Tips for camping with families

Exercise preparation: Terrain varies significantly between campgrounds. "This campground is called Robin HILL for a reason. You will get your exercise walking to the pond, pool, capstone or basketball courts," warns a camper, suggesting parents consider campground topography when planning with children.
