The are many types of camping, some you might not have heard of before.
Car Camping
Car camping involves driving to a camping location in your car and camping next to it. Usually you will use a tent unless, although sleeping inside of your car is becoming more popular.
Caravan Camping
More popular in Europe, camping with a small trailer is fairly similar to car camping.
Motorhoming
Driving a small to large motor home to camp sites is seen by many as the easiest way to camp.
Van Life
Having an unconscious van that you can live in has become more popular in the recent decade.
Backpacking
Backpacking while camping in the outdoors is seen by many as the only true form of camping. You carry everything you need to survive to a campsite on your person.
Ultralight backpacking has become more popular in recent years as a way to make backpacking more enjoyable and accessible. It involves tracking the weight of every item you bring, removing unnecessary items, finding lighter items and even cutting out parts of items you don’t need. Lighterpack.com is a popular website for tracking everything you plan to carry on a backpacking trip.
It is not uncommon for ultralight enthusiasts to pay 10x as much or more for a lighter weight alternative. To some this may seem insane. But it can make sense given all the considerable fixed expenses of camping in this day and age and the potential for having a more enjoyable trip and/or being able to trek further and avoid injuries.
Glamping
Glamping generally refers to unnecessary levels of luxury used during camping.
