[QUOTE="moondawg, post: 4931420, member: 1412"] I'll offer a few tips. *ALWAYS bring rain gear. Rain jacket, rain pants/overalls, and waterproof shoes/boots. If you bring it, it probably won't rain. If you DON'T bring it, the chances of rain increase exponentially! Get a tent that has at least some mesh siding. This will offer a little ventilation. Currently I have the 4 man Alps Mountaineering tent. It's a dome tent that has two doors, and two ventilation ports at the top, to allow for moisture/condensation to escape. It also has plenty of room for gear inside the tent. Get a canopy to place over the picnic table. It will come in handy when (not if) it rains. Invest in a good sleeping bag. Down is good and warm, but you have to be careful to NOT get it wet. Synthetic bags are also warm, but a little heavier. Since you're car camping, weight should'nt be a big deal. I'd also invest in a sleeping bag liner--it will help keep sleeping bag clean, dry, etc. It will also add a few degrees of warmth when it's cold. I don't camp that much in the heat, because I don't like the heat. I just cannot sleep well at night, so I just avoid camping when it's hot. [/QUOTE]
