Camping in the fall can be so much more magical with all of the changing leaves, a cozy fire, and a warm sleeping bag. The summer crowds are gone, as are those pesky bugs. The East Coast of America is full of beautiful places to camp this fall! These five camping spots are perfect for the adventurous fall camper!  Dry Tortugas National Park- Florida  Dry Tortugas National Park , accessed by ferry from the coast of Key West , is one of the most scenic primitive camping destinations in the world. The 100-square-mile national park features seven picturesque islands. Come to the campground prepared, because you have to bring everything you need (including toilet paper and water). However, the pristine beaches, crystal-clear water, abundant marine life and fluorescent coral reefs will make you forget about the lack of facilities in no time.

Growing up in the Southern part of the United States has definitely got its perks. Everything from spur of the moment adventures, to delicious homemade cuisines, and that sweet Southern Charm everyone talks about the South has so much more to offer than a thick accent and a camouflage hat. That is why you don't want to miss out on these Southern cities, and everything they have to offer.  Durham, North Carolina Durham is one of the most unique towns, not just in North Carolina but in the South, thanks to incredible food, a relaxed vibe, and cool warehouse buildings (this is an old tobacco city). It’s full of perfect spots to enjoy nature, listen to local bands, and taste finely brewed beer. Durham’s Brightleaf Square is a hub for restaurants and shops, housed in renovated tobacco warehouses. If you love food trucks (and Durham helped snowball the trend, with its Food Truck Rodeo ), the city has some goodies: Pie Pushers , Chirba Chirba Dumpling, and Only Burger . If...

August is practically here, which for many means going off to college, taking kids back to school, and soon enough fall will be here. Swimming holes, trips to the beach and sun bathing will become a distant memory of an adventurous summer during the winter months. Before the summer is over, I challenge everyone to do at least one (preferably all) of things on this bucket list worthy list of things to do before the summer comes to an end!!  Go Camping! (DUH)  My summer has been filled with adventure because of a simple tent, a sleeping bag, and sleeping in the woods. Camping disconnects you from the stress of everyday life, and brings you closer to nature, which goes a long way in building a stronger mental and physical self. Put your dog on a leash, get your best friend to go with you, and enjoy a few days in a nearby state park, or for even more adventure go somewhere totally new and camp there! Just be sure to tell someone where you are going, and when to be expect...

Hey everyone I just wanted to take the time to say thank you to everyone who has shared my posts, regularly view this site, and overall helping me grow as a writer, an outdoors(wo)men, and most importantly by supporting my site you are showing me that I made the right decision, and will continue to work hard and put out content for all of my viewers!! In the first month or two that I began this site I had very limited knowledge of how to "properly" share my page on other forums and outlets. Unfortunately, a little over a month ago my Google+ account was suspended for violating some terms and conditions. :/  The main issue with that happening is that I can no longer comment on my own page.  That prevents me from communicating with ya'll on this page.   << That seriously sucks!!!! I am in the beginning stages of making and selling Outdoor Olivia T y e D y e d T-shirts on here and after that I want to start a Youtube channel! Since comments are no...

Moonshine Falls Area (4 places!) Greenville, Cleveland, SC WILDCAT FALLS : You get two for the price of one here at the Wildcat Wayside State Park. Wildcat Falls are a very popular falls, largely because they are roadside on SC 11 (the Cherokee Scenic Highway). The first falls are in two sections with a 10-foot freefall upstream and the 20-foot cascade down a slab of exposed granite into a shallow pool. About 100 feet to the left of these falls are a number of steps that ascend to a quarter-mile trail to another falls. The trail crosses just above the 10-foot free-fall on a wooden bridge and snakes its way through the woods to a 130-foot waterslide. The photo below isolates the lower portion of the slide. Be prepared to do a little boulder-climbing to reach the base of the waterslide, but please don't attempt to climb the falls themselves. To get here : Stay on RT 276/11 west for about 5 miles past where RT 11 joins RT 276 and look for a pull off (unsigned) on the right (...
