History, Literature, And Creating A Truly Memorable Family Vacation

Here is a great idea for family vacation that combines literature, history and camping.

Have you always wanted to visit Gettysburg?

Start by having your family read the novel The Killer Angels, the book that won the 1975 Pulitzer Prize. Written by Michael Shaara, this book takes you in the moment-by-moment events in the three days of battle in Pennsylvania from the perspectives of several different soldiers who were there, both North and South.

Read the book and then go visit the battlefield on a gettysburg camping vacation.

Taking this advice, as a family, you are reading one of the great pieces of 20th century literature, exploring history by actually being there, and then having some great family togetherness while saving money by taking advantage of pa rv camping and staying at one of the great pennsylvania RV Parks.

Reading the book will give your visit to Gettysburg added depth, background -- and enjoyment.

Is There Such A Thing As 'Luxury Camping'?

In a recession like this one, camping many seem like an economical way to save a planned summer vacation that otherwise could be too unaffordable.

But camping, even with an RV, can sound a bit too "roughing it" for a family to really be able to relax and have a good time.

Is there really such a thing as "resort" camping? If you check out this rv park north Carolina, you might be convinced there is.

Sycamore Lodge is an rv park nc that boasts a lot of resort-style amenities, such as a pool and Jacuzzi, boating, nature trails -- even free wireless Internet service at the lodge.

One of the nc rv parks, Sycamore Lodge is located 70 miles from Raleigh and 90 miles from Charlotte and is near the famous and professionally played Pinehurst Golf Courses.

And getting back to economy, right now Sycamore Lodge is offering three days and two nights of free camping.

You might not have considered camping -- or even North Carolina -- as an ideal family vacation, but that sounds just like what it could be.

Camping At Gettysburg: A Great Family Vacation

Now that the new year is here, thoughts may now turn to what to do for a family vacation this year. Those thoughts may be more difficult this year because of the tough economic times.

That's why gettysburg camping might be a great suggestion.

We all know Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, as the historical site of one of the most important battles of the American Civil War. The battlefield offers many great opportunities -- but there is also much more to enjoy there, as well.

For example, my family and I visited Gettysburg last fall for a really fun ghost tour by train. We learned many of the spooky ghost stories of Gettysburg -- where more Americans died in three days than died in all of the years of the Vietnam War.

You could add to your family togetherness by arriving at by recreational vehicle. You may find that rv camping gettysburg and pa rv camping creates a way for your family to bond, still have a great vacation but also save money on accommodations as well as cut expensive air fare out of the equation.
