I kind of said that in my first paragraph. And yes, crowds do kill it to some extent

I loved camping as a kid, but had two experiences that totally killed it for me

To me this isn't camping. Camping is hiking 4 miles to get to your campsite. That's just what I grew up with though

On my backpacking trip, my wife and I hiked 7 miles in.

A desert backpacking trip I'm planning with my wife is Coyote Gulch. I've never been, but she has

I enjoy nature. I just enjoy sleep better. I enjoy food. I just enjoy cooking it

I get that. It's not for everyone. I really enjoy doing those hard things in the outdoors, which makes me weird

You need to get a trailer, it's much better. ☺️

I'd love a camping trailer. But I love tent camping as well. I have a trailer for hauling equipment

Can you take a camping trailer to goblin valley? Do you have to reserve a spot

Yes, you can take a trailer there. You can reserve a spot in the campground, but the campground is

That sounds really fun. My issue is I can't get off work until Friday afternoon

There are some really nice slot canyons right near there too. Little Wildhorse is one of them

I'd like to go try out that area. How can I get there? Is there a specific area

Pull up google maps and zoom in on the area.

camping is also a fantastic way to literally unplug from technology

I love this too. One of the things that cracks me up about the elk photo with my daughter is she has her phone

Goblin Valley was recently certified as a "dark sky" park, so I bet the stars

I take enough equipment camping that I'd need to steal at least 4-5 shopping carts.

Since you love camping - you should try camping at Kalaloch on the Washington coast.

I looked into that two years ago. We will definitely do that sometime, as Olympic is one of the few

Everything you do camping you can do in a cabin

This is not accurate. Cabins are very nice, and I'd love to have one, but it is not the same experience as
