My Son and I are going on our 1st camping trip. Other than a tent, food what other things should I take on a campping trip. There will be other kids at the camp site. Does anyone know of any games that we can play?


Answer
Well yes of course you will need essentials, camping stove, lantern, flashlights, sleeping bags, bug spray, sun block, cooler, tent, maybe an air mattress, comfy out doors clothes, good sturdy comfy shoes, plates, forks, cups, jugs of water.

For games? You can find a horse shoes set at a local store and bring it along. If there will be a swimming site bring some swimming gear (life jacket, swim suite etc etc), if there is a beach maybe you can set up a volley ball area. Is there a basketball area there?? You might be able to bring a basketball. Bring a ball and glove, atleast you could play catch. Bring a set of walkie talkies, those could be useful and fun, and they are fairly unexpensive. Have a familiy dog? See if it's ok to bring it along, and bring a frisbee and other pet toys.

Usually when you go camping there is a lake not too far away (of course good for swimming) but also good for fishing, so bring along fishing poles just incase (but make sure you have a fishing license). If there is a lake you might be able to rent a paddle boat and take it out on the lake for a spin.

What are some good camping areas close to San Francisco?

We are flying into San Francisco in the middle of May to go camping. We would like either beach access, or redwoods, or both would be great. Something within 3 hours of San Fran where we could rent a cabin (we will consider tent camping but flying with all the gear would be difficult). We will have a 3 year old with us so something kid friendly with rangers/security of some kind is needed. Right now we are mostly looking at Big Basin, but we are searching for other options as well. Any suggestions?


Answer
You might want to look into a KOA Cabin. They have several locations throughout the state.
Since you were thinking about Big Basin here is a link to the one in Santa Cruz County.
