History
Camping became popular in the 20th Century. Many campers today use tents or RVs as a source of shelter, but there are many who prefer a survivalist experience. Those are the ones that take only the bare necessities with them when they set out. It also allows them to live off of the things that can be found in nature. Other unique camping opportunities include winter camping, workamping and adventure camping.
