What's up everybody, it's Simon from LakeHub and I'm out here at Eisenhower State Park
0:04
on Lake Texoma with a camping tip for you. This is how you get the perfect camping spot the next time you go camping
0:12
So if you've never camped at a campground before, then you're flying a little bit blind
0:17
You know, sometimes they'll have pictures you can use, you know, Google Maps, Satellite
0:21
View, that sort of thing to be able to get the best sense for what camp spot to pick
0:28
At every campground I've ever been to, they hand you one of these, the Secret Map to Success
0:35
They hand you a paper map with every campsite on it. It's always paper and that's super handy
0:40
Here's why. Go through and put eyeballs on every single site. After you've been camping for a couple days, you'll want the break
0:49
Trust me, you think, don't make it a chore, make it a fun little adventure. Hey, let's go find the perfect campsite at this campground
0:58
And you take this and a ballpoint pen and you mark all the ones that would be great
1:03
for camping by yourself, the ones that would be great for camping with groups of friends
1:12
Mark all these notes. Waterfront, close to the bathroom. You can do a star system, one star, two stars, three stars
1:20
I usually X out the ones that are really bad, that have like no shade, they're in the middle
1:25
of nowhere, they have no wind. If it's just a bad spot, then just X it out
1:30
Don't ever book that spot. So when it's time to go, here's what you do
1:34
I keep a folder. I keep just a little manila envelope folder behind my seat, behind my front seat and my
1:42
driver's seat in the vehicle. And that's the camping maps folder. That's where it lives
1:50
And so as soon as you fill this out, boom, it goes in your file
1:54
Next time you go to book a campsite, pull out your file
1:57
Hey, which ones are available? Which ones do I have starred? And you are rocking next trip
2:03
You're going to have the best trip because you know that a good camp spot can make or
2:07
break your trip. If you like camping like I do, don't miss out my video on how to pick the perfect campsite
2:15
what the amenities, proximity, all that kind of stuff you need to know
2:19
And we'll catch you next time
