It has all facilities you need. The Normandy Farms has a history of ~250 years before it becomes a popular camping resort of nowadays. It has everything you need for the joy of being away: 3 outdoor pools, 1 indoor pool, 2 hot tubs, 1 sauna, a fitness center, a recreation lodge… It has a creative arts center if you or your kid(s) like art work; it has free wifi everywhere and a business/information center if you have to check your emails or work while you are supposed to stay away mentally as well as physically. It has a volleyball court, basketball court, a soccer field and a golf course! In the end, the best of all is the beautiful Nature.

It is beautiful. I will just let the pictures speak here.

It is well located. It is only 30 miles away from Boston, so besides all the fun close by, you can grab what Boston has to offer on the side.

Normandy Farms is truly the destination if you get a few days off and are ready to have fun with your family.

You can reserve online here, call 866-673-2767 x1 or email camp@normandyfarms.com.

Nebraska has some of the finest state parks in the nation. Their parks are frequently on Top Family Campgrounds list such as Reserve America’s annual list of the country’s Top 100 Family Campgrounds.

Nebraska state parks that rank among the Top 100 Family Campgrounds are Eugene Mahoney SP, Fort Robinson SP, and Ponca SP.

Fort Robinson SP is especially interesting if you like to combine a little history and education in your family camping trip. This historic outpost served from the days of the Indian Wars until after World War II. Where else can you find a site with history of events such as the 1879 Cheyenne Outbreak, stories and death of famed Sioux Chief Crazy Horse, a cavalry remount station, K-9 dog training center, POW camp and beef research station?

Today, the State Historical Society offers a museum and many restored or reconstructed exhibit buildings to interpret the Fort's history. The University of Nebraska operates the Trailside Museum, which interprets the geology and natural history of the region.

See a video of Fort Robinson SP below:

Do hot springs and camping go together? There are many highly developed resorts built around a hot spring. Rather expensive and uppity, not the most welcoming to a sweaty, hungry camper looking for a place to soak.

The Mystic Hot Springs in Utah is much more affordable and developed for campers. A day-visit soaking costs $7.50. A campsite is $15 per night (soaking included). And an RV site with hookups is $30 per night (soaking for two included).

The water comes out of the ground at a steaming 168 degrees (Fahrenheit). The water, cooling as it travels down a channel, runs into eight personal soaking tubs and two pools. As the hot mineral water purifies your body, the inspiring view overlooking the Sevier Valley purifies your mind.

When you're not soaking your stresses away, the countryside offers plenty of opportunity for outdoor recreation. In the Sevier Valley, you can go river rafting, visit a salt mine, or explore Indian ruins. There are also miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.

Reason #10. You have tried everything else to peel the kids (or the hubby?) away from the TV and Xbox. One thing I learn as a parent, when I yell, "Turn that TV off!" I need to provide an alternative. Kids can't substitute TV for vacuum. Gotta give them something to occupy their active minds like Surviving in the Wilderness.

Reason #9. You can't remember the last time you gazed at the stars. It's time to see the Big Dipper beyond the printed page.

Reason # 8. The only bird chirping you have ever woken up to is the cuckoo clock in the living room.

Reason # 7. Ten years from now, when your kids lament to their therapists that you were absent in their lives, you can show videos and pictures of your family camping experience.

Reason # 6. Food tastes better outdoors. I'll tell you about the Baby Weber Grill at another time.

Reason # 5. Its affordable. You can buy very nice camping gear with the equivalent of a couple nights hotel stay. And you get to keep the gear. (Its like owning your own home instead of renting).

Reason # 4. Enjoy the inheritance that was saved for you. In 1916, your grandparents and mine made a commitment to preserve, protect and share the natural beauty of this land through the National Park Service. When was the last time your eyes feasted on the natural beauty of our [tag/]national parks[/tag]?

Reason # 3. Camping is so easy today. Down-filled sleeping bags, 10-minute-set-up tents, instant fire starters, and yes, that Baby Weber Grill. Today's camping equipment is easy enough for the beginner campers.

Reason # 2. There are many ways to camp, so you can choose what suits you best. There's rustic cabin camping, car camping, luxury camping such as at the Adirondacks, RV camping and backpacking. Start with something you are comfortable with. Chances are, you'll explore other more adventurous camping with time.

Reason # 1. You have never gone camping before. Well, then you absolutely have to go camping this year. Do it before you are set in your ways. Do it before you take yourselves too seriously. Do it before the kids leave the nest. Do it before you can't do it. In other words, just do it.
