Andie Shae

I am going to go camping for my birthday. I want some ideas on where to go. It has to be a first come first serve. If you could just name a place, tell me a little bit about it, and where its located that would be great. Thanks(:

This summer my friends and I want to camp somewhere on the Oregon coast. What are two of the best campsites that offer privacy from other campers, tent sites, showers, and lots of scenery and fun stuff to do or see? Tell me why you like the campgrounds you picked, please.

Thank you!

Fort Stevens is the most familiar one, and i've been there myself and it was great!!

What's the best way t keep the inside of our tent from getting wet?

waterproof family camping tents image

ErinJean

Ya know.... in the morning????

We're going camping this weekend with the WHOLE family, just like we do every year, but this time we are bringing our 7 month old son.

We live in Washington... and our weather's been especially bad this year. But hopefully it'll be nice this weekend.
Anyway. I guess a lot of what gets into the tent is condensation, but is there any way to keep it dryer?

Oh... AND we're the only ones in our family using a tent.. everyone else has a camper. :(

Answer
If the problem is mostly condensation, the the ventilation is not adequate. If it isn't raining, open up the window flaps more so that the humid air can escape. Make sure the top vents are not obstructed, if there are any.

Much of the humidity occurs simply from your breathing.

As for rain, standard waterproofing methods.

Are there any tents that come waterproof,with rain fly,and that include a footprint?

If so, where can you buy them. I was looking at a set. It is called. Columbia Peak Expedition Camp Set. It is great because it includes everything you need. More companies should do this. How do you know what type of footprint to buy?

Answer
many tents are available that come waterproof with rain fly.
Most tents that have footprints available have them as a separate option. You can always cut a footprint from 6 mil plastic
Of the tents at REI, the only family type tent I saw that had a footprint available was a Big Agnes
most of your backpacking tents have them available for added cost
