Waterfront Camping
by Capt. Dan Berg

Camping is perhaps one of the most enjoyable outdoor family activities. For the most part camping is an affordable way to enjoy the great outdoors. My concern when picking a camping destination is always "how close is it to water". The reason is that any water will only add to the camping trips enjoyment. For example while camping in PA we were able to go on a canoe trip and go white water rafting. Other trips with campsites near lakes allowed the kids to enjoy some fishing. Even small ponds provide fun for all. In NH I got up each morning and went metal detecting at the small lake swimming hole. My kids came along and went swimming while I walked around with my metal detector. Everyone had fun and I found a couple pieces of gold. Even better is sitting around a camp fire while watching the sunset across a beautiful lake.

 

Combine your enjoyment is any water sport by combining it with camping. We now use the boat to travel to remote camp sites. Friend trailer their bass boat when camping and others strap a canoe or kayack to the cars roof before heading away for the week end.

 

Below you will find links to a variety of waterfront campgrounds. You can find lakefront, riverfront and even beachfront camping opportunities for both tent and RV camping.

Comfortably house the entire family on camping trips with the Columbia CB-9000 Cougar Flats two-room tent, which can sleep six to eight people. For privacy, install the room divider to create 2 separate rooms, or quickly remove the curtain to create one large living area. It also includes two large bay windows for extravagant views. The tent provides a heady 86-inch center height and features a 1200 millimeter double-coated fly, sealed seams, and a polyethylene tub floor. The reflective zipper pulls make it easy to get in and out of the tent - even in the dark. It comes with a strong hybrid frame system, mixing both steel and fiberglass poles.

The tent includes a remote-controlled light (with a 65-foot reach) that attaches easily for exceptional nighttime security and visibility. For even more interior storage options, use the gear loft to keep your gear high and dry. With mesh pockets and a shelf, easily stash your stuff out of the way and out of your living space. The Clean Sweep zippered floor flap makes it easy to sweep out debris. Other features include a quick-release buckle system, two hanging cup holders, a hanging shelf unit, and two organizer pockets.

The CB-9000's venting system creates a vortex that flushes hot air up through the roof, providing fresh air all night long. For maximum climate control, open or close the lower vents to feel the cool night breeze or keep warm air in. The CB-9000 features the GoBe Dry Ultimate Rain Protection System, which combines patent pending fabric, component, and seam technology that culminates in exceptional protection from the elements, in particular rain, in any and all terrain. The DryTek Fabric repels moisture with a protective coating. The DryFloor Tub design elevates the floor seams to keep away water, while the DryGuard Skirt deflects rain from the floor seams and stake loops.

Specifications:

  • Base Size: 15 x 10 feet
  • Center Height: 86 inches
  • Poles: 6 x 19 millimeter and 2 x 16 millimeter steel poles; 2 x 12.5 millimeter and 2 x 9.5 millimeter fiberglass poles
  • Weight: 54 pounds
  • Sleeps: 6-8

About Columbia Sportswear
Founded in 1938, Columbia Sportswear Company has grown from a small family-owned hat distributor to one of the world's largest outerwear brands and the leading seller of skiwear in the United States. Columbia's extensive product line includes a wide variety of outerwear, sportswear, rugged footwear and accessories. Columbia specializes in developing innovative products that are functional yet stylish and offer great value. Eighty-year-old matriarch Gert Boyle, Chairman of the Board, and her son, Tim Boyle, President and CEO, lead the company. Columbia's history starts with Gert's parents, Paul and Marie Lamfrom, when they fled Germany in 1937. They bought a small hat distributorship in Portland, Oregon, and named it Columbia Hat Company, after the river bordering the city. Soon frustrated by poor deliveries from suppliers, the Lamfroms decided to start manufacturing products themselves. In 1948, Gert married college sweetheart Neal Boyle, who joined the family business and later took the helm of the growing company. When Neal suddenly died of a heart attack in 1970, Gert enlisted help from Tim, then a college senior. After that it wasn't long before business really started to take off. Columbia was one of the first companies to make jackets from waterproof/breathable fabric. They introduced the breakthrough technology called the Columbia Interchange System, in which a shell and liner combine for multiple wearing options. In the early 1980s, then 60 year-old Gert began her role as "Mother Boyle" in Columbia's successful and popular advertising campaign. In 1998 the company went public, and moved into a new era as a world leader in the active outdoor apparel industry. Today, Columbia Sportswear employs more than 1,800 people around the world and distributes and sells products in more than 50 countries and to more than 12,000 retailers internationally.
