Last September my boyfriend did the impossible, he took me camping.
Although I’ve always lived in small (country-ish) towns, my heart has always ached for big cities. So, when my boyfriend said he was planning a camping trip for the end of summer, I was a no-go! Don’t get me wrong, I love nature and the outdoors, but the thought of spending the night outside with bugs and heat, yeah no.
But somehow he convinced me and I lived to tell the tale. And surprisingly it wasn’t as bad as I had envisioned, and I have Gardner State Park to thank for that. You see, they are so used to seeing visitors each year that they know how to cater to all levels of campers.
Here are 5 tips for first-timers:
Now the trip was not all bad. It is absolutely beautiful out there. The staff at GSP have done such a great job at preserving the park.
Come ready to have fun! They have a transit that takes you to the perfect spot to begin your trip down the Frio River (about a 2 1/2 hour float). Bring your comfortable shoes because they have many hike/bike trails. And bring your dancing boots and dance underneath the Texas sky at the Pavilion, it’s a tradition!
Would I go camping again? Probably. But not without a truckload full of amenities. Glamping, that’s what I’d do! I mean you can take the girl out of the city, but you can’t take the city out of the girl.
