European Camping 101

Is camping in Europe right for you? Here's a twelve point checklist to help you out.

If what you want is...
1. To connect with nature
2. To escape from noise
3. To rough it in the wild with the bare minimum
4. To build a big campfire and make smores
5. To be miles away from all civilization
6. To relieve yourself in the woods and hope that leaf wasn't poison ivy

Then camping in Europe is NOT for you.

However, if what you want is...
1. A cheap way to travel resembling refugee camps
2. To rough it in the city with the bare minimum OR rough it in the city with your camper, refridgerator, TV, Playstation, houseplants, birdcage and gas grill
3. To have your neighbors' campsite just 4 feet away ... in every direction
4. To be at a campground with clean bathrooms, showers, kitchen sinks, laundry rooms, café and restaurant, and a pool
5. To hear the guy in the tent next to yours either release flatulance or snoore all night
6. To catch a poor French lady with her pants down and rear end glowing in the moonlight because she was too lazy to walk to the bathroom

Then camping in Europe just might be for you :)
