Family life is BUSY! Escaping to the wilderness is a great outlet for anyone looking to tune out, but picking those spots can be a chore. Packing a bag can seem like a never ending task and convincing the kids that “this will be the best ever, makes you seem like something from a 60’s TV show!”. Yep, we have all been there.
We have this expression, camping on your own terms. To us, this is when you camp when you want, where you want and in total comfort. Our days are spent thinking of how we can make our designs better for you. Having the right gear is half the job but like we mentioned, picking a spot can be tricky.
So to make life easier, we have put together a list of some of the spots we have enjoyed over the last few years. If you have spots you want to share with us, let us know. We have just started this great affiliate programme where we work with you to figure out the ultimate camping guide/gear and knowledge sharing. Sign up today and say hi to Courteney on our team who will help you through the process.

Other recreational activities in the park include off-road vehicles routes, hiking tours, road biking and picnicking.
Lake Siskiyou Resort and Camp, California: This family campsite is located on one of the prettiest lakes in California and has superb panoramic views of Mt Shasta and the Shasta Trinity National Forest.

The City of Mount Shasta actually holds fireworks which you can watch from the lakeside.
Which tents are best for camping?
Crua’s ‘Mór’ (pronounced 'More') Series, are bigger tents which are the perfect choice for larger groups and longer stays. The tents are secure, breathable, and noise dampening, helping you to have a great night sleep, where you are cut off from nature’s elements. Also, our Crua Culla Family is an inner “cocoon”, which is made with you and your family in mind. The Culla Family sleeps 5 people comfortably and is the ideal inner tent to keep you and your family at the perfect temperature. The insulation has the added benefit of dampening the outside sounds and blocking out the light so the entire family can sleep easily.
