Planning a Camping Vacation or Road Trip as a Family or Couple
Camping vacation trips as a family were the only vacations we took when our children were growing up, and they involved careful planning. The information and printable lists of camping supplies you will find here will be a great help whether you are planning a family camping trip, or a camping vacation as a couple, or single.
Camping vacations can be very economical, which is so important with the present economy and rising cost of travel due to gas prices. Please enjoy the resources and ideas for vacationing on a budget, including free printable camping supply lists.

Thank you!
We appreciate it when special people called "lensmasters" on Squidoo visit, and like what they see enough to "bless" our lens. If the terms Squidoo, lensmasters, lenses, and Squid Angel are foreign to you, you should join us on Squidoo and in time, it will all make sense:-)
This module only appears with actual data when viewed on a live lens. The favorite and lensroll options will appear on a live lens if the viewer is a member of Squidoo and logged in.
Where are you vacationing this year?

- I missed three on the quiz. Two because I did not know and one that I hit the wrong key. It was easy because I have camped at seven of them. Camping lists are the only way we plan our camping. I like that you included lists for meals. That is incredibly helpful. We will be camping at the Catalina State Park in Tucson later this month. Angel blessed

- I travel to Minnesota every summer but its not really a vacation. My husband takes time off in October (in honor of Halloween) but as a teacher I can't go anywhere then. We NEED to plan something TOGETHER.
Thanks for sharing

- My husband's job has made it extra-challenging to vacation this year, we are actually vacationing after Christmas so we can make the most of the few days he has left, tacking them on to the holidays. Hope you find time to plan a vacation together soon.
