Go camping at a new campground in the area
Camping is the traditional thing to do for Memorial Day weekend, so of course, we’re going to mention it. If you want to switch it up, why not try a campground you’ve never been to before? Here are some ideas for finding a new campsite.
- Hipcamp.com shows you RV and tent sites that you can rent for the weekend. Some camp spots even offer small cabins and private sites.
- Check your favorite hiking spots. Often, the places you hike will be next to campgrounds, whether you’ve realized it or not. State and county parks are a great place to start.
- Visit your favorite lakes. Many parks are situated by lakes, especially those with public swimming areas. Chances are, if you swim there, you can camp nearby.

Try out some unique recipes this Memorial Day weekend
For those of you planning to grill, we have a few ideas for how you can switch it up. Of course, there’s nothing wrong with the traditional affair, but these ideas provide something different. You can always do both.
- Carrot hot dogs: Ok, we admit that carrot hotdogs sound strange, but if you happen to have a bag of carrots, there’s no harm in trying them. You can find multiple recipes online, but they usually call for marinading the carrots for a while, so be sure to plan ahead.
- Homemade burgers: Instead of buying your burgers, why not make your own? (Or both, just in case.) If you don’t like touching raw meat, you can try a healthy alternative like this lentil burger.
- Veggie skewers: Veggie skewers can add some color to your grill. If that’s nothing new for you, you can switch it up by trying unique vegetables. Try adding pineapple, mushrooms, or brussel sprouts.
