Camping can truly be a blast. For those that love to just get away, literally leaving just about everything they can behind, it can be a good way to get outdoors, relax and do something you truly love to do. Hiking can be done in so many ways. You can hike to a remote area and set up camp with what you were able to carry on your back and nothing else. This is usually the preferred way by the more extreme outdoors type.

Another way can be a little easier by going to a state run park, a lake area or somewhere nearby and setting up a camping site there. There could be a fee, but you may have access to things like running water, bathroom facilities, and so on. People love this style of hiking when they can have a closer place to go from home. This can also be easier to manage with little kids and so on. It may not be completely roughing it, but it sure is close it.

No matter what you choose, have fun and be safe. You will want to make sure you go as prepared as you can.
