General chitchat about camping, tricks and maintenance methods

[kelly25]

If you are a camping fan like me then you know camping season is right around the corner In fact if you’re a seasonal camper like me you probably already went to your camp ground to make sure everything is A+

May couldn't get here faster...

We already have sites booked at Killbear and the Pinery. Yeah! Can't wait! I made a list last year of stuff I needed for the trailer and have been scoping out 2nd hand stores all winter.

I also picked up 5 jiffy pops from WM last week. What's camping without Jiffy Pop! If you need campfire snack ideas let me know! It's my favorite part of camping!!

We go through a crazy amount of hotdogs! Seems to be what everyone prefers, even the kids.

We made the switch this year from a tent trailer (2 queen beds, shower and toilet) to a 5^th wheel (8ppl) Looking forward to see if it was worth it..

im just breaking into it! my mil and fil have a 5th wheel and my sil have one too! we are thinking about getting a popup trailer to see if its something we really like. or maybe renting 1 of those 1800gorving type things. any suggestions?

Well, we started off with a tent trailer and used that for the last 3 years. Are you planning on being a traveler or a seasonal camper?

You'll probably be nice and comfy!!

My favorite snack over the campfire is breadsticks! If you buy the refrigerated pillsbury dough (either breadsticks or crescents) and wrap a small amount of the dough around a stick (make sure the dough isn't too thick or it won't cook in the middle) and cook it over the fire like a hotdog. Then dip it in melted butter and then sugar and cinnamon. Soooo yummy!!

We have a pop up trailer that's like 20 years old. We like it, but my dream is one of those smallish hard sided trailer with the tent trailer ends. Like this:

Penguins don't need tents, they can sleep out under the stars!

[kelly25]

Me too! When I go to Killbear I always take my little slugger.

My old tent trailer.. I sold it extremely cheap to a single mom (of 3 kids) who would love to camp but didn’t have much money.

Very nice! I love the toliet. We just have one of those $5 green pottys from Ikea.

It looks in great condition!

[kelly25]

It has a shower too (in front of the toilette) aww lots of good memories
