National Park Service
National Parks?
I couldn’t figure out why someone thought that I’d be interested in the website for the National Park Service. After all, that sounds an awful lot like camping and roughing it ““ definitely NOT things high on my to-do list.
But after spending some time on the site, I discovered the Park Service is in charge of all sorts of fun stuff, not just campgrounds. They’re involved in recreation, history, culture, nature, science, education, and much more. The site lists information alphabetically, and by topic and region of the country.
Check it out. I found all sorts of fun places to check out this summer.

There’s lots to see and do in the parks. Also, many have cabins and lodges on site … not much different from a hotel. And, of course, there are hotels off site, so you can still see and do the cool things with the park. Yeah, I am not so thrilled with camping if a nice bed is nearby somewhere.

Heh, camping at Forest Service campgrounds doesn’t have to be roughing it. Our family did the tent-camping deal, but other campers had some pretty schnazzy motorhome setups. One thing is for sure, you can’t beat the price for camping fees.

I know.
Many of the areas under the control of the NPS are just lovely areas to spend a day, and don’t involve camping at all.
