CAMPING - Campgrounds - Developed or Primitive?
There are several options available for the camper once they reach their destination. Generally, there is group camping, primitive camping and camping in developed areas.
Group camping is reserved well in advance and is intended to host large groups or events.

Developed camping offers a few amenities, such as a tent pad, electricity, water, picnic table and a grill or makeshift fire ring. Be sure to check with the camp host as burn bans are often in place during dry, summer months.
Restrooms are generally close by.
Primitive camping is raw nature at its best! No restrooms, no fire rings, no tent pads - no nuthin! In addition, gathering firewood may be restricted.
HOWEVER, the secluded haven embedded in natural surroundings brings much peace to a weekend warrior - making primitive camping very desirable.
Be sure to take water, bio-degradable bathroom tissue, a small shovel (I wonder what this will be used for?), matches, a first aid kit and a compass at minimum. A topo map and a general map of the area should also be requested from the camp host.
