Scorpion Sneak-Attack
I’d just settled in for the night and was about to close my book, turn off my flashlight and pull the sleeping bag over my head, when I spotted movement in the corner of my tent. I’d thought I’d been alone, but apparently at some point during the ... -
Campfire Gourmet: Adding Spice to Traditional Camping Meals
Some of the most improvised and delicious meals come to life away from a conventional kitchen and over a hot campfire. Spending a weekend in nature does not necessarily mean surviving off of nuts and berries, although that option is always available. Whether ... -
Camping with Kids
I was six years old and the rain fell hard. The river flooded and our tent held more water in than out. Some non-essential gear floated away but all the kids, luckily, remained. This was not the family trip my parents planned but it was certainly one we’d ... -
Camping on the Klamath

Adventurous travelers that enjoy the great outdoors yet lack a fondness for bugs, leaking tents and smelly sleeping bags may find glamorous camping, also known as glamping, the answer to their fears. Although a relatively new alternative to traditional ... -
Tired of the City? Tailgate in the Woods!
The city life is sweet, but everyone goes a little mad sometimes, and when you do its best to get the heck out of town. One way to do this without too much planning and/or dropping too much dough is to go camping. There are campsites all around the NY metro ... -
Setting Up Camp at Bisco 8
The fest wouldn't be named 'Camp Bisco' if it didn't mean putting some elbow grease and grime into your stay. Even though it's called Indian Lookout Country Club, don't let the name fool you. This is no ritzy stay. So, pack up an oversized duffle, grab a ...
