Who enjoys camping. I take a lot of photos and have a roof tent on my car. So I can venture off road and some remote places throughout the Uk. Anyone else enjoy venturing out.

We love it! We take our tent that's nicknamed "the one bedroom flat" with us

It's so big that our garage isn't big enough to actually refold it ?? have to use the village green for that

Amazing- that’s why I use a roof tent- seconds to set up. Keep all the bedding inside and up and away. practically live in it.

Taking the tent out for a couple of nights next week with my boy as he needs to get some decent photographs for his school work and, typically, what he's decided to take pictures of we don't have any of around here, so we're headed for North Wales

Until I got the campervan, then would go camping every year, somewhere with no WiFi, mobile signals etc….. spend a couple of weeks “switched off” ……. Loved it

By creature comforts I mean a mattress, toilet, shower, etc.

At that kind of outlay I might as well hit the Travelodge

I understand what you mean. But I love a camp fire under the stars. Photographing a sunrise in a remote place.

Even more when they add on a dog, gazebo, shower charge etc. etc.

Then the councils moan about motorhomes parking up everywhere else instead.

I'm going for my first camping trip next week. I got so overexcited about it that I must have bought half of the Decathlon's finest quality equipment and wear

My purse is empty, but my heart will be filled with memories I shall not forget. Can't wait

I take my grandsons [8 and 10] wild camping on Dartmoor, they love it, we've also been to a "Daddy Daycamp" location where an ex Royal marine has turned a woodland into a great campsite with truck tyres hanging from trees, small zip wires and fire pits.

Near Taunton Somerset

I’ve done quite a bit of wild camping up in Scotland on Arran and in the highlands.

I’ve owned a small camper van for nearly 10 years, spent a month in Snowdonia in it in winter, it was cold but not to many tourists.

I’ve only been to a camp site once in the van, I prefer to wild camp.

Love it
