How do you organize a camping trip?

I know nothing about camping and want to organize a trip. How do I find a camp site? What other things should I consider? Is there a fee? What do I need for the trip? Thanks.

Answer
If you go to a campground, there is usually a fee. In NY, that fee runs about $20 / night for a state campground.

I typically make reservations online. The website http://www.reserveamerica.com/ handles the reservations for many campgrounds. I know the sites I go to in New York are handled through reserve america.

In terms of what you need, you will minimally need:

Tent,
Sleeping bags
Mats or mattresses unless you are ok with a harder surface to sleep on
Camp stove (optional but handy)
Lanterns
Flashlights
table cloths for covering the picnic tables
cooking supplies (spatula's, tongs, long forks, knives, cutting boards, silverware or plasticware, cups)
Cooler (s)
Hatchet or Ax, Saw
Hammer (pounding stakes)
Fireside chairs
Appropriate clothes and sundries

(This list could go on forever depending on how rustic or civilized you want to go)

Where is the best place to go camping in South Carolina?

Laura L.

I am looking for a place that offers both tent and camper lots. Also somewhere with good clean hiking trails and scenery would be a plus. I am a novice so something simple to start would be nice.

Answer
Table Rock. It's a little bit of a steep hike, but very much worth the effort. It's located about 30 miles west of Greenville.
