Why I like to camp

I do a good amount of camping, and people sometimes ask what I find so attractive in travelling with a tent instead of staying in a proper hotel,
with a restaurant, frotte towels, and a morning cappuccino.
While I am a big fan of such comforts on the road, there is something liberating in travelling with your 'bedroom' and kitchen stowed in the boot of the car.
The freedom of not having to follow a fixed schedule, overnighting where and when you want, the beauty of the surroundings, and the near-endless
daylight hours during Scandinavian summers make for a winning combination. And few things taste like a dinner cooked in the wild on a spirit stove ...

Below is an attempt to illustrate some of these points
.

A place with a view	Moonrise	A hint of light drizzle	Full moon	Overnight on a plantation
Making a case for camping in the wild	Getting settled for the evening	Sweden's castles	Private terrace	Morning brew
Weather will make it...	... or break it - same place 12hrs later	Liliputian tent	Fascination with windmills	Fascination with windmills continued...
Location location location	Watching the regatta	Make yourself a(t) home	Cliff edge	A day at the beach
Secure perimeter	Very secure perimeter	Plane spotting	Vikings had been here	Never mind the weather
Pastel-leria	I hate the sound of rain hitting the fabric	Iceland, 22:35 - ravioli hour	My tent watches the neighbour	Plan B, for the really nasty weather
Magnificent desolation	More classic way to camp	May day	Blackwater	Long shadows
Camp Milkyway	My patio	Closed for the night	Birthday camp	A night in the outskirts
Tent on a promontory	Starting a new season	Shade is good!

Wonderful camping spots, nothing like being out in nature.

I like this fresh vision of "camping", the life so is very sympathetic and near of nature

Nice gallery! Never understood people who don't like or enjoy camping. You can't beat it!! The sounds, the scenery, the cooking, reading, hiking, fishing... V
