I'm looking forward to getting out too, I've got a few sites bookmarked, with fishing either onsite or nearby. I don't backpack anymore, I'm more of a leisure camper these days and it won't be till May at the earliest, I'm done freezing my bits off and watching the rain.;)

Same here Sally. It will just be me and the mutt going. The wife says she'll never camp out again. I'm looking forward to going camping this spring. This past week about 3-5 feet of our snow pack melted off leaving only about 2-4 feet to go. Ice out on some of our mountain lakes isn't until late June or early July so I still have awhile to wait to get in to some of our higher lakes. But there are plenty of lower elevation places to go when the snows gone. Ice is off most of our creeks now due to flooding, but they're too high and muddy for fishing. I usually go by ATV, Jeep or on foot when I camp out. Years ago I used horses a lot, and will again soon.
 
I have to say, that every time I've gone camping, it's been out in the woods, not a campground, etc. (and generally, a good hour away from civilization of any sort, or even a business). Most was in Alaska, as a kid, but any other was as an adult, in Florida.

Another good tip...extendable camping fork (so great for cooking over an open fire).

Another: Rolled up piece of wire mesh, makes a great grill, when sandwiched between flat rocks. (and easy to pack)
 
I've noticed now, among some people (not from around here) that they refer to "primitive camping" whereas we just called it "camping".

Generally when I camp, I don't want to see anyone. If I see people, it's not really camping, just "going to the lake", where there are lots.

I don't feel the need to start knapping stones, but I don't want to be "at home" either.
 
Last time I went camping with "friends", the guy played LOUD thrasher rock music until 1 am. To hell with that!
