hammocks & swimming hole makes all the difference during summer camping

went camping in the Ozarks in Arkansas at Kyle’s Landing campground and had the time of my life! The campground is down a very bumpy road so keep that in mind when driving down. I stayed for 2 days in my big Agnes copper spur tent and the weather was in the 90s and very hot and muggy.

I’ve been on a cross country road trip the past couple of weeks and I previously was camping in the Grand Canyon. I had so much fun there too but the midday July heat was definitely an obstacle and so I decided to get a hammock for my next stop. when you have a hammock you can just chill in the shade and read your book during the hot midday siesta.

when I arrived in the ozarks it was sooooo hot and muggy I was so thankful that I had chosen a campground that had a swimming hole so that I could chill in the water to cool off. the swimming hole was just a few steps away from my campsite so it was nice to be able to go back and forth whenever i pleased.

every time i go camping i learn a new tip or trick to make the experience even more fun so decided to share! cheers
