Camping is becoming increasingly popular. More people choose to spend part of their vacation outdoors instead of staying at expensive hotels. It’s a great way to spend time with friends and family and get away from the hustle of everyday life. All you need is a map and the best small camper with bathroom, and you’re good to go. You don’t have to pay for your flight, hotel, and other expenses every time you go to a vacation spot. Camping is a great option because you can buy your gear once, and it will last you for many years.
