Bison meat can seem unfamiliar to many of our new campers. Most haven’t experienced it and are curious to give it a try. Often, it only takes one time eating this delicious meat to make new people fans of the taste and texture.
Bison meat is higher in moisture than other common meats and fish. It’s higher in iron while being lower in fat and calories. The meat has a somewhat stronger, sweeter flavor than these other options.
Here, in our store, we offer a wide variety of Bison meat options. Some items you can expect to see are burgers, ribs, roasts, sausage, steaks, stew meat, and hot dogs. You can also pick up some recipe books, coffee mugs, and other items to take home for yourself or as gifts for your unfortunate friends who had to stay home this trip.
It’s fun to bring your pets along when you’re camping and they think it’s fantastic, too. They love the outdoors just as much as you do. It’s good for your mood, your health, and your sense of companionship. There are a couple of things to watch out for in making sure your pet has the best experience possible when visiting a new campground.
As families get busier and life becomes more hurried we are finding the popularity of cabin camping just continues to rise. There are many advantages to a cabin rental, here at Shenandoah Hills Campground, and we think you’d love it! We have two types of cabins to choose from, each of them sleeping 4 people. 
Folding military type shovel. These are easily folded up and stored when not in use. They come in very handy when you are attempting to put your campfire out or want to move hot wood or coals. They are compact and inexpensive, one of those tools that really come in handy from time to time and if they have a built in hatchet it’s all the better.
Fire resistant gloves. You’re going to be around a lot of hot stuff at the campsite. Either the grill, a stove, or a campfire. Having a pair of these on hand will certainly save your fingers from getting burned. Keep and extra pair on hand in case one gets lost – as one glove typically does.
A headlamp. This hands-free lighting option comes in handy over and over while you are camping. Whether you are walking to the restroom at night or just wanting to read in the tent, a headlamp makes everything easier. You’ll have both hands free to hold the hands of your little ones or to work on whatever it is you are trying to do.
Extra batteries. Bring a variety of them. These days it seems most everything needs batteries and you don’t want to get caught short. Just grab a multi pack and be on your way. You’ll be glad you did.
A First Aid Kit. You can buy one pre-assembled or make your own but do bring one. At some point in your camping experience someone will need a bandage, an ice pack, an antihistamine, or a sliver removed so you may as well be prepared. Also, make sure to pack prescriptions for your family and your pets. 
We’ve all heard the jokes about making sure your awning is in, your steps are up, and your spouse is on-board before driving away from the campground. There is truth in jest, however, and these things do happen. That’s why it is smart to make a departure checklist and run through it just like an airplane pilot does. We list a few items to get you thinking about what should be on your list.
Fall is the time for warm pots of chili and stews. Pair them with warm cornbread or fluffy biscuits. It’s a cozy time of year which makes us hungry for the comfort foods of our youth. We hope your Autumn is lovely and we’ll share some recipes you can make for the family. Then just enjoy each other, and the season, around the family dinner table.
Most every camper uses sleeping bags in one way or another whether they are in a tent, an RV, or a cabin. They are often used for more than sleeping and they take a lot of wear and tear so we offer some tips on choosing the best sleeping bags for your particular needs.
It can be surprising to find how many items need air when you are camping. From the smallest of the water wings to that huge blow up mattress we know you’d rather not use your breath to get them all inflated. An air pump can be pretty handy around the campsite. You will use it for the pool inflatables, bike tires, and things you haven’t even thought about when you were packing. Below, you’ll find some tips for getting the best air pump to match your needs.
Who knows what you might end up doing with your grill this warm summer? If you choose to bring your friends or family for camping and using the grill there are a few things you need to know. First, your grill might be a mess if you had used it previously and you need to clean it. That’s where a metal grill brush comes in handy but you need to be careful about it.
The old presumption is that when you go on a road trip with children you should expect to hear a great deal of complaining. The common thought is hearing, “Are we there yet?” However, it really does not have to be that way as long as you prepare yourself with the best games that are sure to keep the kids more than entertained along the way.
