Campsite

Death Valley “Finally! A campsite” said Gina. “I hope it has supplies that we can use.” We started walking to the campsite in the scorching hot weather I didn’t think we would make it 1½ miles to the campsite. My throat felt like a desert also. While we were walking I saw rattlesnakes and could hear him warning us to get away. We finally got to the campsite 1 ½ miles later. There was lots of water, hats for a little shade and food. We saw a backpack there so we stole it. While I grabbed it it tore some blisters off my fingers. We started gathering lots of water, food and 3 hats. We got out of there as fast as we could so whoever lived there wouldn't find us stealing their stuff. We started eating and drinking like we haven't ate or drank…

towering stone cliffs, formed by glaciation, that rise 1000 feet above the valley floor, and carry on up to the top of Old Goat Mountain which sits 4200 ft above the park. Alta Lake campground is a five minute drive from the small town of Pateros, which is 20 minutes away from Chelan. The drive up to the campsite is breathtaking. As we pass Pateros and turn down the dirt road leading to the lake my heart always thrums with anticipation. Gorgeous homes with impressive architecture line the…

they'll want to do a lot of exploring and swimming. Small meals will keep up their energy and eliminate stomach aches. Plan a menu before you go and have the kids help choose the foods they want. This way you'll save time at the campsite deciding what to make and you can plan how much food will be enough. Keep the meals simple like hamburgers and hot dogs. If you want to avoid bringing a lot of utensils and food, you can always eat out one night at a close-by restaurant. Bring toys and books…

fire pit and the campsite using leave no trace techniques. We then hiked 4-12 miles every day depending on the itinerary. When we arrived at the campsite at the end of the day, we participated in the activities we had signed up for. We would then set up our tents, cook dinner, put all food and smellables in a bear bag and hang it on the tree using a rope, set up a camp fire in the metal ring and end the day around 9:30pm, after a crew meeting to plan for the next day. Day 1: We left Naperville…

crossed this pleasant creek multiple times. What a waste of time! They were forever taking their boots off, wading across the stream and putting them back on. Most of the time mountain streams can be running down hill at a very rapid pace. Secondly, there probably are huge boulders in the creek or river. Boulder hopping is more likely the name of the game, and one needs their boots. Also with a backpack on your back and carrying your boots at the same time is not a safe idea at all. Besides at…

Can we have some money to get our own Camp site?” At Ess-Lake you pay for your campsite when you get there. Barbe Responded “Well sure girls.” So we got to get our own campsite and we started setting up our tent. We had a hard time setting up our tent so her family had to help set it up with us because it was kind of windy. Kaitlyn and me were so exited to have a campsite to our selves. After we got our tent all set up and put all of our stuff inside we wanted to go swimming! I love…

ten person tent. Which, really, is only big for 3 people, they must of thought that tem dwarfs could fit in there, not people. The campsite wasn't really that big, but we didn't have to share anything with other campers. We had our own picnic table, and fire pit, and water and electricity. We even had our own trail in the woods right next to us, leading to a big open field. To add to the list, there was a playground really close to our campsite, but it was for all the campers. The park wasn't…

As me, Gina, and Lenny and arrive at the campsite we start to look around. It was looked like a dumb and smelled like one too. We haven’t had any food or water in a while and were close to death. They only thing on our mind is finding helpful resources. “Mom I think I found something,” Said Gina, “It's a water hose. We might be able to get something to drink today!” “ What? Where? You better not be kidding cause we really need some water.” I replied. “I'm not kidding, come over…

My family loves to go camping in our camper. One summer we all came to a decision that it would be fun to try a new campsite; that we had never gone to before. After looking at different sites that are scattered around Iowa, my dad discovered one in the Des Moines area. When we arrived to the site, the campground was vast with trees surrounding the perimeter. The sound of people conversing filled the atmosphere, the birds sung in a high pitched whistle, and the sound of wind rustled within the…

Plus, a campsite without electricity is just twelve dollars a day (“Rock Creek Recreational Area”). According to U.S. Department of Transportation, the average miles per gallon of a light duty vehicle is twenty-one; according to GasBuddy the average cost of gas in the state of Tennessee is two dollars and nineteen cents per gallon. Therefore, a typical vehicle on an eighty mile round trip will cost only eight dollars and thirty-six cents in gas. Add in the two-dollar park use fee and the whole…
