If you love to travel, 2020 has been tough. Where you might usually hop off to a far-flung destination for a long weekend or spend all your vacation time from work sunning it up on the beach or exploring new and exciting destinations, this year has put a stop to it. While Covid has prevented the majority of us from travelling like we normally do, it doesn’t mean that it is a total loss.
Another trip that you could do instead is camping. Being closer to home and not reliant on public transport such as planes, trains, and boats, it is not only safer but less likely to get affected by any new lockdown rules and restrictions. If you are contemplating a camping holiday, here are a few top reasons to go on one…
It’s a chance to be at one with nature
When it comes to regular vacations, you are likely to choose a city destination or somewhere packed with so many sights; you don’t get a chance just to chill. And after all, a holiday should be all about relaxing and rejuvenating.
By camping, you are as far away from busy city life as possible and can spend time breathing in the fresh air, seeing nature as it is meant to be, and enjoying the sights, smells, and surroundings. There are a whole host of natural sites that you can take your time exploring, eating picnics, taking photos, and getting in some daily exercise. It’s a win-win situation!
It is cheaper than other holidays
Camping is a much cheaper alternative to other vacation choices as it only requires an upfront cost of all your camping equipment, then you can use this year after year. With regular vacations, you need to purchase your transport such as flights, your hotel, meals, activities, and drinks, and it can soon rack your costs up well into the thousands. Whether you are looking for a campervan for sale to take you from this holiday to all your subsequent ones, or for a new tent, there are so many options out there.
You can spend quality time with loved ones with no distractions
In everyday life, you don’t normally get to spend uninterrupted time with those that you love. By going on a camping holiday, you are free from all the distractions of modern-day life such as laptops, iPads, phones, and TVs and can just spend time in each other’s company. There will be plenty of chances to catch up properly, take hundreds of photos, and just enjoy a slower-paced way of life.
These are just a few reasons to make a camping trip your next vacation away. It is such a simple, easy to plan, and fun vacation that you would be mad not to do it. Grab your sleeping bag and tent, hit the open road, and see where you decide to end up, or do your research into designated campsites and find somewhere with many things to do nearby.
