Where are the best places to tent camp in Massachusetts?

February 23, 2010 - 1:29 pm No Comments

I’m looking for a nice place to go tent camping with my boyfriend. We don’t need a family camp grounds…just something fun for a couple in their mid-twenties.

I’d love to find a place near the Cape or Martha’s Vineyard but anywhere nice in Mass would do…

We’re looking for a place where we can swim, ride bikes, rent jet ski’s or paddle boats, etc. Thanks!

6 hour drive to camp in a tent for a week long Family Reunion with my In-Laws.?

February 17, 2010 - 1:21 pm 13 Comments

My husbands family is very large (3 brothers and 2 sisters)! His mother is Bi-polar. This year my MIL planned a family reunion at a lake and we all stayed in our own KOA cabins. It was one of the worst weeks of my life, and I was in tears by the time we came home. My sister-in-laws and MIL ignored me and seemed cold towards me the whole time. When I got home I heard an old message on the answering machine. It was my FIN, but in the background I could hear my MIL talking about me and it was not good. My sister-in-law the day before the reunion had told her that I did not want to go and did not like being with the family. 3 months and several anxiety attacks later I have finally gotten over it and feel relieved that we won’t be having another reunion for a while. WRONG! This week my sister-in-law took it upon herself to plan a week long camping trip for next year! All of the families think this is a great idea and want to go. I am starting to have anxiety attacks all over again! HELP!

How much does it cost to take a tent and camp at Yosemite National Park?

February 15, 2010 - 1:17 pm 1 Comment

My family is wanting to plan our first trip to Yosemite National Park. We are wanting to take a tent and do the whole natural camping thing. How much does it cost do this? I know you can rent lodges but we want to bring our own tent. Where can we stay if we bring our tent? We want to be near the water. So if you have any answers or suggestions, I would gladly appreciate them. Thanks!

Where can I camp near the NJ Shore?

February 15, 2010 - 1:17 pm 2 Comments

I’m looking for a nice family campsite near the Jersey shore. Something with woods, and at least somewhat private so my family and I can enjoy ourselves outdoors. We want to do a day/night of camping and then a day at the beach. We were thinking of Cheesequake State Park and then Sandy Hook beach – any opinions?
