Community Camping Northwest
One of the great things about living in the Northwest is the great opportunity for outdoor community activities. Oregon camping is a great option for those who are looking to plan a group gathering and there are plenty of places to hold such events. Sites like Trails.com and Pacific101.com are great resources for group camping sites in the Northwest.
Community camping is a great way to catch up with old friends, or add some new dynamics to an already existing group. Preparing for these trips is fairly easy if you split up responsibilities and create checklists for everyone. Just like when you head out on a family camping trip, make a list of all the equipment you will need for your length of stay and then divide it up between the group. Everyone should be responsible for their own basic camping gear – tents, sleeping bags, clothes, flashlight, basic survival gear, etc. Then divide up the food responsibilities between the group. Designate a few people to bring lanterns for the campsite – we recommend the Coast LED Lenser TT7105 because of its bright light and long-lasting battery life. You can designate one person to be in charge of water but this may be best divided between 2 or three individuals for safety reasons.
Community camping is a great way to spend a holiday with friends enjoying the clean air of the Oregon wilderness.
