Now that you have chosen the option of your choice and bought the items you need it’s time to start booking your campsites. For beginners starting off it would be best to stay at the closest National Park. National Parks have lots of things organized, clean bathrooms, showers, laundry rooms, clean water,  areas to pay for firewood, dumping stations and activities like pools, playgrounds and even sometimes golf. The best way to book your site is to use the park’s official website so you can avoid bad campsites and maybe even scamming. Once you get on the website you will have to decide how long you are staying, choose the size of the campsite (judge this off of the size of your tent, tent trailer, trailer and your vehicles) and whether it’s a site with electricity or not. Make sure to read your park's rules and follow the rules of their campground.

 

      Try your best to find a time where it’s not supposed to rain, but incase it does rain here is what you should do. Make sure your chairs and other things that could get damaged by rain and put them into your vehicle or under a tarp. If you are in a tent try to strap a tarp above the tent to avoid any leaking, in a tent trailer you don’t have to do this but try to avoid touching the tents when wet. Do not stand under a tall tree because lighting would be more likely to hit something tall. If you happen to be in a field duck down as low to the ground as possible. If you are in your campsite, you should be fine just to wait in your tent or trailer while the storm passes. Otherwise stay in a nearby shelter.
