Campsites have been for many years like a sanctuary for those who love nature.
Anybody who wishes to have a wildlife experience or an adventure for his holidays will go for a campsite, no doubt.
A holiday in a campsite promises a natural lifestyle, away from our daily routines, but you should be aware, that campsite holidays cannot be trusted to keep to those promises, anymore.
You will find that most modern campsites count with classy restaurants and bars, so much for toasting marshmallows outside your tent, under a sea of stars.
There is nothing outdoorsy about a campsite holiday, if you end up spending your evening eating filet mignon in an exclusive restaurant.
Furthermore, today's campsites count with Jacuzzis, indoors and outdoor pools.
So, if you were planning to go for a dip in the river, you can forget about it.
The same goes for entertainment.
It is very common to find TV rooms and game rooms in campsites.
And generally, computers with internet access can be found as well.
Any trip or outdoor activity that you were planning with your kids will end up as soon as they stumble upon one of these rooms.
Your kids will spend most of their time playing video games, or watching television, instead of going fishing with you.
So if you thought that a campsite holiday would help you spend quality time with your children, think again.
Also, if you are planning to visit tourist attractions, you will find that most campsites are awfully far from most of them.
So if you though that spending a holiday in a campsite would save you some bucks, you were wrong again.
You will end up spending tons of money in taxi fares, to get to these attractions.
Some campsites offer boutiques, novelty shops, and gifts shops, among others.
So again, another reason for spending lots of money on things that you most probably do not even need, quite the contrary of the camping spirit, that encourages people to live only with what they need.
In addition, some campsites offer luxury tents, which are a lot like a deluxe hotel room.
They count with fabric roofs, and electric blinds.
So again, if you were planning to wake up early with the first ray of sun, you can forget about it.
Campsites no longer say nature, family time, or peace and quiet.
To make matters worse, these modern campsites are as expensive as a hotel room.
The only reason why somebody would pay the same amount than a hotel room for a campsite is because that person is looking to have a wildlife adventure, and to connect with nature.
However, now we know that that this is not going to happen.
So save your money and review your plans, the best place to get in touch with nature might be closer than you think.
Camping in your backyard will probably live up more to your expectations, than camping in modern campsites.
