large pop up camping tents image
Me and my family are planning a vacation this summer, but we don't know where to.We have 2 kids(3 & 12).And 2 dogs, we are wanting to take at least one of our dogs, but we could leave them at home. We are wanting it to be in the U.S. We were thinking about yellowstone or the grand canyon,but we are also thinking about several other places.Do you have any suggestions?
Answer
Florida. I'm sure the first thing that popped into your head was a beach, however, the lesser known natural beauties of Florida is all of its wonderful forests. I lived near the Ocala National Forest for many years and have experienced first hand the hidden wonders of its woods. The wildlife, which includes deer, black bear, armadillos, cranes, snakes and many others, is in abundance. There is so much open space for your family, dogs included, to roam and find new things around every corner. I've even found plenty of Native American artifacts, such as pottery shards and a variety of arrow heads and points.
Most forests here have many ATV trails and 4x4 trails- even guided tours. The camping is amazing and you can find full hook-up sites or tent sites. The St Johns river is my favorite place to camp/visit. I really love to fish and this river is great for large mouth bass among various pan fish.
All this being said, the beaches are just 30-60 minutes away. Daytona beach (and most Volusia county beaches) does not allow your dogs on the beach but, St. Augustine does and there is a beach near Ponce Inlet that is very pet friendly. If you want to do the theme park thing, they are also just an hour or so away and provide kennels for your pets.
Hope this helped, have a wonderful vacation!

what are the easiest camping tents to build?
Q. i want to buy a tent.
Answer
First are pop ups. But these don't stand against the wind well

Next are free standing domes. In the smaller size getting the poles arched can be difficult but these are well suited for expedition use the larger sizes in the low price range are like the pop up and don't handle the wind well.

last are frame tents with complicated assemblies and and staking. However in the toughest of winter camping these can handle snow and cold temps better then any other. However weight makes them suitable only for car camping or packed in by horse.
