Welcome to the world of camping! If you're new to this activity, fear not, as it's a great way to spend time outdoors and connect with nature. Here's a quick guide to help you get started.
The basic equipment you'll need for camping is a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and a camp stove. You'll also want to bring a cooler to keep your food and drinks cold, as well as a first aid kit, insect repellent, and sunscreen. Make sure you have proper clothing and footwear for the weather and terrain, and a flashlight or headlamp with extra batteries is always handy.
Here are some tips to make your camping experience more enjoyable:
Though there are many great campgrounds all around the US, we find ourselves going back to a few Over and Over. And our #1 favorite campground in NJ is called The Great Divide Campground. The GDC is found in Newton, NJ, which is in beautiful Sussex County. We want to mention them because of how great they are on every level. From the beautiful location (see the photo above), to open/clean lots, and great amenities, TGDC is a great choice to any camping getaway!
Camping can be a fun and rewarding experience for all ages. Get outside, explore new places, and make memories that will last a lifetime!
