Even though family camping lost some of it’s popularity over the last 25 years or so, camping was one of the most popular family activities during the middle 20th century. The good news is camping appears to be making a comeback, the number of American campers increased by nearly three million people between 2008 and 2012.
As more RV campgrounds, cabin rentals, and other types of vacation are popping up across the United States, it is easier than ever to find a park than ever. Regardless of the type of camping people choose, camping gives every member of your family the chance to break their routines, enjoy the outdoors, get active, and spend some quality time with their family members.
One of the favorite activities among all campers is the good old campfire. Cooking and roasting marshmallows over an open fire is especially fun to children. But it is important for all campers to remember that children must never be near a fire without a adult supervision.
Whether you are talking about New York, California, Ohio, Colorado, Indiana, or Pennsylvania camping, every family needs to experience a trip together. You don’t even need to be the “outdoor type” to do so, because cabin camping can be almost like living in your own home. But it might not be as popular among family members who prefer really “roughing it.”
Still, it really doesn’t matter where or how a family camping trip takes place, because the main idea is spending some quality time together. After all, the speed of life has gotten to the point where a lot of family members can live under the same and never see each other for more than 10 minutes per day.
From Pennsylvania camping to cabins in Colorado, it would be difficult to find a family activity that offers more opportunities for fun and excitement than family camping. And as long as you have a few sleeping bags and a tent, there are few family activities that are more affordable!
