Camping Trends

These days, camping isn't just pitching a tent in the wilderness on a long hike, or stopping overnight at a campground far from home while on a road trip. Instead, for many leisure travelers, a camping trip nowadays may involve spending the night in a cabin with a real roof and a comfy bed, or taking the kids to a place that offers activities and entertainment.
