It is necessary to book the camping appointment as early as you can, or there will not be a satisfactory camping spot left. Me, my husband, my daughter, as well as our dog started to like going camping 6 years ago in Winnipeg. The camping site which I liked most is located at Birds Hill provincial park in Winnipeg. Enjoying the night star sky and walking the dog in the quiet woods in the early morning are my favorite camping stuff. As Birds Hill Park campsite is a popular camping choice, I usually booked the reservation as soon as the campsite website was open. 2 days is the minimum camping time. Setting up and collecting the camp and canopy takes time and energy for everyone after all. It took 1 and a half hours to drive to the camping park. We filled the trunk with a tent, a canopy, sleeping bags, a cooler, enough disposable tableware, as well as enough food. There was a beach at the lake in the park. It was a great place where everyone can enjoy water fun. My husband and my daughter pretty much like going to swim in the lake on a hot afternoon. Next, it was great to enjoy the barbeque after the lake fun. We sat around the barbeque pot and ate amazing kabab. When it was sunset, we started a fire beside the tent. Then I brought the prepared marshmallow, strung the marshmallow on sticks and barbecued them. A couple of minutes later, it was time to enjoy the delicious marshmallow together. The camping experience impressed me very much and it also made me love outside activities.
