Top 5 AMAZING Camping Spots

Summer time offers many outdoor activities, hiking, swimming, and of course camping. Whether you are traveling to another country, or looking for a new adventure closer to home, camping is the most affordable and scenic way to spend a vacation. As a regular camper, I am always looking for a new spot that offers something more exciting. Here are the Top 5 most insane and amazing camping spots across the world!

5. Tree Camping, Germany

These awesome hanging tents, or portaledges, are the specialty of the Waldseilgarten camping resort in Germany. For roughly 200 dollars a night, the resort will give you an elevated tent high in the trees or on a cliff-side, provide you with all the gear, and they even feed you!

4. The Human Nest, California, USA

Treebones Resort in Big Sur, California is a totally unique experience (this one I definitely want to go to) since you actually get to sleep in a human sized bird nest. The structures are built just as a bird would, and to keep the natural feel they are not waterproof, so bring a tent just in case. Watching the sunset from a nest high in the tree tops is well worth the risk.

3. Sahale Glacier, Washington, USA

The incredible site offers views of snow-capped peaks as well as alpine meadows, lakes and the breathtaking Sahale glacier. Campers are able to wake up to fresh mountain air and some of the most stunning views in the world. A short walk from the camp and you can also discover glacier lilies in the summer, mountain blueberries in the autumn and even a local population of marmots!

2. Mud Huts, Sweden

Camping in a tent too boring for you? What about a hut-style tent, made out of real mud, no electricity, no heat, or running water? I say "YES!" to the STF Kolarbyn Hotel in Sweden. Get truly connected the earth in this truly primitive camp site.

1. Cliff Camping, Worldwide

It takes some serious guts, and love of heights to pitch a tent off the side of a 4000 foot cliff. With the right gear, and ability cliff camping can be done almost anywhere. If climbing the side of cliff isn't thrilling enough for you, then camping there should be perfect for you!

To Tent Or Not To Tent

I have always been a tent camper, I like having some space to sit up, stretch out, and be able to still move around once the sun has gone down. There is a sense of security inside the tent once it is zipped up that I found comforting the first time I went camping, so I stuck with it. That being said, the past two or three times I have slept in my cozy tent, my body has hated me for it the next day. It can be very difficult to find perfectly flat ground, then I have to clear the spot of any rocks, tree limbs and debris that will be in my way. It is just a lot of extra work that I do not enjoy. Although once everything is all set up, I have a spacious home away from home. Its especially nice when having friends along because we can all hunker down in the tent together if it starts raining or gets too cold. I love taking my dogs camping too, the thought of leaving them somewhere gives me anxiety, so being able to have them in the tent next to me is a plus as well. There are SO many op

Top 5 Mistakes to AVOID this Summer

We all make mistakes, but when you are hiking, or going camping, mistakes can be deadly. Anything from wearing the wrong shoes, to not having enough clean water to drink can be inconvenient at home, but in the woods it can turn into a matter of life and death. Here is my life of top 5 mistakes to AVOID this summer. 5. Over/Under Packing When getting ready to go on a hike it can be so easy to cram a weeks worth of stuff into your pack, even if you are only going for a day or two. Extra clothes, that really cute sun hat you never get to wear, towels, extra shoes etc can all add weight to your pack that you don't need or want on a long hike. While you may think it is worth the extra weight in your pack, your back and neck will be hating you for it later. Packing light and only bringing the necessities can be scary at first, but once you realize you don't NEED all of that stuff, you will find yourself less tired and sore than you would with a heavier bag.
