This article looks at the different tastes that people may have in camping and encourages people to think for themselves when it comes to choosing the ‘best’ place to camp, expressing their own individuality as opposed to just going where everyone recommends, which will not be suitable for everyone.
it has to be said campers are like fishermen. Others always have had better experiences than you. If you have found the best tents, campsite or the best place to camp in the UK, then they have found the best place to camp in the world, if not the Universe. But there are some great places to camp in the UK and indeed the world, but it depends on what your personal preferences and likes are. We are all different so what you like will not be to everybody’s tastes.
If you like noise, bustle, people always around, then you are going to love some of the bigger campsites that are around, where you can mingle with the other campers, enjoy some entertainment and have a good time.
The choice of camping tents also can often be bewildering and I will cover this in another article- watch this space!
This might not be a great camping experience for you however. If you enjoy the still of nature and want to get away from it all then choose somewhere quieter where you can enjoy the great outdoors and your own company.
Campsites run for money will vary in quality and facilities, good ones will have what you want.
Non-organised campsites are very different, because you should always have the owner’s permission before you can stay there. It is not possible sometimes to find the owner to ask for permission however.
The camping community can recommend great campsites they have previously stayed at and also the ones they would not recommend. What might seem a swell place to set up camp at night may turn out to be just the opposite the following morning.
You need to find out what your tastes are. Just because someone likes something, this does not mean that it is brilliant or fantastic, no matter what they say, it was just right for them. Don’t follow the pack, make your own mind up where you camp. Everyone has different ideas of camping heaven, so keep this in mind and choose a camping experience based on your own preferences not other peoples.
