Camping. No better way to enjoy the great outdoors, right? Seeing the stars forming the Milky Way above you at night, getting that wonderful fresh air, total privacy, sleeping on the rock-hard ground, hauling all your gear, struggling to set up said gear…
Okay, so maybe it’s not all roses. But what if you could have all the natural beauty, starry night views, and wide-open spaces of tent camping with none of the hassle or sleepless nights?
