Many campgrounds and state parks have laundry facilities, but they can be expensive because let’s face it, they have a captive audience. In some cases, the machines are not well maintained so you may find your clothes do not come out as clean as you would like. So here are a few tips to help get the best results:
*Bring along all the supplies needed from home:
Spot pre-treatment stick or spray
Environmentally friendly laundry soap
Scrub brush
Bins for washing and rinsing
Clothes line and clothes pins
Bring plenty of change if you plan to use the machines
*For families with kids, make doing laundry a game:
Purchase googles for each child
Bring along a large package of water balloons
Fill the balloons with water and laundry soap – not too much though
Have your kids put on their dirty clothes
Let the water balloon washing fight begin
Rinse each child thoroughly with water
Hang the clothes to dry
