Some words of warning
As exciting and adventurous as a camping honeymoon sounds, spending the night outdoors is certainly not for everyone. There is no shame in telling your partner that you are not ready to be a camper. Don’t choose a camping honeymoon if:
- One or both are very modest
- Insects make you squeamish
- Sounds in the dark scare you
- Darkness and isolation make you nervous
- You don’t want it to rain, snow or get too hot
- Requires immediate access to a shower
- You don’t like the idea of cooking your own meals
- Nights without TV and web access are unacceptable
- You want to experience a little luxury on your honeymoon
If neither of those situations upset you, then an outdoor honeymoon is probably a great idea for the two of you. Get out there and pitch your tent.
