Is the source of concern for you usually about the cost of a family vacation? In recent months, airlines and train tickets have sky rocketed due to the rise in gasoline prices. Booking a weekend in a hotel for a family of four could cost the equivalent of a week's salary, and that does not include meals. These factors leave many families with a small budget wondering how they can afford to take a family vacation without breaking the bank. The answer may be budget family camping.
To some families, an ideal option is to pack the family car and drive out to a secluded place at the lake or in the woods. In fact, what we all want is to try to get away from the incessant ringing phones, the sound of traffic, and the responsibilities of life now and then. A lot of planning is not required in a budget family camping trip in order for the trip to be a pleasant one. Overnight camping for tent campers are offered by many campgrounds around the country and they range anywhere from $7-25 a night which is far less than the cost of even the most budget priced hotel. The family may choose to camp in their RV or Recreational Vehicle but still, in all but the most exclusive parks, the rates do not exceed $35 per night. Most of the government owned National Parks now have online systems in place for booking camping trips in advance. In almost any state, a family is able to plan their budget family camping trip as much as a year in a advance.
Once the reservations are made the family simply packs their bedding, extra clothes, fishing gear, and their food before heading off for their budget family camping trip for some family togetherness time.
If this is your first time to go camping, then what you need to do is invest in some camping gear which will last for several years. For a family of four, the following gear will be required for your budget family camping trip. A good size cooler to keep food and drinks cold Disposable cups, plates and silverware For each family member, quality sleeping bags around $40-60 per person Tarps (around $8-10) for ground cover under the tent to keep out moisture Battery powered lantern, extra batteries (less messy) Family tent that costs about $80-170 and it should be bigger than what you think you need Don't forget your basic game gear such as balls, dominoes, cards, bikes, and horseshoes. Fishing tackle box, bait, fishing poles, (optional).
When you purchase the gear for the first trip, you will then have the things you will need for each additional budget family camping trip. It is likely that you will keep adding items as you continue camping. For many campers, getting away at least once or twice a year with the family is somewhat addicting.
