Do you remember your first camping trip?
I’m talking about the first real camping trip where the entire family hit the road and made it at least a day’s trip away from home.
The scene goes something like…
Mom and Dad pack up the family for one of those long trips across the country.
The station wagon is filled to the brims with clothes, coolers and the old tent that appears to have changed colors since the last time Mom and Dad used it back in their twenties.
You probably fought a little bit with the siblings. There were probably 100 stops along the trip to use the restroom and grab a few snacks.
And then you reached the campground and all was well. The scenery is still fresh in your mind. The smell of the pine trees and the sound of the rippling creek down the trail still seem fresh and new.
There is nothing like spending a few days out in the wilderness. There are great experiences to be had including exploring the surroundings, playing outdoors games with the family and sitting around the campfire telling stories while sipping some iced tea.
The memories of camping are vivid and if you’re considering taking a trip with your family it would be worth your while to consider one of the best places in all of the US: Sheridan, Wyoming.
