Giving the Family Some Space
Every year in late August, my kids go back to school. The last few weeks of the month mark the best chance I have to bond with my family because are schedules conflict so much. I work nights, so dinnertime is really the only chance I get to see them on a regular basis. That’s why I take two weeks off each year and take my wife and kids for a camping excursion in the Great Smoky Mountains.
We’ve learned from experience that after a few nights in the woods we all need our space. Cabin tents are large enough to accommodate six people while still leaving room to breathe. Our cabin tent even features a removable “wall” that separates the interior into two rooms. That way my wife and I can remain separate from the kids, who like to stay up later anyway.
Planning A Family Camping Trip
With spring here and summer fast approaching, now is the time to begin planning family camping trips for warmer weather. Planning in advance can save a lot of time and hardship, and allows reservations to be made at the most popular campsites. It’s also a good idea to stock up on camping equipment for the trip. But with thousands of different items, most of which aren’t essential for camping, it can be a little difficult to know what to choose.
It’s best to cover the most basic amenities first, like shelter. For a family camping trip, a cabin tent will work the best. Most cabin tents can provide shelter for 6-8 people, and these tents also tend to have different rooms that can provide separation for parents, children, and friends. Food and supplies can be covered closer to the date of the actual camping trip, but entertainment is another important part of camping. Consider sports equipment, fishing tackle, even board games. The options are limitless, and remember, the most important part of camping is fun!
