Camping In The Rough

Every summer thousands of us pack up our RVs or the trailer and head off to the campground. Once there, you back into your designated spot, plug in your electrical power source. The whole scenario seems to defeat the purpose in my opinion, but to each their own.

If you want to feel true exhilaration of camping and see some of the many wonders nature has to offer, I suggest you try camping in the rough. However, It is a good idea to be familiar with the area to avoid potentially getting lost, and always let someone know your destination and expected time of return.

I enjoy a route along a waterway where a canoe or kayak can be used. Extra supplies can be stored in the camper to make for a pretty good time. All you will need is a few essentials and you will be set for a weekend of relaxation and solitude. I suggest a small pup tent with an extra tarp in case of rain for shelter, or on a mild summer night just a sleeping bag will suffice.

I always take along my fishing pole in case I want to include trout for a meal. Make sure you have a frying pan and a pot to boil water. It's easy to prepare a lot of foods brought from home over a campfire. I know that camping this way is not for everyone! Camping in the rough entails a person take only what is needed for a two- or three-day journey. The only piece of modern day equipment worth taking would be a camera.

If camping in the rough seems like an idealistic approach to enjoying nature, why not give it a try?. There are no traffic jams or other motorists to be wary of, no noise. It just may be the first of many great camping trips for you.
