resort camping Winter is drawing to a close and we're planning a summer vacation in California where we want to go resort camping near the ocean. When the temperatures are over 100 in Phoenix, nothing is better than taking advantage of the cooler weather along the beach, and resort camping is a wonderful compromise between staying in a resort and camping. We love camping and staying near the ocean means we'll hear the waves break all night long, a real treat for us.

I'm leaving the task of finding a great spot to my husband while I look for a great tent for our expedition. We are looking for something with a bathtub floor so we don't drag so much sand inside. Our current tent is great for desert and mountain camping, but having been camping on the beach numerous times before, we know that beach sand is an issue. I have seen a lot of suitable tents for resort camping on the water, and am relieved about how much easier it is to find exactly what we need for this trip online than it would be without the Internet as a basis for information gathering and buying products we need for resort camping.
