In recent years, camping has become super popular—not only offering a fresh alternative to traditional accommodation and the fun of setting up camp and cooking outdoors, but also serving as a social activity for friends to gather on weekends. Statistics show that the number of enthusiasts has already reached 2 million.

So, how do you get started with camping? With smart consumption being the trend these days, you’ve got to consider cost-performance for everything. Before rushing to the gear shop, the first thing you need to do is: calm down and do the math!

How much does camping gear cost? You’re going on a trip, so you definitely don’t want to feel like you’re roughing it. But even if you stick to mid-range domestic brands, achieving a “comfortable” level still adds up to a significant expense. Beyond the basics for sleeping—tent, sleeping pad, sleeping bag—you also need to feed yourself, which means buying cooking tents or canopy tents, tables and chairs, stoves, lights, coolers, cooking utensils, and more. When you tally up all the gear costs, your little one might not have even stepped outside yet, but your wallet will likely have lost at least fifty of its “little ones.”

Each camping trip comes with its own expenses too… campsite fees + food + gas + transportation… These consumable costs have to be calculated anew each time. And does your home have space to store all the camping equipment? If you don’t have storage space at home, be warned: the camping gear will take over your house—and your ears will be ringing from your spouse’s nagging.

If you’re still here after reading all that, your determination must be rock solid. The good news is that some travel agencies are now offering fully equipped camping trips during the summer holidays. If you want to experience the joy of camping, it’s recommended to start with an all-inclusive camping package!
