Last week,my family and I went camping in the Lake District National Park for two nights.At first,I
worried we'd be alone in the middle of nowhere."How will we wash,and go to the toilet?"I asked my
dad.Dad laughed,and explained,"We can't camp anywhere in a national park,we have to use special
campsites(野营地).”
As we drove closer to the Lake District,green hills started coming into our eyes.Our campsite was
right by a large lake,and the views()amazed us.The lake was surrounded by all mountains,and the
water was so still and clear.
The campsite had clean showers,toilets and a small shop.We planned to put up our tent next to the
lake.It was our first time camping.Mum and Dad had bought a new tent just for this trip,so putting it up
was our first challenge.It took a while,especially since we mixed up the tent poles()at first!
That night,we cooked supper on our camping stove,and it tasted surprisingly good.We sat outside
by the lake eating,listening to the gentle sound of the water.The sky was clear,so when it got dark,we
saw thousands of stars.Their reflections()twinkled in the lake,and with the tall dark mountains all
around,it felt like a really special place.I wanted a campfire,but Mum said we couldn't because the dry
weather for weeks made the park worry about forest fires.
The two nights went by so quickly.We had a wonderful time,and none of us were ready to go when
we had to pack up.After packing everything into the car,Dad walked around our tent,staring at the
ground.
