My Perfect CampsiteWritten by Chuck Fitzgerald
Continued from page 1
So where is my perfect campsite? I won’t tell you exactly, but it’s at 7,600 feet elevation just 10 miles from south entrance to Grand Canyon and is only 3 miles from pavement. It sits in Kaibab National Forest amidst countless Ponderosa Pines, has very few insects and cannot be seen from dirt road which is only 200 feet away. The area has an abundance of elk, deer, firewood and natural running water. From a nearby hill I have a great view of Grand Canyon. I’ve camped here many times and I don’t think anyone else has used this spot in past ten years. Now that’s perfect! Perhaps your perfect campsite has a swimming pool, electricity, a convenience store, a club house and sewage hookups. That’s awesome. Camping takes on different looks for different folks and key to getting most out of your outdoor times is knowing what you like and going after it. Do a little research before heading out and be sure to go take along someone you care about. You’ll be guaranteed to have a great time. Use this information and you’ll Get It Right The First Time. Get Outdoors!
