Car Camping.

Car camping is not quite as extreme as backpacking. A camp site is usually not as secluded and you often have the luxury of using a fire pit and picnic table. You don't have to carry your things on your back, and if things get too uncomfortable, you can always pack up and head back to the city. But that doesn't mean that car camping can't be really fun!

Some of my friends and I recently decided that we wanted to do a small camping trip just for the weekend so we headed to big Sur. The drive is very scenic and there are many pull out spots to enjoy a nice coastal view. Say Cheese for the group photo!
















Our group didn't set out to try and "survive" as is taught in some adventure out clinics. Our goal was more to pack up some coolers and have a relaxing time. Burgers and dogs are great in a camp setting.


























Once a fire is going, there isn't much need for any organized activity. Just watching the flames passes the time just fine while camping.

Car camping is a great way to get the feel of being out in the woods while still feeling very comfortable. The weather is great these days so go try it out!
