Independence Day Campground Tour

Thursday, July 1st, 2010

Bugsy and the Coleman® Repellents team “hit the road” Fourth of July week to spread the word about our line of insect repellents sold at these great retailers. The first stop was Baraboo Hills Campground in Baraboo, Wis. to meet with campers and give out free samples of our SkinSmart DEET-Free Repellent. Bugsy also raffled off some awesome Coleman gear. Check out photos from the event!

Plan Ahead

Thursday, January 7th, 2010

WIP 180It may seem a bit crazy this time of year, but it’s never too early to start planning (and reserving) your campsites for 2010.  As camping continues to increase in popularity, it’s becoming more difficult to reserve prime locations, particularly during the peak season and holidays.

Here are some Web sites that can help you research and reserve the ideal spot for the upcoming summer. Thanks to our friends at Camping Life magazine for the link.

Budget-Minded Consumers Turn to the Outdoors

Monday, November 30th, 2009

kids_tentA recent report published by the Outdoor Foundation, in collaboration with The Coleman Company, Inc., shows that Americans are turning to the outdoors in increasing numbers. The report indicates  a 7.4 percent increase in car and backyard camping last year alone!

What are the drivers behind the resurgence in camping? Current economic conditions are certainly motivating people to stay closer to home and seek out cheaper alternatives, such as tent camping. In addition, people are getting “back to the basics,” looking for recreational activities that are simple and help them reconnect with family and friends.
