Camping 101

One of the best ways to get away from it all is to go camping. This is because camping offers a serene escape from everyday life, and it is relatively inexpensive to do. A typical camping trip can range from being completely free to costing a little over a hundred dollars, depending on what form of camping is being done. These forms of camping include: camping in a tent, camping in a cabin and camping in an RV. This article will discuss each of these types of camping, allowing the potential camper more power in determining which one is right for them.

The first and most common form of camping is camping through a tent. The cost for camping in this manner are larger in the beginning because the equipment has to be bought. However, once all of the gear has been obtained, camping in this way can range from being free, (if they use a dispersed camping ground), to being just $10 a day, (if they use a regular campground). The gear that needs to be bought usually includes: a tent, a camping stove or grill, a camping toilet and something for campers to sleep on such as sleeping bags or camping beds. So, one’s initial investment when trying to camp through a tent may be a few hundred dollars, but this cost will not be perpetual. In fact, since it’s possible to use free campgrounds, the only real perpetual cost associated with this form of camping is in the area of food and drink.
