Summer
is creeping up on us and that means you’ll be starting to think about your
summer vacations. Will it be a beach holiday this year, a city break or an epic
backpacking trip across Europe?
If none
of those appeals or you are looking to holiday on a budget, then why not give
camping a go? It’s inexpensive, it will bring your family together, you’ll be
miles away from the hustle and bustle of modern day life and you’ll be
reconnecting with Mother Nature.
Still
not sold? Here are six reasons why you should consider a camping trip this
summer
You’ll be living off the
grid
Forgetting
about your coffee maker, your iPad and whether you’ve replied to that email
from Steve from accounts can help us relax and unwind away from the pressures
of modern life. Camping takes us off the grid, out of reach and away from the
hurly burly of the everyday.
You can learn new outdoor
skills
Camping
requires so many skills that we might not otherwise get the chance to develop with
urban living. Can you pitch a tent? Light a fire? Fish for your dinner? You
might find those basics come in handy out in the wild. For the more
adventurous, there is navigating by the stars, rock climbing or hunting for
your own dinner. Take a look at Bestriflescopereview.Com if you are planning on
going hunting.
It’s inexpensive
Once
you’ve purchased camping equipment such as a tent, sleeping bag and any food
and drinks you want to take with you, it becomes one of the least expensive
vacations you can have. You can do a camping trip foraround $800 all in – Mother Nature costs you nothing to enjoy.
It brings your family
together
There
is no age limit on who can go camping. Old or young love sitting around the
camp fire, singing songs and watching the sun go down. In a day and age where
families tend to be less close than they were, a camping vacation can bring
everybody back together – there will be nothing but you, your family and the
great outdoors.
You’ll get plenty of
exercise
Camping
is a great way to get exercise. The average hikeburns 500 calories and you can’t go camping without at least one hike. You’ll probably end
up backpacking, swimming, kayaking and playing games as well. All that time moving outside in the fresh air
is the perfect way to get some much-needed exercise into you and your family.
You’ll see parts of the
world you never knew existed
Camping
gives us a reason to visit parts of the world we never thought we would. While
a city break to somewhere like New York or Seattle involves going and visiting
the Empire State Building or the Space Needle, when you are camping you are
free to create your own unique journey and see sights and experiences sounds
that none of your friends would. It can be a truly unique experience which
creates memories to last a lifetime.

My daughter and her family love to camp during the spring and fall. I've never been much of a camper but you've given some great reasons to give it a try again.
We don't need any reasons to go camping. I do like all the reasons you gave. Love to go camping and being outdoors.
My daughter wants to camp. I'm more of a glamping person. I need a real bed and a proper meal in order to stay happy. I also prefer to not live off the grid.
Camping can really give you a better appreciation of nature. You get to be out of the grid and have a great time.
We usually go camping in the spring and in the fall. I love it because it gets us disconnected from the world and just get to know each other again. It is so fun to go camping.
I have a love hate relationship with camping. Due to my severe allergies to the greater outdoors, I can only camp during the fall or winter months, and only in an RV.
We were never the camping types but it does look like a fun way to spend time in the woods. If we had the equipment it would be a great idea.
We love to camp and plan a week with family every year. We also enjoy camping solo, it's a great way to get away from home and relax.
We've got three camping trips booked this summer! We simply cannot wait to get out in nature, do some fishing and paddle boarding and enjoy God's green earth!
My husband would like to start camping every year when our girls get a little older. I'm not so into it.. I am trying to wrap my head around days filled with mosquitos and heat.
I can't wait to take my girls camping. I know they are going to love it!
I think camping is awesome. My father used to take me and my siblings camping every summer when we were younger and it was quite a learning experience! It's really one of the best things to do when the weather permits.
Camping is not really my thing but what we love is hitting the road with an RV / Mobile home. Last year we did a massive tour through Hungary to Budapest then Croatia and Italy to Florence and Austria - was amazing. Great way to vacation.
We camp every summer. However, for us that means renting a house near a campground where the rest of our family is staying in their RVs.
We haven't gone camping in many years... Every summer though, we do stay in our camper at the family cottage property...
I always have a blast camping. That is one of my favorite activities!
Come to think of it, I haven't taken the kids camping yet. Such a great idea to take them to roughing it sometime.
