Camping

I've slept in a lot of Missouri tents in my lifetime, but I've never slept in one like this. It just might be the most glamourous tent in Missouri. Oh, and it also includes an herbal spa (and a lot more).

When you go camping, what do you look for? If a wild west theme and mini-golf are on the list, I may have found the Illinois campground for you.

A website has ranked every state from best to worst for camping in 2022, let us compare how the Show-Me State stacks up against the Land of Lincoln, Illinois doesn't stand a chance...right?

Don't let winter and cold weather stop you from camping.

I will admit that it's been several years since I've been camping, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the way it normally works. A new video share shows the surprising moment when some Midwestern campers were joined by a deer inside of their tent.

I have only seen one bear in the wild in my life and that was during my family's vacation to Glacier National Park a few years ago. If the Missouri Department of Conservation is correct, we are likely to start seeing more bears in the state and are warning about what that means to their outdoor habits.

With lots of vacation destinations either closed for the summer, or enforcing strict guidelines, families are looking for ways to take a vacation this summer. Well, who doesn't love camping? The fresh air, nature, scary stories, campfires (and S'mores!) And what's better than camping, you ask? How about camping for FREE!? Fortunately, there are plenty of sites right here in the Tri-States to do just that.

Camping’s not for everybody. I get that. It’s dirty. There’s no air conditioning. Cell reception is terrible. A bear might eat your kayak.

I was born and raised in Hannibal.  But, I have spent a good part of my life in Colorado also.  It has been difficult to watch the devastation of the Waldo Canyon and High Park Fires on the Front Range of Colorado knowing the thousands of family and friends that are being affected...
