Securing camping reservations can be a challenge, often involving long waiting lists, but the anticipation only adds to the excitement of the adventure. You’re in the right place! In this post we’ve gathered 10 camping quotes to get you stoked and eager to get outside.

These camping quotes are from famous adventurers, philosophers and nature lovers and sum up camping in a nutshell. I always look back on camping quotes to get me fired up for my next adventure, reminding me of the profound experiences that can be had in just a few fleeting days.



"Gods this is country, I've half a mind to leave them behind and keep going" Robert Baratheon

Robert Baratheon says this is game of thrones to his friend Ned Stark as they are on the kings road. This unique quote comes from a fantasy book but speaks true when talking about camping out in the country. Loving the country and sitting and being is what it is all about.

Over civilized people, tired and stressed from their modern, urban lifestyles, are discovering the rejuvenating and essential nature of wild environments. Leave the world behind and start on your camping adventure, where rainstorms can travel miles against prevailing winds just to target your tent!



" Just me and you, camping is all I need" - Unknown

Getting away while camping with loved ones or a special someone is sometimes all you need. Cooking humble food together, spending time around a campfire, and eating food outdoors makes the experience more enjoyable, raising everyone's spirits.



“Camping is the sweetest escape from daily life.”

Learn to disconnect. Camp life forces you to escape from your phones, social media, and all the chaos that surrounds us. Novel experiences allow us to look back on the past with gratitude and appreciate only the essential facts, much like Henry David Thoreau's desire to confront life's fundamental truths through nature.

Think about it, you will never look back in life and remember all the times you were on your phone or social media. But, you will remember those times in the wilderness or cooking a meal prepared by a campfire.



“Camping where you spend a small fortune to live like a homeless person.” – Unknown

Going camping is seen as a way to reconnect with nature and escape daily life. Even the same meal tastes different and better when enjoyed outdoors.

But this quote highlights the irony of camping, literally saying you spend a lot of money to live like a homeless person.



It’s not the mountain we conquer, but the human spirit.” – Sir Edmund Hillary

This quote by Sir Edmund Hillary, one of the first two men to summit Mount Everest, is so apt for camping and outdoor adventures. Camping is a microcosm of the bigger journeys we take in life.

The profound beauty and experience of a mountain campfire in the wilderness evoke a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for nature, showcasing how such an experience is integral to the spirit of camping and connecting with the outdoors.

Camping can be scary at first, having to overcome all the impending issues and problems can be tough without technology. However, you come out of that trip with ultimate confidence and being able to conquer the wilderness.



“The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter.”

When it comes to camping there’s something special about gathering around the campfire. These words sum up camping and its ability to comfort and warm us in any season. Thoreau, an American author, philosopher and naturalist knew the power of fire to create comfort and community.

Imagine savoring the sensory experience of freshly ground heaven by the campfire, enhancing your appreciation for the wilderness.

Our ancestors lived and socialized around a campfire. This is were our primitive species spent most of their time. Take comfort in your campfire and look back in history for those who came before you and how they took comfort around the campfire.



"Camp life is not a date; it’s an endurance test. If you can survive camp life with someone you should marry them on the way home"

When you go camping with your partner you’re willingly entering a world of uncertainty where the weather can change in an instant, prevailing winds can bring rainstorms that defy their usual route to drench your tent, insects can invade your personal space and basic amenities are a luxury.

It’s in those moments that your true compatibility and ability to work together are put to the test. The shared experiences whether it’s conquering a tough hike or laughing over burnt marshmallows can deepen the bond between you and your partner and build trust and communication.



“To sit in the shade on a fine day and look upon verdure is the most perfect refreshment”

Jane Austen’s words sum up the simple pleasure and joy of sitting in the shade on a nice day and looking at the greenery. It’s a poetic reminder we must take time to stop, breathe in the calm of the outdoors, and savor the sweetness of all the paths life offers, embracing various journeys and experiences.

Take your time as you spend it outdoors. Take in the fresh air, look at the nature around you. You will not get this kind of experience anywhere else.

“A bad day camping is better than a good day working”

This always sums up how I feel about camping. Even a day spent in the rain, drenched is better than a bad day at the office. When you are outside enjoying nature and the weather, even if it's bad outside will always be better company than whatever indoors job you may have.

The joy of camping is in the optimism that’s inherent in it. When it rains campers put on their rain jackets and create a cozy space under a tarp and huddle together.

When the sun goes down campers gather around the campfire and tell stories and toast marshmallows and bring a warmth and glow to the evening. It's all about the social connection that brings us together in the first place.

Even when things don’t go to plan there’s a certain resilience and cheer in the camping community. The shared adventure, the camaraderie of fellow campers and the beauty of nature always trumps the small stuff.

A “bad day camping” becomes a good day because it’s a day of real connection being fully in the natural world and savoring the simple pleasures of life. It’s a day when the brightness of the sunrise, the twinkle of the stars and the colors of the sunset are appreciated with deep gratitude.


Camping quotes are just the beginning... Take Action!

I always love to lean on this quotes to get me inspired about camping. Remember, it's all about the experience that you make for yourself. Bring back your social connection, savor the wilderness.

Lean into challenges and bad days during your camping trips. If you can survive camping, you can conquer more drastic goals.

Camping is the most self-reliant tasks out there, show yourself you can do anything you set your mind to.

In the end it’s a reminder that in the bigger picture the challenges of a camping trip are nothing compared to the brilliance of the experience itself.

Camping brings the brightness into every moment and we should cherish the outdoors, appreciate the company of like minded people and relish the raw beauty of the world.

So when a “bad day” comes along remember it’s still a day full of the glow of nature’s wonders and the light of shared adventure.

They remind us to simple and beautiful nature, to find solace and inspiration in its vastness and to appreciate the small joys and moments of wonder in the wild.

So grab your camping gear, plan your route and let these quotes be your guide, your motivation to go and your reminder to leave no trace and respect the world around you.

Let them spark your sense of adventure and curiosity and may they help you create memories that will last a lifetime on your next camping trip.
