I’m specifically concerned about smoke from grills and gases from stoves. Thanks so much

You can cook on propane stoves, and have almost no fumes. When you sit around the fire, sit upwind. I love wilderness camping in N. Canada. Up there, hardly anybody has trouble with any allergies. Setting tents up 50′ upwind from fire and cooking area cuts down smoke and fumes to almost zero.

ugh! I hate camping and every year our school makes the class go on a "bonding trip" in the "great outdoors…gag. Are there any tents out there that aren’t actually tents? haha…well, are there any luxury tents or anything that keeps me off the grass…and actually protected from the weather?

When tent camping, I think an air mattress makes all the difference in the world. Buy a nice one that has a built in pump so it will automatically inflate and deflate. Bring a cozy blanket and a pillow and you’ll be all set.
Much cheaper than a new tent.
Have fun!

I live just outside buffalo and I’m looking for a good place to camp with my new tent in the summer. I need to know a place or a website that names places to go.

If you are looking for a really great place that is truly secluded, then try Indian Lake in Adirondack Mountains. You can take a boat out to an island, and camp there. You can rent boats if you don’t have one. The mountains are beautiful, the lake is good for fishing, swimming and other activities. It is secluded and you don’t have lines or RV’s. Best in July and August.

BF and i going camping for our anniversary. We’ve decided on Lake Tahoe, but are unsure of what campground is the best with good lake views and a quick walk to the shore. We will be tent camping. And also if you can give rates if you’ve been to the campground b4, that would be really awesome. THANKS!

Best view is emerald bay, 2nd is DL Bliss and followed closely by camp richardson.

All around choice I would pick DL Bliss. I watched 4th of Jul;y fireworks from there and saw them all around the lake. Your also closer to emerald bay for some great hikes around the point.

Camp Richardson is close to town and the casino’s so it is more of a party campground but it does have some great view’s and nice beaches.

Reservations are a must and go quickly

Good luck!

We are planning to go tent camping this summer in Southern Maine. Does anyone have any favorites? Does anyone have any advice on places to stay away from?

I would vote Sebago Lake State Park. Hands down. Terrific lake for swimming, and boating if you choose. Beach to hang out on, and shady trees around the sites. You can reserve sites, but there are also sites that you have to just show up to get. There is access to bathrooms and showers. Super affordable and in my opinion, better than a commercial campground.

Traveling the GR 5 from Les Houches to Briancon. Can I tent camp the entire way. I believe I have seen that you can camp anywhere above tree line.

Alpine camping is best. Pack out waste including feces and urine.
Avoid avalanche chutes, rockfall, but bivy slung between two knobs
amid vertical cliff is fine if you sleep wearing fall-arrest harness fixed
to something that probably can’t be pulled away by accident. This
may work for reader on GR5 bridges at mid-span; just hang below
likely exit location of traffic hurtling past to destruction below.

A couple of my friends and I (including my boyfriend) want to go camping this Spring Break. However, I do not know where is a good place to go tent camping in, Can someone help. Any advice would help. I tried googling it, but it was just a vast of information.

By the way, we all live in San Diego, California. n_n

here we go 10 miles in on the river you still see 1 or 2 people but it is rare just let someone know where you will be the weather is not what the weather man says
