What camping accessories do you really love? - Page 4

I know a campground where you can do that. Certain sites are "accessible", including a power source.

True, but if you run a generator all night then you run a significant risk of camp site vandalism from your neighbors.

The accessible sites don't require a generator

They're wired. Oh, but ONLY the accessible sites have power, and it's low power, nothing you'd run a microwave off of.

Personally, I've been coveting an EZ-Up. I think I'm going to go with the "First Up" one because there are lots of accessories easily available for it at WalMart.

And I need a new camp bed at some point, because the frame on my old twin size one broke (and I wanted a queen size anyway). But that's not an emergency because my Coleman couch/bed is a decent substitute.

I love all the camping stuff. It's light, it folds, and it's cute!

Our upcoming camping trip will now include an upgrade in living spaces with our new tent.

"8 person" should be a great family tent and we can actually stand up in it. A MAJOR upgrade from our 4 person tent.

I've got my eye on the dutch oven I think. Camp is great for exploring, off roading and hiking - but it's also good for sitting around camp, reading and being a woman of leisure. The dutch oven seems to play into that fantasy quite nicely.

I can't wait to go camping! I have no idea where or when - but maybe again for our anniversary in May.

Of course, this whole thread is making me sad there's no swank camp this year, though glad I'm not spending money on all the new equipment I want.

Looks like you got the same tent we did last year: the Copper Canyon 1312. We absolutely love it: we were able to set up a queen size bed (a full bed with head and foot-board: not just an air mattress) and still have plenty of room to walk all the way around it while standing completely upright.

We used it for the first time at Camp Swank last year: there may be pictures of it somewhere.

Right on Kevy! I knew I'd picked out a good one. Did you find it easy to set up?

(and now I must go try and find photos of this tent of yours.)
