We got most of our camping kitchen, outdoor watches, and hiking shoes from REI. True it's a bit pricey but the quality and customer services can't be beat.

We grab our totes, lights and drill here for our camping needs.
The totes help with organization. Husky makes these nice rechargeable lights that last all night. Lastly. Our Ryobi impact drill has been great when we need to screw type tent stake fo...

National Park Campgrounds Worth Booking Early
Popular national park campgrounds known for great locations, accessibility, and amenities. These are sites that tend to fill up fast and are worth planning ahead for.
Our favorite site, low light population, great for astro photography, big rocks to climb and had a short trail for exploration.
Note: There's so many areas for rock climbing
Indian Cove Campground, Joshua Tree National Park
The campground was so unexpected. The site we selected was spacious and close to the flushable bathrooms.

Love being able to setup a campfire right on the sand. We had the opportunity to sleep hearing the waves crash on the ocean
Doheny State Beach - California State Parks
Another great spot for family camping. We picked a group site and bathrooms are close enough to walk. Only downfall is it's close to the highway
Oak Grove Campground, Cleveland National Forest
Another great adventure. Ryan campground is the spot for practicing rock climbing without harnesses. The rocks are not too high and perfect for training. The campground is wrapped around all the boulders. It's at the heart of Joshua Tree so at center...
