6 signs you're hooked on camping

Camping is not only a form of accommodation on holiday, it’s practically a lifestyle. People choose camping for a variety of reasons, but it’s safe to assume that they all like nature, getting to know other countries and cultures no matter what, the excitement and adventure of camping. Some wouldn't even consider trying out a different form of travelling for anything in the world and here’s how you know if you’re one of them:

1. Unpack to pack

By the time you unpack the camping gear at home, you will have already figured out where you’ll be camping next. Simply because you don’t just go camping, you live it. And enjoy every second of it.

2. One more piece of camping equipment

When you start camping, you make sure you have the basics. As you slowly turn into a real fan, you won’t be able to resist buying all the latest inventions that make camping easier, more comfortable, more fun and exciting. Regardless of the fact that you don’t really need them.

3. Camping improvisation

Who needs beds when you have sleeping bags? When not on holiday, one way of keeping the memories alive is by reliving fun moments at home. If you spend the night in a sleeping bag every now and then, supposedly just to try it out, you know you’re a real camping fan. Also, a hammock inside the house, like the one you had on your camping pitch or on the beach in Zaton tied between two pine trees, is a definite sign that camping is your chosen lifestyle.

4. Proud member of a camping association

You’re a member of at least one camping association and you renew membership each year even before it expires. But that’s not all. You regularly check out camping-related news, blogs and camping gear websites.

5. Nature as second home

You love spending time in nature and camping is the closest you can get to truly experience nature in all its glory for more than just a day. It gives you a reason to escape from stressful everyday life and makes you forget about technological gadgets you cannot normally do without. For you, nature is your home.

6. Cooking as a piece of cake

Once you’ve cooked over a campfire or by using campground facilities, there’s hardly anything you can’t manage in the kitchen. Camping food makes you acquire new skills, teaches you to be resourceful, creative and using what’s available at the moment. And when you start cooking camping food over and over again, you know it’s time for another holiday in nature.

Never enough of camping

When you’re sitting outdoors and sharing great holiday moments with family or friends, you feel like freezing the moment forever. Because that’s all you need. And once you find the perfect campground such as Zaton Holiday Resort, the only thing you have to worry about is which pitch to choose the year to come. In other words, you just want more and more of camping and you can’t help yourself. It really is just like an addiction.
