Camping On or Around Lake Gaston?

May18

Hello, I was just wondering if anyone happened to know of any cheap or good free places to camp for a weekend around Lake Gaston where adequate fishing (and maybe some hiking) would be available. I have looked up a couple of places but because they are family oriented resorts they are way too expensive. Can you just randomly camp around the lake?

Does anyone of any good camping spots to reccomend in the mountains near or around Big Bear or another lake?

May18

Me and some friends were looking to go camping next weekend and were thinking about Big Bear. I want some place that has a fairly nice lake and lots of trees; I don’t really want to be camping in some desert scrub with no trees around. Can anyone reccommend a really cool place to go camping in SoCal that is by a lake so we can go swimming and boating?

Thanks
Also, what about camping on Catalina? i’ve never been there and have always wanted to go. Do you need a reservation far in advance? Or what do you know about camping on that island?

What are some great camping locations around the northern Virginia area?

May18

I want to take my family camping and I’m looking for some great camping locations near Vienna, VA (a few hours away driving maybe?) that have cabin rentals at a reasonable price. I’d prefer a lake to be nearby that you can fish in since my dad’s a big fishing and boating fan. If they have a website, that’d be really helpful. Just throw out a few names of the places that you’ve enjoyed camping at and a bit of the activities to do around there and that’d be extremely helpful! Thank you all so much.

Where can a inexperienced family of 4 camp out around the NYC area ?

May16

I have two young sons ages 7 & 5 , and they have a desire to have a legitimate camp-out.

Where we can pitch a tent, have a barbecue, roast marshmallows on an open fire. Stare up at the stars at night. maybe take a swim in a lake too.

My only problem is, we never did any camping before.

Where can a family of 4 go without any camping experience to enjoy such a weekend without costing me a small fortune on all the camping accessories needed if i were a full-time camper.

Is there such an establishment around the NYC area ?

What governing bodies should the campsite belong too ?

What is the coolest place to stay around Balaton, Hungary to enjoy partying and nightlife?

May5

I am looking for hostel or campsite around Balaton lake in Hungary. But I want the place to be cool and with good nightlife. No families with kids or retired people…you know what I mean?

I went to Florida for spring break last year, and I am looking for something similar in central/eastern Europe. I know Ibiza or Majorca will be probably best choice, but I decided to tour the east.

Thanks

Hotels Around and Within Lake Naivasha

March18

Hotels accommodations in Kenya range from Nairobi Budget hotel to luxury world class hotels. Most of them have partnered with renowned tour operators within the country (head offices mostly in Nairobi) and even abroad. This forms efficient service delivery channels for the country’s many tourists to include pick up from the airport, car hire and car rental services. Some of the hotels around lake Naivasha include the following:

Loldia House – This is one of Kenya’s oldest farms, situated in the spectacular Great Rift Valley on the shores of Lake Naivasha and within easy reach of the capital, Nairobi. Lake Naivasha Country Club – opened in 1937 as a staging post for Imperial Airways’ flying boat service from Durban to London. The 55-acre property boasts green lawns shaded by mature acacias and spreading fever trees, that stretch down to the lake’s shore.

Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge – On the southern shores of Lake Naivasha is Lake Naivasha Sopa Lodge. The lake is the only freshwater lake within Africa’s Great Rift Valley.

Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge – The newly built Lake Naivsha Simba Lodge is situated within walking distance from Lake Naivasha. The walk to the lake shore is about a kilometer along a dusty path. Midway is a gate and electric fence to control the movement of hippos into the lodge grounds. A very high platform on the jetty offers a spectacular view of the lake and Mt Longonot.

Chui Lodge – In the Great Rift Valley lies Kenya’s Best Kept Secret “Chui Lodge”. Whilst sipping cocktails by the warmth of a campfire and watching the sun setting behind the distant hills, June Zwager envisaged the concept of Chui Lodge.

Crater Lake Camp – Nestled on the shores of a jade green volcanic lake just one and a half hours from Nairobi, Crater Lake offers an evocative step back in time – to a bygone era of elegance and romance, in a wilderness untouched by the modern world.

Elsamere – Elsamere is the former home of the late Joy Adamson who, together with her husband George, became world famous for their pioneering conservation work and relationship with the Lioness Elsa, as told in her best-selling book and subsequent film: Born Free.

Kiangazi House – located in the 5,000-acre Oserian Game Corridor. With delightful lush gardens littered with colour, rolling lawns and a view to compliment the beautiful setting it’s ironic that “Kiangazi” is the Swahili word meaning “hot and dry season”.

Kongoni Game Valley Villa – Kongoni Game Valley is a private park on the shores of Lake Naivasha in Kenya’s Great Rift valley only 120 km. from Nairobi. As an exclusive Safari Club it offers excellent and personalized attention to only a small number of guests.

Lake Naivasha Lodge – Lake Naivasha, managed by the Friends of Lake Nakuru and Elementaita Conservation Project, was formerly an English colonial farmhouse.

Malewa River Lodge – Within this Conservancy is the small and exclusive 16 bed “eco-friendly” Malewa River Lodge, nestled in the shade of huge Acacia trees on the banks of the Malewa River.

Edwin is a specialist in African Safaris and a tour operator. His tour company, African Safaris & Adventures, has presence in South Africa, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Egypt, Madascar, Tanzania, Zanzibar, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, and Seychelles.

If you were camping with your family, saw a bear around your child’s tent, and had a gun, would you shoot it?

February23

I purposely did not express any opinion in this question. Please don’t make assumptions about how I feel about the topic.

I am merely attempting to get your opinion with regard to the question . . .not me. I am specifically interested in people’s reactions to a bear; not a mountain lion, squirrel, snake, or badger, OK?
