It's spring and the mosquitoes are flying. Keeping them away from your site is key to sitting outside comfortably. You can do that, of course, by spraying chemicals or you can carry a few pots of flowers that will do the same thing. Flowers that work on keeping mosquitoes and other insects away are:
Floss Flower
Citronella Plant
Citronella Grass
Peppermint
Lemon Balm
Lavender
Catnip
Basil
Mint
Citrosum
Sage
Marigolds
Lemongrass
Petunias
Rosemary
Garlic
Lemon Thyme
Crane's-bill
Eucalyptus
Scented Geraniums
Chrysanthemums
Allium
Wormwood
Ageratum
Pennyroyal
Citronella Geranium
Surround yourself in pots or raised beds if your campground allows them and you will find that you can live comfortably in your outside world.
