Camping is the ideal getaway because you can tailor your trip to fit your budget, needs, wants and experience. The best way to learn to camp is to jump right in and give it a good try. However, as with many things in life, everything does not go according to plan and its important to have a flexible attitude and sense of humour when you go camping.
