你喜歡哪種度假方法？你是愈加多的露營喜好者中的一員嗎？從 wild camping（野外露營） 到 glamping（豪華露營），有多種方法可以叫你領會回歸自然的樂趣。

When you go on holiday, where do you like to stay? Do you like the luxury of a five-star hotel, the convenience of a self-catering apartment or do you prefer the freedom of sleeping under canvas? If you havent tried the latter, maybe you should join the increasing number of people who are enjoying the simple pleasures of camping.

By grabbing your tent, and some additional accessories, its easy to head off to the countryside and enjoy a night or two under the stars. Many campers are ditching the trappings of their modern, hectic1 life to do this, encouraged by experts who say a few peaceful nights in the middle of nowhere might be a good way to unwind and improve our sleep patterns and well-being2. It is also, of course, a good low-budget holiday option.

For the adventurous3, wild camping is the ultimate escape from reality. Armed with just some food and a sleeping bag, youre free from rules, away from other people, and able to enjoy the back-to-basics experience. One wild camper, Phoebe Smith, told the BBC: The act of sleeping when everybody else has gone home when you notice the wildlife and the stars is one of the best things in life.

But for those who still want some home comforts, a campsite is a more suitable place to pitch your tent. Here you have facilities such as washrooms, a shop and maybe even a restaurant. And for the most luxurious4 camping experience, you could try glamping. In the UK, camping and caravanning has always been popular. One survey by Visit Britain found around 4.38 million people go camping in Britain every year.

More recently, sales of camping gear have jumped as more people have opted5 for a staycation within the UK due to travel restrictions6 caused by the coronavirus pandemic. One camping retailer7, Halfords, reported a surge in demand for products such as stoves, cool boxes and camping chairs. With the addition of inflatable mattresses8 and pillows, powerful torches and lamps to light up your tent and a better selection of easy-to-cook food, you can almost guarantee a comfortable and enjoyable camping expedition. The only thing you cant guarantee, in the UK at least, is good weather! So maybe its time to slum it and give camping a try.
