Garden Camping – Enjoy True Camping in Another Country This Time

Have you gone camping in another country? Seems a bit unheard, right? I am sure, a very few of you might have done that, that too the regular camping on a designated campsite. I am asking about whether you have ever camped in a private garden in another country? This is still newer! I know! I am also fascinated by this concept, put forth by CampInMyGarden.com and this is the only portal in the world offering such a fantastic facility. Here is a brief idea about what it is and some of the superb locations offered out there.

CampInMyGarden.com has been created by Victoria Webbon who launched it in April 2011. The idea is camping in private gardens where you can get peace and Nature’s vicinity in a true sense, unlike the regular campsites where there are often other campers, crowd, shouts, noises, but no peace. The strapline of CampInMyGarden.com is ‘we don’t do crowds’. And this motto assures you of camping in a peaceful atmosphere. There are more than 800 garden campsites registered with CampInMyGarden.com all over the world and so, you can now go camping in a country other than your own. Visit their Facebook page too.
