If you have a family who loves camping, you likely are a fan of a particular type of camping, be it campervan camping, tent camping, or hiking.
For Trekaroo camping advice, check out our post on the qualities that make a good camping experience for families! There are numerous alternatives. You don’t even need a tent to camp. Bring your family along on a treehouse camping trip. or stay in a yurt, cabin, fire tower, or teepee? Families can enjoy a more lavish holiday without having to upgrade to a lodge or hotel by exploring other camping alternatives. Be sure to reserve your campsites well in advance! Here are four great camping options to consider this year. Popular among West Coast coastal campgrounds, yurt camping sites are being added to the list of state park campgrounds across the United States. What exactly is a yurt camping for you to ask? Imagine a yurt built in Mongolian design, which is circular with canvas walls and wooden platforms floors. Place it in the Pacific Northwest, or Colorado Rockies. Add an electric heater and in some cases there’s even a kitchenette and bathroom and you’ll have an outdoor experience that has the authentic feel of camping in tents without the stress. While camping in a yurt families can take their mattress at home. A majority of yurts feature bunk beds, a futon mattress and bed. Some, however, require that you bring in your bedding. There’s no need for the kitchen equipment except if your yurt is with no kitchen In which case it’s easy to build the kitchen of a camp on the porch or front deck of the yurt. porch. We love to turn on a light to read at night, it’s easy to play board games on the table in the yurt but still as ideal for children as camping in tents. Our top yurts: The ones found of yurts located in Sunset Bay State Park, Oregon. You can find the most extensive choice of yurts within Oregon and Washington state campgrounds, and also the «glamping» variety in private campgrounds throughout the country. Often found within the same parks that yurts are, single-family camping accommodations are usually equipped with a living space , with table and chairs, as well as bunk beds. If you have an bathroom and kitchen, it’s really more of a vacation home than a camping cabin… We’ve also seen the teepees at some state parks too, but they are generally located in private campgrounds and off Native American reservation areas. Teepees tend to be basic. You can bring your own sleeping mats and bags and cook food outside by setting a fire. Our favorite cabinsare Silver Falls campground cabins in Salem Oregon. Ka-Nee Ta campground in Warm Springs, Oregon is our absolute favorite Teepee. Treehouse camping is a category in its own. It’s like an adventure trip or a B&B. These properties that are typically privately owned, offer breakfast and dinner as also outdoor activities. Some allow tent camping on the property as well as bonfires and large groups. Our top pick: Out ‘n About Treesort located in Cave Junction, Oregon. This property is kid-heaven with its many hand-crafted tree structures connected by rope bridges or platforms. Imagine Swiss Family Robinson multiplied by 20! Each treehouse is unique, so make sure to be sure to carefully consider your options prior to you reserve. It is best to make a call prior to make sure that the staff at the treesort can match your family with the perfect treehouse to meet the needs of your children and their abilities. At Out ‘n About, everyday family activities include zip lining and horseback riding, as well as hiking and exploring the nearby Oregon Caves National Monument. The Oregon coast is only a few miles from the resort, as is also a natural pool within the grounds. Inactive and out-of-service fire towers are available to book numerous nights each summer. Staying a night in a wild fire tower requires a lot of planning First of all the few nights that are available to civilians quickly fill up. Additionally, it’s difficult to find out what’s available there. You can start by visiting the state’s forestry site or the national forest website. Or, you can search on Google to find lodging for towers that fire. Families need to be able to drive a short distance to reach the fire tower, and then sometimes hike to the destination. In most cases, a four-wheel drive vehicle is required. When you arrive at your fire tower place to stay for the night, you’ll find sleeping accommodations along with a kitchenette. But there’s often nothing more aside from the views and the reason you came. The peace and quiet of a fire tower hotel is amazing, but due to serious climbing, high altitudes, and the lack of facilities, families with young children need to be familiar with the natural surroundings and more vigilant. If you’ve never visited an KOA (Kampgrounds of America) recently, you might want to check these camping spots out! While it was a while ago that the KOA brand was designed meant for campers on RVs It now offers cozy cabins for camping at all sites. Families have the option of a luxurious cabin that includes several rooms and kitchens, or kitchenettes, plus full bathrooms for some glamping or choose a smaller standard cabin, which has bunks and a table and chairs, along with electricity and heaters (but there are no bathrooms, typically). KOAs are typically located near outdoor attractions, such as the Redwoods KOA, Crescent City, California. We also have stayed at ‘journey KOAs that are stops along interstates while traveling. We’ve found that our kids enjoy them more than motels! While the Appalachian Trail is an integral part of American outdoor culture It takes months to complete and demands a commitment. Instead of trying to tackle it without assistance, we set out to plan an excursion at the Appalachian Mountain Club’s series of mountain huts located in the White Mountains. This kind of camping experience requires an understanding of the AMC system. But, it’s worth the effort. Kids can easily hike through the few miles to lodges in the middle of New England, where they’re welcome by the staff (or ‘Croo’ as they refer to themselves). These huts can accommodate 60 guests and aren’t smaller than a small hut. Breakfast is served family-style and families are able to set aside ‘family rooms’ and bunks, according to their needs. Hike from hut to hut, or just think of a single overnight.
