There are few summertime activities that are as iconic as camping. The thoughts of the  smell of an open campfire, the beautiful noises of mother nature, and stargazing into the vast night sky are enough to get us packing our bags. There are countless reasons why camping is a great summer vacation, but here are five that really seal the deal for us:

Unplug from technology

It’s not a shocking statement to say that most people rely on their phones, tablets, smart watches, laptops, etc. to make it through their day. The world has become so connected now that seemingly everything we do is associated with technology. Despite all the wonders that technology provides us, it can be relaxing to go off the grid for a long weekend or a week and enjoy the great outdoors.

Learn new outdoor skills

Camping provides the opportunity for people to branch out and explore new skills they never knew they had. You might know how to cook the perfect dinner at home, but can you catch a fish and grill it over charcoal? From catching fish, to pitching tents or crafting the perfect s’more, there are plenty of outdoor skills for you and your family to perfect.
