Tent Camping

Tent camping or sometimes called car camping (European countries) is less expensive, less cumbersome, and requires less supplies than the current trend of RV camping.  RV camping requires the purchase or rental of the RV, a vehicle to pull it with, reservations in an RV park, camping fees for the space, waste dumping fees and electric and water fees.  All in all RV camping can be a very expensive venture.  Cost backed against the number of times we will use the RV and its associated expenses, it could turn into a very expensive venture.

Tent camping on the other hand, is relatively inexpensive.  The cost of the tent, fuel for the car, and a small fee for a camping spot, and a few utensils, and bedding.  An average nylon tent costs between $100.00 and 200.00.  While can vas tents can go much higher, but no where near the RV prices. Compared to the cost of an RV, from $25,000.00 up to nearly $75,000.00 , and more. 

Another plus of tent camping is location, location, location.  We can pitch a tent anywhere, in a campground, or on the remotest lake shore, or mountain top. There are many campgrounds that have specific camping areas for RV's and a totally seperate and more secluded areas for tent campers.  Thus a tent camper often has a camping area relatively to themselves, while RV's will be nestled next to each other allowing the campers to experience the joy of drunken and/or loud neighbors. 

We pick tent camping any time, over an RV park.
