Gifts for Campers and Glampers
It’s that time of year again. Time to start thinking about gifts for your favorite camper or glamper. I have scoured Amazon and have found my favorites gifts for those on my list that love to camp whether it is in a tent or a camper. Dutch Oven One of our essentials when camping is the Dutch Oven.

I wasn’t for sure what it was, but I knew I needed it. I also knew he wasn’t going to sell $450 worth of popcorn to earn it, so I bought it on Amazon to try out.
