10 Reasons to Go Camping
Need a little motivation to organize a camping trip? Here are American River Resort’s 10 reasons to get you and your family out of the house and into a tent (or RV or cabin) this Spring and Summer.
Ahhh. Just breathe. We all need time outdoors to respect and appreciate the natural world we belong to. The refreshing effects of a weekend campout linger for weeks.
No app required. Unplug from the pressures of technology. Let camping force a return to simple things.
Camping is exercise. Hiking, biking, a walk by the river, kayaking, rafting, swimming. Discover nature’s gym on the banks of The American River!
Unwind. Clear your mind. Listen to the river, the wind in the trees, the crickets at night. Stillness in our surroundings brings stillness within. You need that!
Camping bonds family. Happy times around the campfire mean setting fire to marshmallows and memories that last. Create family-together memories while you can.
Life outdoors makes for fun, adventurous meals. Camp food helps complete the whole get-away-from-it-all camping experience.
No artificial light or ceilings to block your view. Camping out lets you watch the sky change and the stars come out. Share it with someone.
Practice wilderness survival. Teach the message that life away from modern convenience is a fun and worthwhile adventure.
Leave the busy distractions behind. Focus on each other or on the kids. Camping creates person to person magic. Rediscover conversation.
