Why camping? ππ
Camping describes a range of activities and approaches to outdoor accommodation. Survivalists and wild campers typically set off with as little as possible to get by. Other campers might use specialized camping gear designed to provide comfort, including their own power and heat sources as well as camping furniture. Camping may be combined with hiking, as in backpacking, and is often enjoyed in conjunction with other outdoor activities such as canoeing, kayaking, climbing, fishing, and hunting.
The benefits of a camping holiday begin with the adventure. A family can go wherever they want and camp there as long as they have time. From a base camp, a family can go on nature hikes and see nature in its true habitat. They can also go to great lakes to fish or swim, and if they can find an adventure park, they can spend the day whizzing through the trees as fast as they can, which is fun for everyone.
But, this is also where the downside starts because some people like their routine and don't want it disturbed by living in a tent for a week or two.
Sometimes there are no showers and people have to use a solar shower, which is not a problem for most, but some people feel self-conscious about their bodies when using one. Toilets are another major disadvantage when a campsite does not have the facilities provided as people have to dig a hole to use them or use a communal hole which many consider worse.
For others, the freedom of being outdoors outweighs any disadvantages that come with the comforts of home like showering and using the bathroom. They also enjoy not being able to use their cell phones as they are an invasion that can ruin a vacation if someone is constantly using theirs.
Camping also keeps people away from the city's thick smog, which many consider unhealthy.
Outdoor living is nothing but fresh air, and most people consider this to be a major perk of a camping holiday.
To break it down into a list of top pros and cons, that is what Most people think of camping.

Finally, the pros and cons of a Campsite seems to be based entirely on opinion. What people need to realize is that camping can be a lot of fun as long as everyone is involved in having fun, because if someone isn't having fun, the trip is ruined. At worst, everyone likes to make a big fire and stay up late.

There is alot to one's advantage and also a lot of disadvantages too, well whatever way moderation in camping is key
Absolutely, with the mindset that too much of a good thing is actually bad and too much of a good situation can turn bad.
yeah, exactly
I can never go camping because of all the horror movies I have seen but if you don't let anybody else not go. I don't think I would ever want to change my mind because what if there's somebody in the woods trying to hunt you down ππ.. Thanks for sharing
Yeah I understand that we live in a dangerous world, too many psychopath on a rampage, but you would be fine π, besides you don't go camping alone, learn to face your fears πͺ, Fortune always favours the brave, well I believe in most cases
