tent camping

Outdoor shelter overnight

Tent camping is outdoor recreation where participants sleep in portable fabric shelters rather than cabins, RVs, or other permanent structures.

It represents the most traditional form of camping, requiring campers to bring their own shelter, sleeping gear, and supplies.

The term distinguishes this rustic experience from glamping or car camping with amenities.

We prefer tent camping to get the full wilderness experience.
