Hell yes, I’ve been camping. Do I like it?
Depends on where…
From my experience, camping in Australia was a full contact sport. There are a lot of creepy crawlies. I do not like it. Camping in England required wet-weather gear – as pajamas. Camping in Scotland required a heater, in the Summer.
Camping in France was lovely but we did wake in the wee hours to a hedgehog eating the pâté we had failed to clean up after getting drunk on excellent cheap red wine. (We no longer eat pâté now that we know how it’s made.)
We camped in the suburbs of Paris in 2006 at https://www.campingparis.fr/. I highly recommend camping if you’re travelling with children because they find so many new friends and the language barrier doesn’t seem to matter if there’s a football or skipping rope to play with.
Camping in Italy was delicious. We honeymooned in Europe and to extend our stay, we camped in a few places including Verona, pitching our little tent in the grounds of a monastery that had been transformed into a youth hostel. We woke to the sound of church bells.
