If you are new to camping, or want to learn how to camp, then this is a great place to start as you prepare for your first trip. At its core, camping is all about enjoying the outdoors and connecting to nature and each other, and the best part is there are so many ways to camp, from deep backpacking excursions in the wilderness, to big family campgrounds. Check out our introductory camping guides below and learn all about how to camp.

Public Lands

America’s public lands are the reason why camping is so accessible and beautiful. From National Parks, National Forests, BLM Land, Wildlife Refuges and more, there are nearly 640 million acres of public land that is here for everyone to explore, no matter who you are or what your camping experience is. Learn to camp so you can explore one of the most unique and invaluable parts of America – its public lands.

Ultimately, there are some tried and true pieces of camping gear that every beginner should start with, for both safety and comfort. And once you fall in love with camping, you’ll find a whole world of camping gear tailored for specific trips, environments, and climates that are a lot of fun to explore.

Sharing What I’ve Learned Over The Years

There’s a lot of online resources that set the wrong expectations about camping, which misinform campers and creates a bad experience on many levels. Camping does come with those romantic scenes posted on Instagram, but it also comes with the dirt, bugs, sweat, blisters, hunger, rough sleep, extreme weather, lots of planning obstacles, and a healthy dose of fear. Quite frankly that is the best part, and I would never trade back a single night of camping.

This website was built to share my knowledge and experiences through detailed guides, and teach others how to enjoy both the good and ugly side of camping.

These guides are based on first-hand experiences in the great outdoors. No AI generated content.
