It’s become almost automatic. You wake up and reach for your phone. You check messages. Then emails. Then social media. By the time you’ve finished breakfast, you’ve already absorbed more information than people once encountered in an entire day. We rarely notice how mentally exhausting that can be. Until we go camping. Somewhere between setting

A few years ago, a weekend getaway usually meant booking a hotel. Today, many travelers are making a different choice.

A few years ago, finding a quiet campsite on a summer weekend wasn’t particularly difficult. Today, that’s a different story. Popular campgrounds often fill up weeks in advance.
