Camping Can Be Comfortable

Camping in the rugged outdoors, sleeping on the floor of a tent doesn’t have to be uncomfortable. Most seasoned campers are using air mattress beds.  Camping air mattresses have several purposes, the most obvious is a thick cushion of air to sleep on versus the hard ground. An air mattress that keeps you off the ground will also have an insulating affect and will keep you warmer. Most airbeds have a flocked surface that will keep your bedding or sleeping bag from slipping off of the air mattress.

The Intex Prestige Downy air mattress is one of the most versatile air beds. This air mattress has a pump that operates on 4 D cell batteries, this means you can take this air mattress virtually anywhere! This air bed is rugged for camping use and nice enough to use at home as an extra bed for guests.

When you are getting your camping gear together for you next outing don’t forget the air mattress, after all who says sleeping outdoors has to be sleepless. We all love our creature comforts, sleeping outdoors should be a pleasant experience!

Ice in a Jug Has Two Purposes

I am a huge fan of saving money when I go camping so I like to fill several plastic jugs with water and freeze them, you can use 1 gallon or even half gallon size jugs. The neat thing is they stay frozen longer than bag ice and as the ice melts you will have extra drinking water. If you are going to be camping for longer than a few days the extra drinking water will definitely come in handy.

Family Camping at its Best!

The Copper Canyon 1312 is one of Eureka’s most popular family camping tents. The 1312 is a cabin style tent that sleeps 8 people and its vertical walls offer maximum interior floor space that is ideal for use with cots. The floor space is 13′ x 12′ but has more area than a 14′ x 10′ tent because the vertical walls make the tent so spacious. The 1312 can be one large room or use the removable divider curtain to make two rooms. Parents can sleep in one room and kids in the other or, sleep in one room and store your gear in the other. Bring along friends and have your own private room, the possibilities are endless!

Eureka! uses StormShield cloth in its large family tents because it withstands longer periods of exposure to UV rays, and it has excellent tear strength and waterproofness. Durability has not been over looked by Eureka! You expect long term durability for you money and who could blame you, the Copper Canyon 1312 is designed for heavy traffic and years of quality family camping.
