BEFORE YOU GO
WHETHER YOU’RE NEW TO CAMPING OR YOU’VE DONE IT BEFORE, EACH TRIP CAN PRODUCE SURPRISES. IN THIS SECTION YOU’LL FIND TOP TIPS ON HOW TO PLAN FOR YOUR CAMPING TRIP, FROM DECIDING WHERE TO GO TO CHOOSING WHAT EQUIPMENT TO BUY AND WHICH CLOTHES TO TAKE WITH YOU.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF CAMPING
Traditional camping involved the sky above, the grass below, and the trees in front of the intrepid explorer who rocked up at their secluded spot with the bare minimum of equipment to see them through to the morning. But as camping has become more and more popular, thankfully it can cater not just to the intrepid explorer but the cautious vacationer—and anyone in between. Whether you want your camping trip to be a glamorous affair or as gritty as the soil beneath your feet, you can tailor your experience to suit your needs. Here are just some of the different types of camping to try out:
CAMPGROUND CAMPING
Campgrounds are the perfect venues for families or couples who are equipped with either a tent or a camper. You can even take your furry friend as a lot of sites are dog-friendly! Many campgrounds may refuse to cater to large groups of friends, and bachelor and bachelorette parties, so always check with the campground before you book. Basic campgrounds comprise a section of land to pitch up on, and usually provide shower and toilet facilities. Swankier campgrounds also provide entertainment areas, restaurants, bars, and childcare.
FESTIVAL CAMPING
Many people’s first experience of camping is at a mainstream festival, where the atmosphere is constantly buzzing and the noise never dies down. This type of camping is very different from others, so don’t be put off from camping altogether if you didn’t enjoy it. If a big festival seems a bit daunting but you like the idea of attending something similar, there are tons of smaller-scale festivals that provide a lot more privacy—some even cater specifically to families.
GLAMPING
If you’re a newbie to camping, why not start off with glamping, as it’s a great way of being at one with nature while being guaranteed a comfortable night’s sleep in a proper bed? Glamping accommodation comes in all forms: yurts, tepees, safari tents, and treehouses, to name a few. These are typically popular for groups of bachelors or bachelorettes, but also perfect for families and couples that are looking to escape from it all without having to buy all the camping equipment or worry about where to go to the bathroom.
WILD CAMPING
Essentially, wild camping is camping wherever you please in the countryside. However, every country has its own rules and regulations, so you must check them out before you set off, as you could be penalized otherwise. Here is a list of some countries and their wild camping laws:
United States —Wild, or backcountry, camping is allowed in most United States national parks. However, each park has different rules and regulations for those who want to escape the regulated campground experience. Visit the website for the National Park Service ( www.nps.gov ) for rules for specific parks around the country, as well as additional camping tips and suggestions.
England, Northern Ireland, and Wales —though most landowners tolerate respectful wild campers, wild camping without permission from the landowner is not allowed in any region apart from the Dartmoor National Park.
Scotland —wild camping is legal but there are guidelines that must be adhered to. Put simply, you must ensure that you’re safe and respectful, and that you leave the spot exactly as you found it. Find out more at www.visitscotland.com/accommodation/camper-camping/wild-camping .
France —the wild camping rules aren’t hugely clear, although it’s understood that with the landowner’s permission it is generally accepted. However, lighting fires isn’t allowed and you must set off before 9 a.m. the next day.
Greece —wild camping is illegal here.
Norway and Sweden —based on allemannsretten (the right to roam), these countries allow ramblers free rein to open country, and wild camping is encouraged as long as you’re approximately 164 yards away from the nearest building and stay no longer than two nights if
