There's something quite magical about sleeping under canvas. Closeness to nature, seeing the moon shining through the tent, hearing owls hooting in the trees and breathing nature's earthy scent these small things which we take for granted in our everyday lives are somehow more appreciated on a camping holiday.
But there are also practical reasons for choosing a camping holiday. The cost, for one; despite an initial outlay for a tent, sleeping bags and other gear, equipment will usually last for many years without needing replacement, so camping holidays will typically be reasonably priced. A night at a campsite can cost as little as 5, while a room in even a modest hotel can cost ten times as much.
