Tents - advantages
(continued)
Another one of the many benefits to going camping in a traditional camping tent is the experience.Camping tents, as you probably already know, are sort of like tarps. They give you protection from the outdoors, but still leave you feeling as if you are camping in the open night.
If you are an outdoor lover or if you are truly looking to get the "camping feel," you may want to think about camping in a traditional camping tent.
Tents - disadvantages
Although going camping in a tent is fun, there are also disadvantages to this option.One of those downsides is bad weather. A large number of camping tents are strong and waterproof, but not all are.
If you are unsure as to what the weather will be like for your next camping adventure, you may want to think about purchasing a camping tent that comes highly rated and recommended.
Hopefully this should ensure that you don't awake to any wet surprises!

Motor Homes - the benefits
As for camping in a motor home, there are advantages and disavantages for this option too.If you are able to camp in a motor home, you may well enjoy doing so - many motor homes are set out like small apartments or small houses.
Far more civilised than a tent, motor homes often come equipped with bathrooms, kitchens, and even sometimes televisions! This is a nice option if you are looking to enjoy camping, whilst still being able to bask in the modern luxuries of life.
Motor Homes - disadvantages
Perhaps the biggest disadvantage of camping in a motor home is the cost of doing so. Motor home are expensive to buy and if you are looking to camp on a budget, you may not be able to afford to buy your own motor home.
Of course, you don't actually have to buy your own motor home. There are a number of individuals as well as companies that have motor homes available for rent.
Renting a motor home (instead of buying one) is a nice, affordable way to camp in style.

- Great lens! When camping with a group I can't do without my 15-inch cast iron skillet! It just makes life easier for me. When backpacking, bug juice and a roll-up foam pad. 5* and lensrolled to my camping lens.
