About Us

Camping for Families is written and managed by the Horton family who enjoy . . . what else? . . . camping!

We are Jon and Cindy and have three sons, Nick, James, and Robert, and one dog, Max. We began tent camping in 2006 and especially like staying at state parks in our home state of West Virginia and neighboring areas.

We spent our first family camping trip at Kanawha State Forest where we were awakened in the night by a screech owl – the first we’d ever heard! After that, we were hooked on camping and have never looked back.

Whether you’re a seasoned camper or just thinking about getting started, browse around Camping For Families where we hope you’ll find plenty of new ideas for your next camping trip.

May your next family camping adventure be full of laughter, lightning bugs, and warm campfires.
