Vacation advice...........great wolf lodge?







Me and my best friend (and her family) are going on a vacation to the Great wolf lodge in Canada.
We'll be staying there for about four days and her dad said we could pick the theme of the suite we would be staying in. (keep in mind.. she has two younger brothers..4 and 9.) But we don't really know any themes. So if you could name as many as you could that would be great! thaaankss

God bless~



Answer
Family Fireplace Suite Our suites are perfect for family time with a fireplace in the living area and two queen beds in a partitioned sleeping space. Youâll also find a spacious bathroom, two TVs and a full-size sleeper sofa. This suite may also feature a private balcony. To give the kids a Northwoods themed space of their own, consider the Wolf Den⢠and KidCabin® suites.

Family Suite Our suites are perfect for family time, with a semi-private living area with a full-size sleeper sofa in one half of the suite. Find two queen beds, a spacious bathroom and TV in the other half. This suite also features a private balcony or patio. Consider our themed suites, like the famous KidCabin®, for more Northwoods charm

Wolf Den⢠Suite The kids ⦠er, cubs ⦠sleep in the wolf den, an in-suite cave-themed area with a bunk bed. They can ârough itâ with movies and Nintendo on their own 20" flat screen LCD TV. In the main portion of the suite, adults can sprawl out on a queen bed and full-size sleeper sofa. They get their own TV too, presumably for movies and Nintendo as well. This suite also features a private balcony or patio. Consider our themed suites, like the famous KidCabin®, for more Northwoods charm.

KidKamp⢠Suite Let the kids pitch camp with their very own Northwoods tent in the suite. Thereâs a bunk bed and TV, so they can ârough itâ with movies and Nintendo. In the main portion of the suite, adults can sprawl out on a queen bed and full-size sleeper sofa. They get their own TV too, presumably for movies and Nintendo as well. This suite also features a private balcony or patio. If the kids might like an additional day bed, consider the KidCabin® Suite as a more spacious and equally charming alternative.

KidCabin® Suite Give the kids their own Northwoods log cabin nestled within this larger family suite. The cabin houses a bunk bed, day bed and their own TV, so they can ârough itâ with movies and Nintendo. In the main room, adults can sprawl out on a queen bed and full-size sleeper sofa. They get their own TV too, presumably for movies and Nintendo as well. This suite also features a gas fireplace and may include a private balcony or patio. The KidCabin® is more spacious than the similarly charming Wolf Den⢠Suite

Majestic Bear⢠Suite For a most luxurious lodge experience, reserve our Majestic Bear⢠Suite. Two bedrooms offer privacy and comfort, while a spacious wet bar and multiple TVs make this suite the most regal of dens for your family. ⢠The private master bedroom has a California king bed and 25â TV ⢠The second bedroom, in the main portion of the suite has 2 queen beds, a full-size sleeper sofa, and another TV. ⢠This suite also includes a private balcony or patio. The Majestic Bear comfortably accommodates up to 8 guests. The large wet bar area has seating for 4.

Loft Fireplace Suite Space for everyone and a fireplace where you can gather the pack, share stories and unwind. Downstairs, find two queen beds, a semi-private living room with a full-size sleeper sofa, gas fireplace and two TVs. March upstairs, and find a third queen bed, half-bath, vaulted ceilings, and a third TV. This suite also includes a private balcony.

Whirlpool Fireplace Suite Thereâs nothing like a private whirlpool to unwind after an exciting day. Fire up the gas fireplace, fill up the huge, deep whirlpool tub, and melt into a relaxing evening. Once youâre done soaking, sprawl out on the king-size bed or full-size sleeper sofa. This suite also boasts two 27â TVs and a private patio. For a larger pack, consider the comforts of our Majestic Bear⢠or Loft Fireplace suites

Queen Sofa Suite The Queen Sofa is our most economical room and includes 1 queen bed, sofa sleeper and 27" TV. This suite is accessible, and also includes a private patio.

We will be four in a tent, me, my wife and our 2 kids, 11 and 10 years old...I have no idea what tents to buy and other things to bring...Whats the best tent to buy? since am new to camping, I want a tent thats easy to install but can accomodate us comfortably..


Answer
You didn't say if you were driving to a campground (like a state park) or hiking in. I will assume you are driving in, where you can access your vehicle and that you aren't going really high up. The more elevation, the colder it will be, especially at night. Adjust accordingly.

You should go to a sporting goods store and check the tents out first to find the size you want. I think the ones that say "6 person" are a little better. They give you room to sleep and stow some of your gear (clothes, etc).

If you are only going for two days, you should get a 1 room fairly simple one with a rain fly. You can find one probably $50-$75 at the cheapest. The inexpensive ones have a couple of long poles that come apart and you basically make two "bows" into an "X" pattern. These usually only take a few minutes to set up. If you really want to spend money, you can get one with multiple rooms or a little vestibule for taking off shoes or whatnot. Costco has one for $150 that sets up in seconds, according to the ad. I bought mine from Costco maybe 8-10 years ago for around $50, but it's an older style one.

You will want air mattresses, at least one double for you and your wife. Probably singles for your kids. Most kids don't need them, but it's nice. You can buy a cheap pump that runs off of your 12v car outlet. Since it is summer, you can buy light sleeping bags. You can even get away with regular bedding on an air mattress pretty easy. Don't forget pillows.

Camping stove -- 2 burner propane usually works fine. Bring crappy pans (we get ours at Goodwill). Don't forget a couple of tubs for washing dishes. I take paper plates and paper cups with no wax, so they burn easy. Maybe I should recycle...bah, I just eliminate more dishes.

Lantern or at least flashlights. I have a two mantle propane lantern and several small LED flashlights.


Here are some of the small things we usually bring:

cooler and ice
toilet paper (USFS and most state parks have single ply thin stuff)
baby wipes (good for cleaning up)
Rope, bungee cords, etc for hanging things
bags (for garbage, cans, etc) paper or plastic
small hatchet or axe and a pocket knife or leatherman
metal prongs designed for cooking over the fire (s'mores and hot dogs)
Small broom. For cleaning out the tent or clearing area to put tent
bug spray and sunblock
newspaper (fire starter)
can opener


Depending on the location and the amount of room you have in your vehicle, you might want to consider bringing firewood. It's usually expensive at or near campgrounds.

I might be forgetting a few things. I go camping a lot. I live about an hour away from two National Forests and several state parks. We actually have a 20-some gallon tote full of our stuff and we just bring that in the back of our truck.

have fun!
