It's so much fun to go camping

There is something really nice about being in the great outdoors and breathing in some fresh, clean air. That is what city living does to you, you see. Every now and then it is very good to leave the urban stress and pollution behind and just get out there and enjoy the bounties that nature can offer.

A great way to experience an outdoor lifestyle is by going camping, which I have always enjoyed doing. I just love camping and the freedom of being outside for most of the day. On a campsite you tend to get to know other people in a free and easy manner. People on a campsite always seem so much more relaxed, I find. And, let us face it, what is better than lying under canvas, listening to the gentle trickle of a fine drizzle as the drops hit the tent? It’s just good fun.

Another way to enjoy camping and a popular one at that is by going camping at a festival. There are lots of people who do this often and they seem very keen on this particular camping choice. Near to where I live is the town of Glastonbury where every summer the biggest pop festival in Europe is held.

This fabulous music festival invariably attracts large numbers of campers who set up their tents; camper vans and what have you and really get in to the spirit of this freedom loving festival. It is always good fun to see these colourful characters make their way to Glastonbury to enjoy some music and outdoor fun.

Of course, this being England, the weather can’t always be relied upon but, it has to be said, this never seems to dampen their spirits. That, too, is the spirit of camping; not to worry too much and just make the best of the circumstances. It’s all just part of the joy and fun of camping.
