The summer months are fast approaching, and the excitement of new adventures and outdoor experiences are on the horizon (地平线). Now is the time to start booking locations for camping and van sites. But where to go? Which one to choose? Here are some useful tips for you.
Choosing the best campground location
Everyone has different needs when it comes to booking an ideal spot for spending time outdoors. Contact the campground directly and well in advance and ask what campsites and areas tend to be the best fit for what you’re looking for, such as family-friendly, older crowds or quieter grounds. For a less crowded experience, book your stay during the week instead of the weekend. Some of the most popular destinations for camping in America include the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which boasts (拥有) wildflowers, hiking and a scenic 11-mile ring road that can be walked or cycled; Yosemite National Park is one of the most popular places to put up a tent, with 13 campgrounds to choose from, including camping with an RV; the Mojave and the Colorado desert meet at Joshua Tree National Park, an ideal spot to park an RV.
Where to set up a tent
Location! This is vital when considering where you will be setting up shop, especially when it comes to a good night’s rest. Find a flat and dry campsite and build the tent on higher ground in case it rains so it won’t get flooded. Look for natural elements to help keep you warm. Trees and large rocks will keep the wind out and the warmth in. Be aware that the campsite should be close to things such as toilets, water, roads and playgrounds.
