Not every camping trip has to be a weekend-long affair. If you just want to get out, see the stars, and sit around a campfire you can go (pretty much) any night of the week-even if you have to work the next day! You may not find the best campground you've even been to, but you still get the relaxing, natural experience that camping provides.

1. Go online and find 3-5 campgrounds within an hour and a half of your home (or however long you're willing to drive). If you can make reservations and you know where you want to stay, great. If not, having multiple campground options ensures that you'll have a good shot at finding a site.
   
2. Toss your gear in the car. All you need is a pillow, sleeping bag and ground pad (or Thermarest) for each camper; a tent, flashlight or two and a few camping chairs. If you happen to have firewood and matches at home bring those along. And don't forget to bring your dog camping with you if he likes the outdoors!
3. Start driving. Get away from your house and the city (if you live in one). Get your friends and/or family excited about going camping! Don't spend too much time preparing for the trip, or it'll seem like too much work. Get on the road within 30 minutes of starting your campground search.
   
4. Stop at a grocery store along the way. After you've driven about 30-45 minutes, take a break from driving and stop at a grocery store. Grab the essentials and anything else you want. This may include graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate (s'mores anyone?); firewood, a newspaper and a lighter or matches; wine or beer; food for dinner (a pre-cooked chicken and a couple of sides from the deli is a great choice...don't forget plastic forks and knives!). If you have any of this at home, bring it along, but don't spend too much time planning meals out.
   
   You can also buy some breakfast bars, but remember that you're only staying one night (and you might need to be at work by 9am). Just grab a coffee or muffin from a Java Stand on the way home.
