I am planning my first ever camping trip for our vacation and I wanted to get some ideas on basic things we may need..also, I would like to know what the best place you've ever camped in the USA. thanks!
One of the best places I've ever been camping was in Washington State. We stayed at a campground right on the beach and the Olympic National Park, near La Push. I think overall Washington State camping parks offer the best opportunity for a camping trip because of the amazing scenery, big evergreen forests, the mighty Pacific surf, huge monolith rock formations right at the beach and spectacular sunsets. Camping basics you need are: - maps of the area - lantern - water & food - cooking stove - hiking boots - layers of clothing
