Instagram Vs Reality: What Camping Is Really Like

The great outdoors and Instagram, don't believe what you see...

If Instagram is to be believed, going camping is all starry nights, beautiful scenery and marshmallows with your mates around the campfire.

Anyone who has been camping in the UK however, knows that there’s a while lot more rain. mud and pissing in the woods than Instagram would like you to think.

Here’s the real story of camping, when the hashtags are taken away…..

Sleeping outdoors on Instagram

At times I sleep in my Subaru Outback or in my REI tent. This time I slept next to a warm fire.
