Randall Camgrounds Lyrics

>> During the summer, I spend a lot of time camping in the mountains near my house. It's a great way to spend time with family. I usually reserve a campsite at a campground in the canyon, but you can try your luck without a campsite reservation and hope you can find a non-reservable site that is available on a first-come, first-serve basis. In most cases, we look for a campsite that has a lot of shade from the sun, is near a water source, has a good fire pit, and has a good spot to pitch a tent. Once we select a site, we unload our gear from the car, set up our tent, and start a fire to prepare dinner. Building a fire isn't difficult if you have the right tinder and wood to get it going. After dinner, we sometimes sit around the fire and tell stories or sing songs. Before we go to bed, we make sure to put out the fire and put away any food and garbage left out. Otherwise, animals including bear might stop and visit our campsite during the night.
Part II: Discussion

What camping opportunities are available in and around your hometown? How do you go about making campsite reservations? What are some commonsense rules for keeping safe while camping?

Part III: Online Investigation

Suppose your are preparing to go camping a couple of days in a famous US national park like Zions National Park in Utah, or Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Search online to find out how you can reserve a campsite at one of these locations or one of your own choice. What are the campsite facilities like? Are there any restrictions on what you can do and bring into the park? Are pets allowed?
