Entry bubble Great Outdoors Month

By: Colleen | June 03, 2009 | Category: Travel

To be honest, when I hear the phrase "The Great Outdoors" my first inclination is to think of the 1988 John Candy movie.

While my mother and I are firm believers that the closest we come to camping is a three-star hotel, apparently there are plenty of you out there who enjoy snuggling up with mother nature.

Those willing to bond with mosquitoes and bears, you're in luck. June is Great Outdoors Month!

Getting outdoors, especially in our nation's national parks, is a great and economical way to see the natural splendor of our country. It is also a fun way to be active- doing recreational activities like fishing, biking, and hiking.

Visit Recreation.gov to find your perfect camping site.

Have any family camping trip stories to share? Tips on having a safe and fun time outdoors?

Leave your comments; I'll check them out while I'm doing my own version of "camping" - in Vegas.

The National Park Service just announced that there will be three fee-free weekends this summer at over 100 national parks (June 20-21, July 18-19, and August 15-16).
