Cyndi Cogbill knows exactly what it’s like to be a single parent. Even Cyndi didn’t miss out on any family traditions that she raised her children on her own for years. After doing some research, Cyndi found several places that she felt safe and secure talking her kids to go camping.

Cyndi said “I always felt very comfortable in Missouri state parks. They have a campground watch system, prairie state park was one of my favorites because it’s a small campground and has a gate. Roaring river is also a great place..my family went there and I always felt very comfortable there.”

Once you found the nice place that puts you at ease. Your next is to gain some confidence such as how to impress your kids. She said “To seem cool to the kids..be organized, be prepared so if something does come up like rain, make sure you do have a rain fly.”
