Clumsy

I am shopping for camping supplies for my first ever camping weekend in May. Every time I go to try the tents, I get caught up in the lines and take them down. Are they really that delicate? Aren't these things suppose to be for tough forest conditions?

Answer
Forget the tent, buy a good old Aussie Swag.. I have 3 of them and I even have a Bike Swag which I can strap on the Harley..
Here have a look here, and this site is in USA..

Beaches across America that allow camping?

k_genna

Okay, I've decided that for one summer my husband and friends are going to be hippies and live in a van and travel around the country. Where are some beaches that allow camping? I suppose with or without fires. It could be tent camping or in an RV/trailer. We live in Louisiana and have unlimited funds, so no place is too far (except Alaska and Hawaii). Any suggestions for good destinations?

Answer
Beaches along both the east and west coasts offer thousands of campgrounds the problem though is getting a campsite since nearly the entire USA just like you wants to spend the summer driving up and down the coast. In California all beach campgrounds get reserved 6 months to a year in advance. So this summer is out of the question, start planning now for next year. Get your reservations in early and look here
