Camping at The Applewhite Campgrounds in Lytle Creek, CA

Monday, July 27th, 2009

The Applewhite Campgrounds are an ideal place for testing out your camping gear. You simply pay the fee required to camp there and go to your desired lot. There is a bench that you may eat at, plenty of camping space to accommodate you and your family or friends, a space to park your vehicle and a fire pit to cook your meals if you don’t have a camping cooker.

There is also a creek near by which also requires a fee. After that is paid however, you have access to the creek, which you may fish, swim and canoe in. Canoe rentals are also near the campsite. If you’re feeling adventurous there is a hiking trail not too far from the campgrounds that leads to Bonita Falls. Bonita Falls is a beautiful waterfall and is definitely worth the hike. The hike isn’t very long either; it takes about 45-50 minutes for an inexperienced hiker to reach the waterfall.

Maine Campgrounds Great For Bird Watching

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

There are so many different types of birds in the world and there are many that live in rural regions such as that of the coastal state Maine. I have had the joy of living and camping in Maine for many years. There are great things to look at in this state. The birds and wildlife are just a part of it. The environment is so beautiful that at virtually any mountaintop, and there are  many in Maine, you can see for miles around and take in the majestic wonder of it all.

It is much easier to do this if you have a nice set of binoculars of course. With myset, I have been able to document more than thirty five different types of birds around the campground in Maine. I am sure this is true of many other campgrounds all over the United States, but if you get the chance to come to Maine, you should take it.
