Camping holidays are better than hotel holidays 

Every year decide where we are going on holidays. The most common destinations are zones like beach or emblematic cities such as Rome, but have you tried to go camping?


One advantage of camping holidays is that it's cheaper than an hotel so it's a good alternative if you can't pay an hotel. What is more, you can do activities like trips. However, in a camping you have few privacy.


In an hotel you can get more relaxed, you don't need to clean the room or do your own food. Although, you pay all the vantages of hotels so you might run out of money. In addition the rules are too extrict.

In conclusion, if you want to spend few money, the camping is your best opcion and if you want luxury, choose the hotel, but remind, then you have to pay it!
