Hi, I’m a 38-year-old family camping blogger, sports lover, and outdoor enthusiast—and most importantly, a proud parent to four incredible kids. If you’ve found your way here, chances are you love fresh air, crackling campfires, muddy boots, and the kind of memories that stick long after the tent comes down. You’re in the right place.
My journey into family camping didn’t start with perfectly packed bins or matching flannel shirts. It started the way most real adventures do: with curiosity, a bit of chaos, and a strong desire to get my kids outside and away from screens. Somewhere between forgotten tent pegs, burnt hotdogs, and late-night laughs under the stars, camping became more than a hobby—it became a lifestyle and a story worth sharing.
Why Family Camping?
With four kids, life is loud, busy, and wonderfully unpredictable. Between school schedules, sports practices, and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy for time to slip by. Camping slows everything down. Out in the woods, days are measured by sunlight instead of clocks, and conversations happen naturally—around a fire, on a trail, or while skipping rocks along a shoreline.
Family camping has given us space to reconnect with each other and with nature. I’ve watched my kids learn resilience by setting up tents in the rain, creativity by inventing games with sticks and stones, and confidence by hiking just a little farther than they thought they could. These experiences are the heartbeat of this blog.
What This Blog Is About
This space is dedicated to real-life family camping. Not the picture-perfect kind where nothing goes wrong—but the honest, rewarding kind that families actually experience. I write about:
- Family-friendly camping trips and destinations
- Gear that actually works for parents with kids
- Easy camp meals that don’t require gourmet skills
- Outdoor activities that keep kids engaged and moving
- Lessons learned from both successful trips and total flops
Whether you’re pitching a tent for the first time or loading up the camper for your hundredth trip, my goal is to help you feel confident, prepared, and inspired.
