Camping

If you and your family are looking for an outdoor adventure, then camping is the perfect way to get away from it all. With so many different places to choose from, it can be hard to decide where to go. We did a little bit of research and found two amazing spots that offer a unique camping experience for you and your family. Whether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an action-packed adventure, these two locations will surely provide the perfect escape. 

Let’s start with Lake Louisa State Park; this is the perfect spot for the two types of campers: you can set up your tent or rent their glamping tents that offer a more luxurious experience. Here you will be able to go canoeing, kayaking, biking, and more. They also have educational activities for the kids. 

Then, we have Rainbow Springs State Park. This spot is for the adventurer at heart since all campsites are hike-in only, so bear that in mind if you choose this option. However, this beautiful spot is along the Rainbow River, the perfect place for any aquatic activity: snorkeling, tubing, and kayaking. 

Grab your gear and explore the great outdoors!
