Camping

Cost: $ (if you have gear) - $$$$ (if you need to buy gear)

Fun Factor: 8

Key Words: camping, camp, camper, camping ground, camp ground

Description: Camping allows you to enjoy nature as you spend some quality time outdoors with your date. The cost varies according to what equipment you own and what you need to buy. Basic necessities include a tent, a sleeping bag, and some form of fire to make meals. This can be an exciting way to bond with your date. However, we do not recommend going camping for your first date; the commitment your partner would have to make may be more than they are willing to make early in the relationship.

Pros: If you find a campground that doesn't require a permit, this date can be very inexpensive.

Cons: If you or your date are used to the good life, it may be hard to have a comfortable time.

Tips: Be sure your date enjoys the great outdoors before you plan an event like this. Some people are definitely not camping people. Also, bring bug repellent!
