Since when does camping involve electricity?

Spending time outdoors is the ambition of many people during the summer months. Campgrounds located minutes from major cities make a weekend hike, fish and camp escape very appealing to those with limited time to escape the demands of city life. There is nothing quite like the experience of sleeping under the stars after spending a day hiking the trails and enjoying the natural splendor of the surrounding countryside.

Many families enjoy camping and have gone from pitching tents and cooking fires to packing up a trailer and living in a portable home with mattresses on the beds, modern plumbing, and convenient electricity. But the essential camper knows that all the modern conveniences of pre-packed trailers can’t compare to the spirit of setting up base camp and tuning into the frequency of mother nature’s simpler life.

The grassroots approach to camping is much more satisfying for men and women who travel to the wilderness in search of a primal experience that can only be obtained by cooking over an open flame of a campfire that was cultivated by hand. Travel trailer campers will never know the satisfaction of pitching a tent under the shade of a tall tree and laying down sleeping bags for the night.

There is nothing that can compare to the actual experience of camping without electricity and only your intuition and experience will guide you on a journey back to simpler times.
