Camping is great for family bonding. Try a few days in the woods without any electronics for a time that the family learns to communicate and gets to know each other once again.
There is a lot of work to be done to make your camping trip an enjoyable experience. If you do not have a camp stove, you may have to cook over a campfire. Food may taste a bit different than you are used to and it will take longer to cook. When you finish, you will be reminded that there is no dishwasher at your campsite, so you will have to wash all dishes that are not disposable by hand.
The good news is that without electronics, you will have lots of time that you can use for nature walks or to go to see the ranger’s nightly shows. Take time to view all the wildlife as well as flowers that bloom along the path. Be sure that you breathe in all the fresh air you can.
After the dishes have been put away, you can enjoy a family game night with s’mores for a late night treat.
If this sounds like a great time for you, then stop reading this article right now and go make your campsite reservations before they are all gone. Do not waste any more time.
Now that we have cleared out that crowd, here is some more information for the rest of us. If that trip sounds exactly why you have quit camping, listen to this. Many campgrounds have electrical hookups. You will find plenty of power to keep all your favorite electronics charged and to keep the kids happy. If you do not want to cook, you can Mickey D’ a few blocks down the road so that you do not have to worry about paper plates, forks or clean up.
Here is one request however. When that you hear the first group walking by on their nature walk, quickly stash everything in the tent, use a stick to poke at your campfire, smile and wave. They will keep going and you can get back to life.
