rustic camping

No-frills tent life

Rustic camping is outdoor camping with minimal amenities—no electricity, running water, or flush toilets.

The sites may offer little more than a cleared space and a fire ring, requiring campers to be more self-sufficient than at developed campgrounds.

We opted for rustic camping to get away from the crowds.
