Camping under the starry sky
Are you curious about why millions of Americans are willing to leave their comfortable homes and sleep in tents outdoors? Welcome to the world of camping, one of the most popular leisure activities in the United States, which allows people to connect with nature and create unforgettable memories.
Camping serves as a means of escaping from the hustle and bustle of city life and high technology. Its charm lies in sitting around a crackling campfire, engaging in conversations with family and friends, and basking in the tranquility of nature.
Cooking in the woods is more challenging, but the food tastes better
Common camping methods in the United States
🏕️ Backyard camping: the perfect entry-level way to enjoy camping
Many families start their camping activities right at their own doorstep! Parents will set up a tent in the backyard, and everyone eats roasted marshmallow sandwiches (also known as “S’mores”, consisting of two graham crackers with a toasted marshmallow and a piece of chocolate in between), while letting the children spend the night in the tent. This is a relatively safe way of camping, allowing children to build confidence for greater adventures while spending the night outdoors. If the children feel scared, they can always return home and lie back in their own little beds.
🚗 Car camping: Take everything you need to spend the night outdoors
Car camping refers to a practice where you park your car next to a camping site, allowing you to bring along a portable cooler, camping chairs, and all the necessities for camping and cooking in your car. Despite driving, everyone still sleeps in tents. Car camping is ideal for weekend excursions, especially if your children are too young to carry heavy backpacks.

🥾 Hiking camping: The ultimate adventure
Shouldering all your gear and venturing into the wilderness on foot allows you to truly immerse yourself in nature. You will be rewarded with breathtaking scenery and a profound sense of accomplishment. Hiking camping can last from one night to several months, traversing thousands of kilometers of classic hiking trails across the United States.
Camping in the snow is certainly cold, but with the right gear, it can be super fun
⛺ Other camping methods
For a more enriched camping experience, some people opt for canoe camping, rowing down the river and then pitching a tent on the riverbank; others prefer winter camping, pitching a tent on the snow; and there’s also hammock camping, where people sleep in hammocks hung between two trees.
If you don’t have camping equipment, it’s okay. You can experience glamping, which stands for “glamorous + camping”. This type of camping usually involves staying in pre-existing tents with all necessary amenities, including mattresses, power sources, and other supporting facilities, eliminating the need to bring your own tent and equipment.
