My name is Mary Benlan and I would love to help you with your family camping trip!
Any parent or grandparent knows that camping with a young child can make everything more difficult.
The added equipment alone is daunting- but my husband and
I seem to have it down. If you are interested in camping in U.S. or want to take a baby or child camping, this is the spot for you! The camping info here is not for
the hard-core enthusiast. This is for the family on a road trip and focuses on easy access to camping, supplies, and short hikes (under 10 miles).

Take a peek at the Camp-A-Roo Database!
This database is designed to provide information on recreation sites in the USA and Canada. These entries are quite detailed - not just a list of park names and phone numbers.
Click here to come search it!

The database now contains lots of information on private campgrounds.

Your camping web page should be here!
If you have a web page describing a specific camping area
