Hi all!
Buried in another thread, Janet asked some good questions that never got answered, and I too am curious about the answers. Here's her post...
My family and I are planning on camping on Flamenco beach in February. For those of you who have camped there before and enjoyed it....a few questions,
-are bugs an issue? I mean more than screens on your tent and bug spray at dusk? (I love the idea about sewing sleeping bags out of sheets)
-is security an issue? I know the island is safe but what about belongings etc at your camp site?
-Does one have to make a reservation in advance at the campsite? What is the latest one can arrive at night to set up camp?
-are there plenty of kids at the campground or mostly adults?(my kids are 11 and 13-any other recommendations for them?)
-what to do people generally do for food and food preparation(eg is there a bbq pitt vs bringing own cookstove vs buying from local venders etc). I am hoping not to lug too much for a 1 week trip.
-how likely is it to rain for prolonged periods of time(like more than a hour here or there)in Febuary...is rain gear advisable or is it a don't worry
Can't wait to hear more!
thanks,
janet
