Good camping place in mw3?

Q.

Answer
In Sea Town (by "A" in Domination) there Are two boats by the bottom of the spiral stairs with some folliage. Lay down between the boats. It's pretty nice. People will run right by you.

True/False: You've camped in an online match/game before?

Q. what game xp

Answer
True.

I don't do it a lot, but damn I get a lot of hate messages on XBL when playing mw3. Not all of them for camping, but the majority certainly is.

It's funny.

Some people just can't stand losing, and will throw whatever "insults" they can to justify why they lost.

If you're the sort of person who sprints round a corner in life & death situation, then surely in a game as tactical as this you deserve to be shot in the face by the person who predicted you were going to sprint round the corner.

More fool you for sprinting towards that corner after you spawn, hell bent on revenge, only to find the guy has pre-empted you again and is waiting for you somewhere else.

So to all of you out there who hate me because you managed feed me a match-winning killstreak. When you say you hate me because I'm a camper, you're really just saying you hate me because a) you're predictable, b) I clearly employ better tactics and c) you got beat, plain and simple.

Now I must stress this part, some people seem to think of camping as cheating, that's ridiculous. If someone is going to hide in some obscure place and snipe every person that say, pops their head up at a doorway, then that person is being even MORE predictable than the people he is killing, and therefore should be pretty damn easy to kill, stop complaining and go kill him.

Regularly I will get kills that are pegged "camping" but really I'm just playing smart. Say for instance I hear footsteps coming towards a doorway, I COULD pop my head out the door and hope my gun is pointing at the guy, but I could easily be off by 90 degrees giving him plenty time to shoot me as no doubt he's looking straight at the doorway he's walking towards. The smart thing to do is to just wait that 3 seconds for him to come in and pop him in the side of the head. Don't hate me because I was camping, hate me because I have surround sound, and you don't have the silent footstep perk.

Another classic is when my (dumbass) team decide they're all going to go one way round the map, leaving themselves in a prime formation for someone sneaky to come up behind them and take them all out. Me being a team player, and playing to win, I'll cover their flank, if they're all powering forward making a lot of noise, no doubt showing up on the map as having a big circle-jerk party, more than one guy on the opposite team is going to do a lap of the map and come from a certain direction to try and fuck them. I spot these situations and wait on these guys coming. Then we win.

I don't think I've ever sat in one place for very long - either a) you're not getting any action, so it's time to go on the hunt - or b) you've had some action, so the LAST thing you want to do, is be predictable and stay where you are

I haven't really ever been stressed out by a camper, if its the kind who stays in one place sniping, they'll maybe get 3 kills on me max, before I fuck them up, then usually you can kill them several more times as they attempt to work their way back to their camping spot.

If it's the kind that does the same thing as me, I enjoy the challenge, the SPRINT>SHOOT>SPRINT>SHOOT>SPRINT>SHOOT laps of the map some people do bores the hell out of me, having a little game of cat & mouse with someone is way more fun, and more rewarding.

On some occasions you'll simply be outgunned though. And the angrier you get at this person BEATING YOU, the easier you make it for them to beat you even more, if you can't take them on, stop feeding them kills and killstreaks, and just leave them the hell alone - and advise your team do the same. He'll get bored and come out of his hole eventually.

Where are some good campsites near Toronto, Canada?

volcomflip

I was wondering if anyone knows a few good places to camp around Toronto? The thing is that I'll be up there Oct. 10 - 15 and a lot of the camp grounds that I saw were closed in October.

Answer
The "camping season " in Ontario is just about over by that time , due to the weather getting colder at night. You use the term "up there " so I will assume that you are from the USA ?

By that time it will be getting down to the freezing point, over night, and it starts to rain more often, so I'd really re-consider the idea of sleeping out in a tent. Try a motel, instead.

Provincial campgrounds ( think State Park ) close from September to April, and most private operations do too.

Know some good crown land for camping north of toronto?

Feelin' Go

I'm looking to go camping and not have to pay, be pretty secluded and interesting. preferably north of toronto,

we dont have a canoe!

Answer
the Wilcox Conservation area used to be a good place to camp and it used to be FREE but you will have to leave your car at the gate because it is usually locked. It is near Orangeville on the 19th line as I remember. I haven't been there in about 10 years or so. There used to be a pump water source at the end of the trail but that was a while ago.

UAE labour law provisions?

Manju

Dear Friends,

I am a senior engineer working for a firm in U A E. I am in probation now. I am yet to do medical test and my Visa is to be stamped after that.
The company has not provided me a single accommodation as agreed in employment offer. I am put up in a labour camp in separate room but the camp is filthy and unhygienic. I also learned that there is default in salary payment (irregular payment) by company.
My doubts or your valuable guidance are
1)Under these condition can i ask for not processing my Visa?.
2) Can i leave the job to my native place without a ban?
3)Is there any payment to be made to the employer in my case?
4) The company insists to include in Contract ( yet to be signed) to repay a huge amount if i break the contract before its period though it was not mentioned in employment offer
Please help

Answer
You asked the same question just a week ago. Well, I do not mind to repeat myself:
Before you terminate your contract, you have to file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour. If found that your company is violating the Labour Law (by not paying salaries on time) and not providing you with benefits regarding your contract, you can apply at MoL that you will be allowed to terminate without giving a 30 days notice and that you do not need to obtain a NoC to avoid a ban.

Did you get in contact with MoL by now?
1. what visa you are working on?
2. no, unless you have MoL involved and apply for an exemption.
3. No, at least not any visa related costs.
4. just refuse to sign the contract.

To make a long story short: Have MoL involved to assit you and to avoid a ban. You do not have to pay anything unless you signed anything regarding compensation.

Good luck!

edit emhawda: I know you are working in the legal field, but things in the UAE a bit different. The main problem is the working ban automatically imposed by MoL when a visa gets canceled.

Texas History question...?

Sparkle Gu

What was Father Damian's contribution to the missions in Texas?
What did he want to seek out and remove?

I need a BRIEF answer to these questions. thanks! :)

Answer
Damián Massanet, founder of the first Spanish mission in East Texas, was born in Spain, most likely in Majorca. Information concerning his place of birth, family, and early life is not available. After ordination, Massanet was among twenty-four Franciscan priests who crossed the Atlantic in 1683 to help found the missionary College of Santa Cruz de Querétaro. By the late 1680s he had moved to the mining and cattle frontier of northern New Spain. Between Monclova and a mining camp known as Boca de Leones, Massanet had set up Mission San Bernardino de la Caldera near the border of Nuevo León. In 1689 he accompanied Gov. Alonso De León in the successful search for René Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle's Fort St. Louis, and the next year he assisted in the establishment of San Francisco de los Tejas mission. Massanet, although placed in charge of missionary work in East Texas, did not remain there. He differed with De León over the size of the military guard left at Mission San Francisco, and from Mexico filed a report that was critical of the veteran commander. Massanet returned to East Texas with Domingo Terán de los Ríos in 1691, and he quarreled once again with civil authority. In this instance, Massanet refused to release horses from San Francisco de los Tejas Mission that were needed by Governor Terán for the return trip to Mexico, and the animals had to be commandeered. Difficulties with the Tejas Indians as well as problems with floods, failed crops, and shortages of necessary supplies, doomed the first missions in East Texas. On October 25, 1693, Massanet and the surviving priests set fire to the remaining mission, San Francisco de los Tejas, and left for Coahuila. The small party lost its bearings for several weeks and did not reach Monclova until February 17, 1694. At that juncture, the viceroy of New Spain requested that Father Massanet suggest additional mission sites to be developed in northern Coahuila, but the padre declined-arguing that he had recommended sites on other occasions, only to see that without necessary supplies and governmental support such plans were futile. Massanet, along with the other missionaries from East Texas, returned to his missionary college in Querétaro, and it seems probable that he spent his remaining years at the College of Santa Cruz.

Go look in east Texas. Depends on how small a town you want but in Huntsville they have stores and restaurants and a fine university (and prisons).

Advise on buying a tent?

AriesAlway

I know theres not too much of Summer left, We're in Northeast Ohio. We did out first family camping trip the other week, and cant wait for more. We used my sisters tent and supplies basicly. Should we continue useing hers, which isnt a problem. Tent could be bigger but we manage. Our should we buy on now, or next year. I like the tents with a screen patio and found on in the Kmart flyer. What do you all think?
http://kmart.shoplocal.com/kmart/Default.aspx?action=browsepagedetail&storeid=2422215&rapid=430829&listingid=-2092975161&pretailerid=-99572
Is that a good tent, brand?
We have two kids so the large tent that can have a wall like this is perfect I thought.
Thanxs!

Answer
I checked out this tent through your link. I would purchase this tent at that price. Looks to be a good starter tent. Even if you decide you don't like it you have not invested to much. Also note that for summer camping you can piece together a great set in relatively short time buying a cooler, propane or kerosene style lanterns, stove, chairs and sleeping bags say every other payday. I would not trust this tent to sleep more than 4 though. After years of camping through 3 seasons I have found that an air mattresses gives me much better sleep at nights and it uses more space as well. You can pay a fortune for a great tent, but to get started this looks fine. Have fun with it.

we're looking for a place that is for the most part "real" camping, like lots of nature but with tiolets and possibly an electrical hookup. swimming, canoe rentals would be awesome. but as private as possible, and of course an ok price.

we REEEEALLY DONT want a rec hall, playground, pavement, ect. not really looking for a family campground.

i read alot of reviews about campsites being really strict like not letting you bring alcohol even if youre of age, & checking up on what youre doing alot...i hate the idea of that, id really like to have as much of my privacy as i can.

does anyone know of any good places like that???

White Mountains State Camp Site.

Living ina tent or makeshift shack?

Q. Is it legal to live in a makeshift tent and make fires to cook food and for heat, and keep a gun on you for protection against animals? I have no money so I can't move anywhere, I have been out of work for years, and can't get any shelter or help. I get $400 a month so that can buy food and water and the things I can use to live outside. I'm tired of how I always have to stay with the most annoying family members and because I'm with them I don't get too much help. Living ina state with 12%-15% unemployment (literally. I live in a state where healthcare is the main industry. only the doctors, nurses, lawyers, politicians, policemen, firemen, managers, and soldiers can have jobs. No one else can find employment so I'll have to go down south where all the jobs are. The jobs in my state are mostly public, and there are almost no private employers in my state, unless you're a medical professional or the managerial type with long employment history)

So would it be legal to live outside, carry a gun for animal protection, and make fires for heat and cooking? I can bring a cheap metal cooker for wood to contain the fire. The only problem is finding a safe place to put it.
if i can get down south i'll cheap affordable apartment room, easily locate employment because they have a lot of employment opportunity (and lower unemployment ratings which make jobs easier). The South actually has jobs unlike Rhode Island! Look up Rhode Island and see just how much corruption, lack of jobs there are! The businesses usually leave RI. Also, most young people like myself leave as fast as they can! Children and the number of young adults has been decreasing! Rhode Island would have lost population according to the US 2010 Census except all the Hispanics were moving to Rhode Island bringing up the population. Horrible state and I don't know why anyone looking for opportunity would move here. I want to move but lack of money....

Answer
Living in a tent, making fires for cooking and food is very possible. The issue at hand is WHERE you do it and for how LONG. You need to find a national forest but unfortunately there are none in Rhode Island, maybe head west to New Hampshire or elsewhere? Rhode Island is even very short on state parks that would fit the bill. I mentioned National Parks as the last time I was familiar you can primitive camp in one spot sometimes for a few weeks at a time. When that time expires you just move to another site and the clock starts over again.

As for carrying a gun to protect you from wildlife; you don't need one. If you've spent any length of time in the backcountry of the Eastern USA you'll know that it just isn't necessary so long as you take precautions like hanging your food at night.

Good luck.

Hi, where is the most kid friendly place to go camping with kids near New York?

I.G.

I've heard of Yogi Bear camping grounds. Anyone else have ideas? Thanks
Wow Trish, thanks so much for your time and for making me really think of the reason why I want to take the kids.

I've never gone before and I just wanted to rent a nice cabin for the little kids (their 6 and 8) so we can experience the woods and being indoors playing board games in the winter. Lol, do I sound like a novice or what. I envision opening our cabin door and having a view of the lake (unfortunately it's too cold for swimming now), me making hot chocolate while we play games and read stories and take them to the camp activities for kids. Sound too unplanned? =)
Here's your 10 pts!! LOL,

Thanks so much for your incredibly awesome answer!!!!!!!!!!

Answer
Some of it will depend on what you want to do. The "Camp Jellystone" chain will offer lots of things to do that don't necessarily have anything to do with camping, like miniature golf, playground equipment, beach volleyball court, etc. A state park might offer more nature-oriented opportunities, like fishing in a real lake or river instead of a stocked pond, hiking on wooded trails where they might actually spot a deer if they walk quietly enough, and so on, but is less likely to have flush toilets or shower facilities.

Also, are you taking an RV, or are you tent camping? If an RV, how important is it to you to have hook-ups for power, water, and sewage? A lot of commercial campgrounds will offer these, while many parks are more primitive and may have no more than a dump station.

Think carefully about what you and the kids really want to get out of this camping trip. Are you "camping" because that's a relatively cheap way of enjoying a destination without a hotel bill, or are you camping for its own sake, to experience a simplified lifestyle out in the wild? Or would you like a little of each, with not too much of either?

If you can add more details well before your question expires, we can probably help you find something just right.

EDITED IN LIGHT OF ADDITIONAL DETAILS:
Sounds like the advice you got was good! Yogi Bear's campground is about a hundred miles from New York City, and they have cabins of various sizes, with lots to do. (There's more to do in the summer, but it sounds like the kids will have fun this time of year, too, especially if you do bring some board games and a deck of cards.)

Here's a link to the page that talks about the cabins:
http://www.nyjellystone.com/docs/rental-units.htm?source=g_cabins_2

If you're planning to go near the holidays, I'd suggest making reservations right away, because I'm sure they fill up fast.

Have a good time!

EDITED TO ADD:
Don't forget my 10 points! :)

What makes these brands of camping gear worth the price?

Q. I've been to REI and other sporting good stores in search for camping gear in particularly tents. I see brands like Kelty, North Face, and Eureka and have seen their tents and to be honest, I don't see the reason for such a high price for these tents. Some are as much as $500 and I just don't get it. Some say it's the quality but I've been camping for over 20 years and my Coleman tent has held up in pretty harsh weather including heavy rain stroms and even snow and my coleman cost me about $100. I even have a Ozark Trail tent that has held up and never leaked. So what's the rationalation for such high prices? I don't get it. I have friends who say the quality is better yet they always seem to buying new tents every year and I've had my Coleman and Ozark for almost 8 years now and I camp about four to five times a year so they get used. s the quality that much better?

Answer
Agreed that the weight factor is a primary point. Any Coleman will weight more than any REI tent, in tent for tent comparison. Quality is also an Important issue, yes I can find a $40 dollar tent that weighs almost the same as a $400 tent but zippers fail, material fails, seams leak and who are you gonna call and complain to. REI stands by what they sell as does Coleman and they have a proven record in review products. Also look at what are professional guides using, here they want happy campers to return and use their services. If they were to put them in a tent that leaks, rips and falls down in a squall, that camper won't be back so again. You really do pay for what you get. If your buddies are buying new gear every year they are probably very hard on their gear and don't take good care of it. I have Coleman products and REI products that I have had for well over 10 years and all have served me well only because I take good care of them.

I agree with you that in some common tent designs like a simple dome or family cabin tent prices are ridiculously high for a name brand. Then you should consider dollar for dollar on it's guarantees and performance. In a family sized cabin tent used in car camping a Coleman tent will out perform anything out there at around $200 for their best tent. In a REI family tent double or even triple the price and you get less tent as well.

WaterPROOF tent for camping on ocean beach?

Bonghuffer

Does coleman or any more respected tent makers offer an already waterproofed tent to withstand multi-hour downpours?

I'm sure that Coleman is like the Huffy/Murray of camping gear, so any camping pros out there please let me know whom for to be looking.
Already got reservations, thanks. Had a great old tent heirloomed, lent it to a friend who lent it to a friend... Now we realize that we need a new one and dropping a half thousand on one that we plan on using twice a year is tough right now. The coleman that she got has a way-too-small fly and seems as waterproof as my tee shirts. She's returning it as soon as it dries out. How are Eureka brand tents? Worth buying, seam-sealing and fly-sealing?

Answer
There is no tent that is completely "waterproof". Coleman is a leader in family camping tent gear and their products are treated and seams factory sealed for weather protection so they have a "weather protection guarantee" but that is vague at best. Any tent for it to have good resistance to the weather must be set up correctly and all seams sealed and the material rated or coated with water resistance material. I find that higher end tents have better designs for weather protection and dome style tents the best overall design. Again Coleman meets that need. Here is an article to help you choose a quality tent,
http://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/family-base-camping-tent.html

Now you stated you are interested in beach camping. First if you don't have reservations now forget it all beach camping in the state of california is by reservation only 6 months in advance. Next beaches are naturally humid and tents are always damp inside and out in any weather situation specially at night . To help with that you need a tent with very good ventilation. Again Coleman tents meet that need.

@Eureka is no different than Coleman except for tent designs they use the same comparable materials and methods of construction or weather proofing, it's comparing apples to oranges

How to choose a camping tent?

Adela

I am planing my first camping trip. I want to know how to choose a suitable camping tent. I will go camping with my family. There are four of us altogether.

Answer
I go camping a lot, often with a group, and see most people using tents that are far too large and difficult to setup for their needs. They get a huge cabin tent for eight or more people, tall enough to stand upright and walk around, and then only put 4 people inside.

When they get to camp it takes 2 people almost an hour to get the tent set-up and all their gear arranged inside. Once this is done they spend all their awake time on outdoors activities or sitting around the campfire, and just go inside to sleep. All that space, time and effort is wasted, because you're never inside a tent unless you're ready to sleep. Even if its raining or snowing, I'd rather be outside with my family or friends under a tarp or ez-up gazebo so I can see the outdoors than stare at the blank walls inside a tent.

I prefer to take the smallest size tent I can comfortably use. There's enough room for the appropriate number of sleeping bags with a little space leftover to stack our bags. Headspace isn't a concern, I don't need to pace circles inside my tent. As long as I can sit-up on the ground without hitting my head on the ceiling I'm good.

So priorities for me are a) Weather resistance, including wind and rain; b) ventilation, to avoid a build-up of humidity that leads to condensation and for cooling on hot nights; c) adequate floor space for sleeping bags and minimal gear, with the rest stowed in the vehicle; d) easy setup and pack-up. I prefer a tent with a full rain fly for weather protection and a vestibule to stow muddy boots outside but under shelter.

Determining adequate floor space can be a challenge. Most manufacturers allow 24x78" of floor space per person, which I feel is inadequate. I prefer to use 30"x80" per person, plus allow for one additional person's worth of space for minimal gear storage. By this measure a 10'x9' tent (120"x108") allows four people to sleep side-by-side with enough space at the head of each sleeping space for a bag containing clean clothing and toiletries. According to most manufacturer's specifications, this would indicate a 6-person tent would be the best selection.

On the lower-price end of the scale, the Coleman Sundome 6 fits the bill, though I'm not much impressed with the rain fly and lack of vestibules. But its hard to find fault with its $99 price tag, as long as you're not expecting bad weather.

The Coleman Instant-Tent 6 is a popular model because of it's quick and easy setup. This cabin tent also provides stand-up interior height. Unfortunately it has no rain fly whatsoever, so one would need to bring an extra tarp for rain protection if bad weather was forecast. And, of course, with no rain fly it also has no vestibule. The Instant-Tent 6 can also be a packing nightmare with its 48" long packed size, so make sure it will fit into your vehicle.

The Kelty Buttress 6 looks to me to be the perfect tent, with adequate floor space, a good fly and vestibule setup and reasonable price. If I was going to buy a tent today to sleep a family of 4, this would likely be my top choice.

If money is no object and you want the ultimate family tent that is still weather proof, easy to setup and reasonably compact to pack, look at the REI Kingdom 6 with the optional Connect Tech Vestibule or Garage. But be prepared to spend over $500 on the complete setup.

cheap and quality family tent?

my family wanna go camping in several days in Georgia National Park,we need a camping tent and some cooking supplies.pls kindly recommend cheap and quality ones.thx 4 ur kindness.

Answer
As long as the weather is fair you can make almost any tent work for you. The Coleman Instant Tent 6 or 8 person models are preferred by many because they are easy to set-up and take down, but run in the $150-200 range. The Coleman Sundome Chris recommends is a good, low-priced tent, but is not as spacious or easy to setup as the Instant Tent, thought it would probably do better in the rain. Choose the one that makes the most sense based on your family size, allowing extra capacity so you can keep your clothing inside without being cramped.

You can use blankets from home or buy sleeping bags to make your bed. If choosing sleeping bags, pick a model that is rated at least 20*F lower than the coldest temperature you expect to encounter. You can always unzip the bag if it gets too warm, or sleep on top. Again, Coleman makes some decent fair-weather sleeping bags, also look at Kelty and Slumberjack. Expect to pay $50 and up for a decent sleeping bag, typically the more money you spend the smaller the bag will be when packed away.

Whether you use blankets or a sleeping bag you will want to have some padding underneath you. Some use cots, which cost around $100 each. Some are ok with foam pads, costing from $8 to $50. Then there's self-inflating mattresses, $50-150, which use expandable foam and air for padding and insulation. Finally you can use regular blow-up air mattresses, which range from $20 to over $100 and are available in single, double, queen and king sizes. In colder weather, foam and self-inflating mattresses are the best choice, as cots and air mattresses provide no insulation value.

In terms of cooking, a two-burner Coleman propane stove costs around $50, and disposable 16oz propane canisters cost between $2.50 and $3.50, each will last about 2 days. You can bring pots, pans and cooking utensils from home. You might need to bring one or two folding tables (1 to cook at, the other to eat at, about $45 each) and folding chairs ($15 to 75 each, depending on model). And a battery-operated lantern ($40-75). Use disposable plates, bowls and eating utensils to save money and time cleaning. You will also need coolers to keep your food and beverages cold. The Coleman Xtreme coolers are the best available for the money, and I recommend you get two: one for food and the other for beverages.

Don't forget some trash bags, napkins, paper towels, dish soap and hand soap. And a collapsible trash can is convenient. Also, a first aid kit is a good idea.

All this stuff is available at most WalMart stores.

best camping sites near los angeles?

kitty

i just want to know the best camping sites near los angeles for the summer and to have a great time with friends

Answer
Hi Wendy, the "Best" sites are booked 6 months in advance in the so cal area. All your beach campgrounds from Monterrey south to the mexican border, all your lake, river destinations that are reservable go so fast that you need to plan now for next summers fun. Now there are first served campsites in the national forests around the south land and if you leave by thursday night it's possible to find the spot your looking for. Also some KOA type campgrounds may have spots open too.

to give you some of my favorite reservable sites are,
Serrano Campground @ big bear lake
Silverwood lake near Crestlline Ca.
Hemet lake near Idylwild Ca.
Hobo Campground the Kern river
Malibu Creek State park.

For some first served sites
South Fork Santa ana River campground near Angelous Oaks ca.
Applewhite in Lytle Creek Ca.
Lake in Wrightwood Ca.

Anyway here are a few links with local camping info

Good camping site in Los Angeles?

FlowerPowe

Any good camping sites? I'm willing to drive up ~300 miles to a good one. I've been to Big Bear and it was pretty but I would like to know other nice ones.
Or do you have a site where I can book? I use one website to book but I forgot what it was, it's been over a year since I last booked.

Answer
The site you want is reserveamerica.com, or www.recreation.gov.

Big Bear is OK, but once you've been to Yosemite (just under 300 miles), you may never be satisfied anywhere else.

Carpinteria State Beach
Yosemite National Park

what are the best places to camp in Ontario Canada?

Emma Tucke

My boyfriend and I are hoping to go camping on a vacation to Canada. What are the best campgrounds and what are their rates. If you have links to websites for them that would be great as well.

Also what is the drinking age there? I overheard someone saying that if you are an american you must abide by the american laws.

Answer
Any of the multitude of provincial parks offer good camping. Pick the place you want to visit and then find a park nearby. Campsites run about $14 to $40 per night depending on what facilities there are in the park or your campsite. For instance electricity or access to showers will be more expensive than one that has no perks at all. Each park has a variety of different priced campsites. Some are just canoeing campsites and others have most of the comforts of home.

If you intend to drink you can't do it at a provincial campsite. They have a strict no alcohol policy, no loud noise too so leave the misic at home or bring headphones.

If you leave the park to drink you must be 19 in Ontario. In other provinces it is either 18 or 19. Your laws mean nothing in Canada. In Canada you follow our laws and drinking and driving will get you in a lot of trouble so don't do it.

Anyone Know a Good Camping Place in Southern Ontario?

J-Craze

Thinking of going camping in Ontario but would like a nice spot since its our first time. Like a place near a lake. Anyone been to any good ones?

Answer
The Pinery near Grand Bend is AWESOME. Right on Lake Huron . . . sandy beaches, warm water, and BEAUTIFUL SUNSETS !!! The City of Grand Bend is about 10 minutes north of the campground. That's a neat little town (operative word being "Little"). Quite a few pubs, go carts for kids, put put, restaurants, very fun town . . . in case you need to get away from the tent for a bit. Have a blast !!!
