FREE Iphone Apps For Camping

-
I recently purchased an Iphone and it has been a love affair since. From listening to Pandora for music on the fly, a calculator or most often used as a camera not to forget a baby sitter too. I LOVE MY iPhone!!!!

Here are a few apps I've tried and what I think about them. I will update as I can.

FREE APP:  Coleman’s Cookout Cookbook and Meal Planner 

I surprised myself by liking this one. The choices of meals are good to great and the app allows you to plan with shopping list and directions for cooking right at the campsite. Check it out for sure.

FREE APP:  Bug Spray - Ultrasonic By Apptomic LLC

OK the ratings are not high on this one. But just to be curios I'm trying it this Spring. It claims to have a high frequency tone that has an effect of repelling insects. RIGHT?

Hurts My Daughters Ears
by Mommy's itunes account
Be Careful! My 8 year-old daughter cried when we made this app active. Some children can hear this and it really hurts. This may, very well, be an effective bug deflector, but please be careful if you have young children.

FREE APP:  Pandora Radio

Radio is your own free personalized radio now available to stream music on your iPhone. Just start with the name of one of your favorite artists, songs or classical composers and Pandora will create a "station" that plays their music and more music like it.

  
I am looking forward to using my iPhone on my next camping trip. I know I will use the Pandora which will be different for me as I have always been the NO MUSIC box on the campsite kind of a girl. But with every song at my finger tips and the ability to tun it way down I can see enjoying some Cuban jazz while cooking oh yeah!. I will try the Bug Spray app but feel skeptical already. The flash light is a definite. The cooking app I'm going to give it a try for a small trip.

First Camptrip Review

Camping was both good and well as usual a learning experience. I've come to decide a few things:   Bring what makes you comfortable without bringing too much I like my camp kitchen set up and don't need to buy anything bigger I don't like the laundry basket idea, I couldn't find anything and prefer the compartments of a duffel bag I'm not into rainy camping when it comes time to pack up. Everything is wet and dirt is stuck to it    Camping with my 5 year old daughter is awesome A truck would make camping easier Bears are fairly harmless but even though I know I don't have to worry about them my instinct says don't sleep the first night I camp. And it's always a thrill to see them. I love my $3 purchase from the thrift store it's very useful as a seat or side table Three days or more of camping makes packing up more tolerable We LOVE smoores with cookies Using a wine box to roll up newsprint for making a fire was a

Rock Art: Draw a line or spiral with a long stick and collect rocks and pine cones - place on the line in a pattern. Show them a picture of “The spiral Jetty” by Robert Smithson.   Camp Kitchen: Collect cooking gear from the thrift store, see if you can find items on small scale, find a flat rock, log or camp bench and draw in chalk a stove top (two circles with an “X”) Fill a pitcher of water and tell them to go to town making mud pies and cooking them. (keep mud away from where people walk). Rock & Stick Art: Hunt for sticks and rocks then paint with washable tempera   Pine Cone Critters: Glue small rocks, sticks onto pine cones to make different figures. Tacky glue works best.   Hide & Seek an old stand by.   Bug Hunt with a bug jar.   Hopscotch: Use a long sticks to make squares in dirt & small rocks to throw.   Beading: $1 store good for this, I like using a tray or baking sheet to contain everything.   Journal: Glue, t

Bliss by Gary O'Toole Location – Directions 17 miles south of Tahoe City on Highway 89, a couple of miles north of Emerald Bay Tahoma Latitude/Longitude: 38.9851 / -120.1304 Phone: 530-525-7277 Reservations: 800-444-7275 Click Here Even though this park gets a 10 rating from most of the camping books, many campsites are on slops that are rocky or are small. I would rate this place a 5 or a 10 depending on where you’re parking your tent. I love the beach access at this park and a few nice sites sit facing the water. You pay extra for that though and no dogs on beach here, not even on leash. However early rise and sunset ball throw worked for us just fine. The beach is BEAUTIFUL and it’s the beach that makes this campground great. If you want to book a good site you will nee
