Dayana A. asked:OK so I'm clueless about camping. I wanna take my kids camping. I've never been camping but I want them to do things I never have done as a child. Camping seems easy but yet so hard. Can anyone help? what are close place to go camping. Is there camp sites I can go to? I don't wanna be in the middle of nowhere. Maybe somewhere we can see some other campers. Idk What should I expect? I'm I going to get eaten by a bear? Someone please help me.Lisa S. replied:ridgway park at the walk-in tent sites (if in tent), otherwise nice rv sites up in the same area, on (i think it is elk ridge- and not as buggy as pacochupuk) above the visitor center is great. there are bathrooms/showers (great for first-time), and lots for kids to do including jr ranger programs, the swim beach, fishing, the visitor center interpretive stuff, tepees, etc. would definitely recommend something like this as a first experience as it is easier on everyone (and not too far from home, supplies...) call the park about reserving a spot. https://www.facebook.com/RidgwayStatePark?fref=ts
