Do we not have a camping thread? If we do I couldn't find it, link me tehre and I'll delete my post 
The girlfriend has been bugging me to go camping, I've never gone, she has when she was younger. She used to spend a lot of summer's on campgrounds with her family. To me this isn't camping, I don't want my first camping experience to be on a campground. I don't want to hear/see other people.
Since I'm so inexperienced, any advice would be appreciated.
I "THINK" I have most of what I would need. girlfriend, two pitbulls, tent, sleeping bags, weapons, food. Obviously flashlights/headlamps and toilet paper. I'm not listing everything out but if I'm missing something major let me know.
I'm also open to suggestions on where to go. I'm on the northshore and I'd like to keep it within a couple hours driving distance. So western MA, NH, So. Maine all works.
Really just looking for a 1 night stay to get away and hang out at first then I'll up the stays to maybe a few days.
Flame on.
