What Your Other Half May Really Think About Camping
As must be plain to see - we love camping. In a sense of seeking some balance we have to admit that not everyone shares that passion.
Are you really sure that your other half loves camping as much as you do?
Here’s a short article from the UK that provides an alternative viewpoint. We are still trying to figure out why the 2 elements of #5 go together. We have our theories…

Camping holidays in the UK are still a favourite choice for many – the freedom of the open road, the exploration of our beautiful countryside, the fun of setting up camp and just getting back to basics does seem rather attractive.
Campsites are full of youngsters in camper vans, families in incredibly complicated tents and happy older couples knocking in their personalised pitch signs in front of their huge white motorhomes.
But for those of us who haven’t made living outdoors a lifestyle choice the camping holiday presents plenty of problems.
And so here are the 28 reasons for NOT taking a camping trip – because maybe sitting under a flapping canvas isn’t a real holiday at all?
1. Spending absolutely HOURS breaking your back and fiddling with stuff to get everything sorted so you can spend about five minutes enjoying your holiday. This five minutes is sitting in a fold out chair with a glass of something cold before the sun goes down, enjoy it, it’s the only thing you will…
2. You, or one of your party, will hurt a finger thanks to either a guy rope, a hammer, a pressurised strut or a camping stove.
3. The early morning rush to get into the showers before they turn into hairy, muddy, swill out rooms.
4. Wearing flip flops in the shower.
5. Wet matches and damp loo roll.
6. Squatting outside in the dark and baring your bum to the snakes (and next door’s caravan).
7. The smug campers with a massive, warm motor home, there’s no queuing for the loo for these guys. Look, they even have pictures on the wall!
