The participants, known as campers, get
away from urban areas, their home region or civilization and enjoy
nature while spending one or more nights, usually at a campsite.
Camping may involve the use of a tent, a primitive structure, or no
shelter at all. Camping as a recreational activity became popular in
the early 20th century. Campers frequent national parks, other
publicly owned natural areas, and privately owned campgrounds.
