Let's start with great activities you can do which wont cost too much. The first is treasure hunting, it will cost you about 90 simoleons to hire the metal detector but you may make that up quickly by finding cash, or better still, by finding a souvenir. Tom West found a treasure chest while searching the camping site. One of the best activities is the fishing. This is a family activity and while earning fun points they also score social points.

However another great way to improve fun points is by hiring a remote control boat, this will cost you 15 simoleons and you have until your Sim wants to do something else or you fill your fun bar. This is great value for money and if more than one Sim is at the pond they gain social scores.

But all these activities plus the sleeping in the tent all seriously reduce your comfort levels, to combat this take some time out during the day to relax in some reclining chairs.

To feed your sims you will need to have BBQs but don't forget to have a picnic at some time, it will cost you 99 simoleons but it's a great family activity.

If you maintain a good mood through out your stay, find some souvenirs and participate in some group activities, like around the camp fire, then you might be in line for a special award. In this case the West family won the Golden Pinecone to take home.

I hope this gives you some ideas on how to have a great camping holiday.
