We'll have plenty of room since we're taking our moster van as well as a trailer for bikes and firewood.<BR/><BR/>Most of the state parks offer several kinds of sites. You have your rustic sites with no hookups--which are usually designated for tents. But then you have sites with all kinds of hookups. We usually just choose one that offers a basic electric hookup. There might be a slight difference in cost, but I don't know since we've always done it this way. I'm afraid once you've gotten used to the convenience of having electric, it really spoils you!!Raise Them Uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15131235222116977410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2591469651266661841.post-73645123152381797432008-10-20T13:41:00.000-04:002008-10-20T13:41:00.000-04:00I would take both the tarp and the blanket. It's ...I would take both the tarp and the blanket. It's not very space-efficient, I know (and I really need to learn to do better at that!), but that would be my first choice. ; ) I would probably go with the light quilt idea, but there are the cons of the possibility of it getting wet. If that is an issue, I would think that a tarp would be some help while solving the dampness problem. It wouldn't be air-proof, but if you're running a heater in the tent, you might not want it to be totally airproof. And yes, I think clothes pins are an amazing idea. I don't know if that helped, but there is some of my rambling thought process for you.<BR/><BR/>Btw, where do you go tent camping that you get electricity? I haven't found that luxury yet in my tent camping experiences. ; )Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387755027721718430noreply@blogger.com
