Camping is a favorite and inexpensive summer activity for many folks. Roughing it in the wilderness can be an adventure, or sometimes a misadventure. While some enjoy tent camping, others prefer the luxury of a camper. Either way, the experiences are many, and the memories made from sleeping under the stars, fishing or boating with loved ones, and the thrill of campfire cooking are sure to be treasured.

Here are some stories from CAPPER’s readers about their camping adventures.
