities such as: swimming pools (heated in the winter months), Hot tubs or Jacuzzis, Bath/shower houses with laundry facilities, miniature gold, shuffle board, recreational rooms with pool tables and organized functions, hiking and/or biking trails as well as boating and fishing excursions. With Florida tent camping you can double the amount of things you can do with the money you save on your campsite. Many campsites have power and water to make your stay more comfortable.
So if you are planning a getaway with family or friends, you may want to look into tent camping. You can get away from the hustle and bustle of your daily life and take time for you. Take some much needed time with your family. Check with your local sporting good stores for camping guides for different areas or check the Internet to see where the camping hot spots are. Choose the tent that fits your family's needs and size. You want to be comfortable and have space to move around in while you are camped out in a tent. Florida tent camping is the way to go when planning your family vacation or even if you just want to get away with some friends or that special someone.
Tent And Camping Equipment
I started tent camping with my family at a very early age. It started out one summer I was about five years old and I still remember mom and dad packing the camping tent and all the other supplies into the small four door sedan that we had. We were off to Yosemite for a week of tent camping under the giant trees.
What a great thing this was for us! Your first experience tent camping is quite a powerful one for kids. You are so inundated with new sites and smells and sounds you hardly know what to do with yourself. There is always the long drive to deal with, witch has gotten no better over the years. This is just the anticipation of the adventures to come. When I was little my sister and I used to count volkswagons to pass the time in the car.
Once you reach you destination that’s where the fun begins! Now it’s time to set up camp. Helping dad set up our camping tent for the first time was interesting to me. At first I couldn't grasp how this pile of poles and material could possibly turn into anything we could sleep in. Dad would say hand me that pole or give me that spike and before I knew it the tent took shape. This was very cool to me!
Now that you have set up your camp witch is going to be your home base for the duration of your trip its time to explore the incredible sites around you. I had never been tent camping so I had never seen hiking trails or big boulders to climb on before. All I can say is wow! This was like the biggest playground in the world to me. I couldn’t get enough of everything around me and the week was gone before I knew it. I couldn’t wait for the next time we could go tent camping.
There’s no way I can describe how important that first camping trip was to me. It had an incredible impact on my soul then, and it never went away. I still use my camping tent every month and when I’m not using it I’m thinking about the next time I will, and where I will go. Going tent camping is a great thing for your kids. It will teach them how to work together as a team and how to interact with nature. When you see your child’s reaction when they are out in the great wide open, it will be something you and your children will never forget!
