What’s the difference between a wilderness campsite and a primitive campsite?

My boyfriend and I are going camping for the first time and I just had a few questions…

Are reservations really that necessary?

I’m going camping for 3 days and was wondering how many canisters I need to bring. I only want to bring the minimum as I have to carry everything on my back. I’m probably only going to cook one meal a day and boil one lot of water for tea a day. Will one canister be enough ? The stove I’m using is an old camping gaz stove which uses the blue butane/propane cansiters.

For a class I have to pick some sort of product associated with camping (but not a tent) and improve on it.

The problem is that I am definitely not a camper! I went once for one night! I’m not even sure what kind of things are used!

Could you just let me know your biggest problems when you are camping (rain leaks through the sleeping bag, fire won’t start, going to the bathroom, etc.) so that I have some sort of starting point? Thanks!

Camping on the picturesque Oregon coast can be an exciting or a relaxing vacation for the entire family. Oregon campgrounds offer a wide range of activities, locations, types of campgrounds available, and price ranges. Finding the perfect vacation to meet the needs of your family can be as simple as doing a little research on the Internet. Once you decide what kind of Oregon coast camping vacation you are looking for, finding an Oregon coast camping site is a piece of cake. More and more types of Oregon coast campsites are placing their camping information on the Internet for vacationers to choose from. Search this online information for many variables, from location of the Oregon camping site, to amenities offered, to family-friendly environments.

CHOOSING THE PERFECT OREGON CAMPGROUND

You’ve decided to spend your vacation on the Oregon Coast camping, but where do you start when it comes time to pick the perfect combination of camping needs for your trip? Take a look at your vacation itinerary. Where do plan to spend your time while you are camping in Oregon? Are you planning on four-wheeling along the Dunes National Park? Are you going on a lighthouse tour of the Oregon Coast? Are you attending any activities while you are there, such as festivals, fairs, or concerts? Do you plan to spend your time relaxing on one of the highly acclaimed Oregon Coast golf courses or resorts? Decide what you plan to do, and where you want to spend your time. Then you’re ready to start looking at Oregon Coast campsites. After you’ve decided where you are going to spend the bulk of your time, decide how you want to spend that time. Are you looking for an outdoor vacation near the beach, or something more in the middle of a lush green forest? Do you want to stay in a rustic and basic environment, or are you one of those campers who can’t leave home without the remote control and the hair dryer? Oregon campgrounds can accommodate the needs of almost any type of camper. If you are looking for a back-to-basics type adventure, look at the Oregon campgrounds that offer limit amounts of amenities or traditional-style camping. If you have to travel with a DVD player, perhaps one of the many RV parks along the Oregon coast would better suit your needs. After you decide the type of camping experience you are looking for, consider the costs of each option. How much are you willing to spend for your Oregon camping trip? Quotes for many different types of camping experiences can easily be found online. Be sure to check the availability of your desired campground. Some Oregon campsites are only offered during specific times of the year, or have limited availability and reservation space during certain peak times. If possible, make reservations before you go. This can save you time and potential headaches and help you achieve the perfect vacation.

OREGON STATE CAMPGROUNDS

When camping in Oregon, keep in mind that you have other camping options besides privately run Oregon campsites. Oregon State campgrounds are available every year for a limited amount of vacationers. Most of the time you can make reservations and check the campground availability online from any of the Oregon State Park websites. Camping in Oregon State campgrounds is often less expensive than patronizing any of the privately run campgrounds in Oregon. Oregon State Campgrounds are taken care of by the state of Oregon and are usually kept in immaculate condition. Campsites are clearly marked, easy to find, and well-taken care of. Oregon State has large portions of its land dedicated exclusively as State or National Park grounds. Over three hundred miles of coastland are included in the State and Nationally protected areas. For a more complete listing of the Oregon State Campgrounds and the National Park grounds located in Oregon, initiate a search on the Internet for State and National Park directories. These directories should also provide simple and easy instructions on making reservations.

OREGON BEACH CAMPGROUNDS

In 1967, the state of Oregon dedicated huge amounts of land to the State and National park systems in order to make sure it was preserved for future generations. Because so much of the Oregon Coast in particular is designated as State or Nationally protected land, camping in Oregon offers the unique experience of camping directly on the beach. Not all beaches allow sand camping, so check the listings online of beaches that do allow coastal camping before you make your reservations. Camping on the beach offers you the relaxing experience of falling asleep to the rhythm of the ocean surf. Different types of beach camping are available, ranging from tent camping to cabin camping to RV camping. The costs of beach camping vary depending on the type of camping and the amenities offered. While most of the Oregon coast beaches offer free access to its waterfront, many privately owned and managed Oregon campsites do not offer free camping. Oregon beach campgrounds have limited amounts of space available, so make your reservations early to ensure you get the perfect Oregon campsite.

OREGON COAST RV CAMPING

The Oregon coast is dotted with RV campgrounds. As more people are traveling across the country in RVs, more RV campgrounds are popping up. RV parks can be a little more expensive than traditional tent or cabin style camping, but can make up for the extra cost by offering a multitude of amenities. Before you choose an RV park, decide on what kind of amenities you need to make your Oregon camping experience the very best that it can be. Different types of RV campgrounds in Oregon offer different types of amenities. Some campgrounds may offer options such as water hookups, laundry facilities, convenient parking, boat storage and parking, showers, and many other types of options. Most of the available options can be easily found by searching on the Internet. RV campgrounds in Oregon often fill up pretty quickly, so making reservations well in advance is advisable.

Tent Camping is a wonderful out-of-the-ordinary experience which can be enjoyed by anyone. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages of Tent Camping is the high initial cost of buying camping equipment. Sadly, this hurdle keeps some people from ever even going tent camping. The good news is this does not have to be the case at all. With a little planning and effort, you can buy quality camping equipment at a reduced rate. Here, are some tent camping tips to help reduce your overall camping equipment bill:

1. Know What You Like: Camping equipment is not much different than purchasing any other consumer product. This means you can bargain hunt for clearance items or discounted items just like you would for a designer shirt or other product. To find out what you like, there are really only two ways to determine this:

a. Go to camping stores and try out the products: There are certain brand products that you can test at the store or will be on display. Take some time to review these products and determine what brands you like or what it is about each product that you like.

b. Borrow other people’s camping equipment: This gives you an opportunity to find out what brands you like and will allow you to make some more informed decisions.

c. Ask A Friend: Be sure to ask friends what type of equipment they liked and also what equipment they did not. This will help give you a reference point in making your decision.

d. Use The Internet: There are now a number of chat forums where people discuss certain types of camping equipment they like and what to avoid. Since it is already out there and free, do not be afraid to use it.

2. Discount Shopping: Armed with what you like, go to discount camping stores or shop online at discount camping stores trying to find the brands or products that you really like.

3. Online Coupon Codes: You can search online to find online coupon codes. There are a number of sites that can provide coupons for camping equipment. Here, is a list of some of them:

a. www.dealtaker.com

b. www.ableshopper.com

c. www.couponcraze.com

d. www.couponcabin.com

e. www.mycoupons.com

f. www.retailmenot.com

4. Clearance Sales: Camping equipment has a tendency to go on sale around labor day and there usually is a summer and winter clearance sale as well. A good shopper can delay purchases to around these times to find good deals.

5. Used Camping Equipment: Search for used camping equipment. This can be found in several areas:

a. Bargain hunt at garage sales and estate sales.

b. Shop at army-navy stores for certain items.

c. Look at classified newspaper ads or Craig’s list.

By using these tent camping tips, you should be able to find some quality camping equipment at a reduced rate. Remember after the initial cost of camping equipment is made, the additional upkeep costs of camping are very small.

When compared to other vacation trips, a tent camping trip is by far the most economical. So go ahead get your camping equipment and start planning your trip, I think you will find that you will be glad you did.

I would like to find a camping spot which is secluded or a place where there are little to no humans around. I am looking in the areas of Santa Barbara or Carpenteria. We don’t particularly enjoy crowds of humans. I’ve read some of the websites explaining about the State Parks and it seems they are over loaded with humans.

I know there is a type of camping stove that can burn pretty much anything (vodka, meths, petrol, other fuel). I know it has a pump on it, and on the other side of the reservoir is the filler cap. It looks like a dual fuel stove, but these seem only to be able to burn its two fuels. Am I wrong?
