Happy to be here
My wife and I were planning to take a trip to the beach the 2nd week of October. That has somehow changed. Now she wants to buy a tent, sleeping bags, and kayaks, and go camping. I'm fine with this, but I've never been camping (I know, I know, but I have to start somewhere). We were thinking of heading to Uwharrie. Or maybe Flanners Beach. We live in Thomsville, so Uwharrie is much closer. It will be just one night for this trip.
We would like to spend the day kayaking and just relaxing in the woods, don't really need any great amenities (though a bathroom is super convenient for this first trip).
Anything I need to know? What else do I absolutely need? I was going to pick up some sort of lantern. We will be taking a cooler with sandwiches and the like, so no stove is necessary for this first trip.
Also, we are set on these two locations. Any other locations that may be good for first time campers with an interest in kayaking would be fine.
Thanks.
