More About Camping

We have tested tents, stoves, sleeping bags, and other camping related gear from brands such as Coleman, REI, Kelty, and Big Agnes.
Camping was supposed to be one of those dowdy pastimes that became perversely fashionable for a moment, only to become just as unfashionable again once everybody tried it and found out what it actually entailed. But camping hasn’t gone away; it’s more popular than ever. Thanks to the recession, camping and caravan trips last year were up 27% on the previous year. Sales of tents and other equipment continue to climb. Both the high and low end of the market have expanded rapidly. “Glamping” – where you sleep in a luxuriously appointed tent someone elso has put up for you – is seen as an acceptable, if not preferable alternative to staying in a B&B, but you can also get a tent in Tesco for a tenner. Camping is suddenly for everybody.
