Camp ideas
Six ways to use a long weekend well.
When the calendar opens up but the imagination doesn't, pick one of these prompts and pack accordingly.
Fireside slow-cook weekend
Two nights, one cast-iron, no agenda. Bring root vegetables and a paperback.
2 nightsEasy
Astronomer's overnight
Pick a moonless weekend, a dark-sky preserve, and watch the milky way roll over the ridge.
1 nightEasy
Forest immersion
Three days inside the canopy. Hammock pitched between two cedars, books, no phone.
3 nightsModerate
Ridgeline traverse
A linear hike between two trailheads with shuttles arranged in advance. Earned views.
2 nightsStrenuous
Slow morning camp
Drive in, set up by noon, three coffees, one lake swim, one fire. Rinse, repeat.
1 nightEasy
Map-and-compass loop
Leave the GPS at home. A small loop trail and a paper map make for sharper instincts.
1 nightModerate
Pack it before you plan it.
Whatever you pick, you'll need cookware, shelter, and somewhere to sit.
