Camping
The joy of camping is enjoyed by many in the United Kingdom, often without the need for expensive equipment or costly campsites. A field and a tent can provide a perfect setting for an intimate get-away or a gathering of friends to spend time together without the usual distractions of modern living.
In rural areas in the UK many campsites can be found at farms. These will rarely provide the extensive facilities that are present at purpose built campsites – for example, hard-standings, electric hook-up, warm showers and a licensed bar. What they do provide is an authorised place to pitch a tent, often in a beautiful setting with a pleasant view and the rest is up to you. It may be preferable (particularly when camping with children) to choose a campsite with a toilet, avoiding the need to bring your own chemical toilet facilities.
The other equipment you choose to take on your camping trip is entirely subjective. It is perfectly possible to fill a car with expensive additions to a tent, and then spend a large proportion of the day assembling and preparing the equipment. Some accessories offered by camping retailers are useful extras, while others are un-necessary luxuries. While you may not feel the need for a fitted carpet purpose-made for your tent it is a good idea to buy a camping stove powered by a small gas bottle to provide hot drinks and the means to heat food. Don’t be drawn in by the tent salesman with his list of luxuries, but don’t be put off camping by the thought of a few days without your usual home comforts.
