Not all people enjoy having a nice vacation with room service and fancy restaurants. For these people who enjoy living on the edge or just spending a quiet vacation in the outdoors, I would recommend going camping. Although this type of vacation is not quite my type with the poison ivy, outhouses, and living in the woods, I would find that anyone who likes living off nature or living a simple life would enjoy this vacation.
Deep in the wilderness, life is quite and peaceful. The ground is covered with either crunchy or wet leaves; the surrounding variety of trees sway back and forth, blowing cool air throughout the woods; and the wildlife is active throughout the area. When the sun shines brightly and the weather is good, the forest comes alive with activity from all of the different animal species and all of the plant life becomes green and lush. Everything is normally quiet in the woods so a person can enjoy the peace of being with just themselves or other people.
Pitching a tent and sleeping in sleeping bags is one way for people to go camping the inexpensive way. Instead of buying a huge trailer or mobile home, they can buy a tent and sleep in it. If they decide to sleep in a tent, then they will have to cook their own food over a campfire or they can bring a grill. They will also most likely have to use a portable toilet or use a public bathroom if they choose this method of camping. Although I find this myself to be an unpleasant vacation, some people find it relaxing to live in the wilderness without the comforts of home.
Some people also enjoy to sleep in campers when they go camping. Instead of sleeping in tents, they can enjoy all of comforts of home in simpler campers or in more complex campers. Some of these campers have stoves, refrigerators, microwaves, running water, bathrooms, and even televisions. While enjoying the outdoors, these people can enjoy the comforts of home and they do not have to sleep on the forest floor. This makes it easier for many people to camp and makes camping available to more people. Using a camper makes it easier for parents who have young or multiple children. They can cook for the children, have food available at all times, have an easier place for the children to sleep, and also have room for all of the equipment that children need. Campers are also the perfect way to be outdoors without having to live in the wilderness.
There are many camping activities that are fun to do with families, friends, or just by yourself. Whether a person is roughing it out in a tent or in the safe components of a camper, one of the many activities that people do when they camp is building a camp fire. Sitting around a campfire in the early evening and into the night is a great way to spend time with family or friends. One of the only activities I enjoyed when I went camping once was roasting marshmallows to make smores over the open fire. Although I smelled like smoke after, I enjoyed myself and even had fun. Some people even prepare their dinners over the open fire, which is a very interesting experience. Other activities can include taking nature walks in the woods, playing outdoors, going swimming if there is a lake nearby, or just sitting around playing games. These activities allow family and friends to become closer and have fun together.
One of the best parts about camping is that it can be an electronic free time if you choose so that you can spend quality time with family or with friends. When you are in a camper, you can choose not to have electronic devices such as televisions, electronic games, and other things that keep us occupied today. If you are sleeping in a tent, you can definitely avoid use of all of these devices. This way you can spend time with your friends or family by going on hikes together or playing sports outside. This makes people more active if they go camping instead of spending other vacations where people just lay around on beaches. Camping is a great way to have fun with your family and to be more active outdoors.
If you are tired of the regular vacations that cost a lot of money and are too fancy, go the simple and inexpensive route of going camping. This is a great way to enjoy the fresh air and to be relaxed at the same time. Although camping does not suit everyone, a person will never know if they like it or not until they spend a vacation in the woods.

Hey Katie. Your blog is really descriptive so it soundslike you must know a lot about camping which is good. The detail is great and even though I'm not a camping persoon either, your explanation of it makes me want to try it out. However, in paragraph two you spelled quiet wrong. Also, this sentence, "The ground is covered with either crunchy or wet leaves; the surrounding variety of trees sway back and forth, blowing cool air throughout the woods; and the wildlife is active throughout the area," is a bit long and if you say and in between 'woods' and 'the' then i don't think youneed a semicolon. Other than that it was good.
ReplyDeleteYour use of imagery in the second paragraph really makes the forest/wilderness come alive. Use sensory details in that fashion to make your writing more vibrant.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the unnecessary word here?: "Although I find this myself to be an unpleasant vacation, some people find it relaxing to live in the wilderness without the comforts of home."
"When you are in a camper, you can choose not to have electronic devices such as televisions, electronic games, and other things that keep us occupied today. If you are sleeping in a tent, you can definitely avoid use of all of these devices." You don't need to go camping to not use all these devices!
Your blog is a place where you don't have to conform to the rigidity of the formal essay. I'd love to see more voice, style, and personality radiating from this exercise.
