By Abhishek Agarwal
If you are planning for great outdoors trip in a convenient,simple and inexpensive way, then it’s better to consider a truck bed tent camping for this. This type of camping (truck bed tent camping) is a new concept of camping which allows very convenient way of vacationing outdoors. This truck bed tent camping has many benefits without letting any hindrances to come your way while enjoying your outing. The cost of this kind of trip will work out between 100 to 300 dollars, which is quite affordable to get away for the camping vacation.
This is the best alternative to get away from rusting on groundsheets and also erecting a tent with weights and pegs. The truck bed tent camping is simply setting up a tent in the backside of your truck. When you stop at the campsite, you simply have to park the truck and set up a camp on the back side of your truck.
It is always exciting to sleep outdoors while on camping vacation. But when you are on truck bed ten camping, you can assure yourself a good night sleep as sleeping in truck will prevent unwanted visitors from creeping into your tent in the middle of the night and cause disturbed sleep for you. There is also an advantage of being more secure in this type of camping as your belongings will not be stolen and you do not have to sleep in separate tents. As you will be sleeping in truck bed tent camping, there is no fear of anyone stealing your camping equipments or even your truck is secure.
It might sound weird to you initially, but come to think of this, you will not have to suffer from rain sodden ground or a cold ground during the night at the campsite. You will be very much protected from all these problems while continuing to enjoy your outdoor vacation. Storage of camping supplies will also become easy when you opt for truck bed tent camping. After you use the truck bed tent, it can be folded and stored behind the driver’s seat while driving to another camping adventure.
One more interesting thing about truck bed tent camping is that you will have lot of ease in erecting your living space .Truck bed tents take only 10 to 15 minutes setting it up, which will give you more time for vacationing .Setting up the tent in the truck also depends on the kind of truck truck tent bed you have purchased for camping .You may sometimes be required to get inside of the truck to set up the tent .Keep this in mind that it is always better to practice this whole procedure before starting on to your camping trip.
Truck bed tents may or may not have floors. Both of these styles have benefits. Truck bed tents which do not have floors mean that there is no need to empty the truck before setting up the place for the night. And truck bed tents which have floors give you extra coziness and also the extra layer for insulation. Set up few air mattresses on this truck tent bed and the cozy space will be ready for you to have good sleep through out the night outside and also off the floor. The walls of the truck also provide extra protection from cold wind during the night.
These days any type of tent is available for any make of the truck. Make sure that you check the tent size with the truck bed, which should fit properly and not leave any room for any inconvenience.

Quote:
The valley of the Brazos at this place abounded with every species of timber known in Texas, grapes, plums, and other fruit were found in profusion, honey could be obtained in almost every hollow tree, trout and other fish were plentiful in the small creeks in the neighborhood, and the woods and prairies about us afforded excellent grazing for our cattle and horses, but teemed with every species of game—elk, deer, bears, wild turkeys, and at the proper season, buffalo and mustang.

Cachuma Lake Campground - A Great Camping Experience
By Christy Tuller
If you are looking for a great place to go camping, whether it is tent camping or you have and RV, you should check out Cachuma Lake Campground in Santa Barbara County. Located off Hwy 154, it is a beautiful lake that offers many activities year round. Widely known for fishing, this campground/recreation area also offers wildlife tours, hiking, boat rentals, a swimming pool, miniature golf, and so much more. There is no swimming or skiing allowed on the lake however, so keep this in mind when you go. The lake hosts fishing tournaments through-out the year, and is home to the UCSB Rowing Team.
So, now you know what the park has to offer, let me tell you a little more about it. The campground is a County run park, camping is first come first served. They do not take reservations. They have a large number of full hook-up sites for Rvers as well as partial hook-up sites. They have an even larger number of tent sites. In most cases, when you arrive they will give you a map of the campground, tell you which sites are available and you can drive around, choose the one you want and go back and pay for it. Most of the campground is dirt, they do allow campfires year-round, and they have a wonderful little store in case you forgot or run out of something. There is also a wildlife museum in the park and they occasionally host special events for kids. Prefer hiking? Try out one of the many trails available around the lake. They range from short walks to longer hikes. Maps are available at the park.
Want to see wildlife? This is the place to do it. Because the park is located in the mountains you will most definitely see raccoons and probably a skunk. Keep your trash picked up at night and the raccoons won’t be a problem. Skunks? Don’t do anything to scare them and they will leave, they are just passing through anyway. You will also see squirrels, birds, and other small wildlife. Go down by the boat launch ramp and you can feed the ducks, carp will come and eat with the ducks too if you’re lucky! You can wear yourself out riding your bike around the park on the roads leading to the various campsites. They also have Yurts for staying in if you don’t want to stay in a tent.
Cachuma Lake is located only half an hour from the Santa Ynez Valley. Day trips into Solvang, Los Olivos, and Santa Ynez are a must. There are a variety of fun shops, wine tasting, and excellent restaurants in the Valley. If you would rather go to Santa Barbara, you can head the other direction from the lake and it is about forty-five minutes or so depending on traffic. The most important thing to remember about camping there is to have a great time! Roast some marshmallows, make new friends, and catch a big fish! Enjoy Cachuma Lake and you will want to return.
