Camping is getting away from the busy life and exhausting daily schedules. The people who indulge in this activity are called Campers. Campers enjoy being close to nature and do not bother about luxury of a hotel or comforts of a home. They are adventurous and ready to spend their nights in a forest, away from civilization. Camping has become quite popular in last couple of years due to highly mechanical routines / schedules of people. Age / gender is no bar for campers. One just needs to decide when and where to camp.

A campground could be a forest area, a park, a privately owned property, or a river side which is away from civilization. Today's campground sites have various comforts attached to them like ready tents, recreational games to play, pack-in beds, portable chairs, satellite phones [thought completely avoidable].

It is a home outside home. Other vehicles that are usually used for camping are bicycles, boats, canoes, etc. Tent Camping is one of the most cost effective way of Camping.
