Try A Camping Vacation
By Theresa Beller
Do you want to take a family vacation but money is tight?  Why not take a vacation?  Not only is great fun in and of itself, but it can be a more economical way to get the family away this summer.
 
A nice trip into the woods or to the lake is a great way to escape the pressures of life and take a break.  Don’t worry about boredom setting in.  There are numerous ways to entertain ourselves in nature.  Hiking, trekking, climbing or rock rappelling are just the beginning.  Kids and adults can all have a great time swimming, fishing and boating at a nice lake or river.  Add some adventure to your trip with whitewater rafting, kayaking, mountain biking or parasailing.  Gathering the family around a cozy campfire is a great way to end the day and can help bring you all closer.

it as part of a bigger, but more economical vacation.  There are countless numbers of campgrounds across the country with many located near vacation hot spots.  For those who like a seaside vacation, many camps are often situated near coastal beaches.  You can find encampments near cave sites, ski resorts and spas.  Of course, campgrounds are also to be found near amusement parks and shopping hubs.  By choosing to camp as a part of your vacation you can save big bucks on lodging.  You can save even more money by avoiding pricy restaurants and doing some camp cooking as well.  An added bonus for those vacationing with children is the freedom to “let the kids go a little” rather than having to keep them quiet in a lavish hotel.  
 
Camping vacations are an excellent alternative to higher priced trips.  You can go ahead and plan a great get away on a tight budget by choosing to camp rather than using lodging accommodations.  Whether you plan your entire retreat around camping, or simply include it as part of a bigger trip, can be a positive experience for your family’s vacation.
