Why don't people go camping anymore? - Lowkey - Oct 13, 2025
Do you guys hate the outdoors or mosquitoes or what?

I love to go camping. I love the outdoors. When I am at work all day I think about getting out and maybe going outside and taking my family camping and fishing. But when the day and the week wear me down I just want to relax. So then it turns into playing with the kids at home and relaxing.
Maybe it's not so much that people hate the outdoors, but the exhaustion of slowly adding more work hours to your day as you get older.
But fuck mosquitos. If there's one things that indians love, it's rolling around in cow shit. But i use OFF for mosquitos.

I work at a store where we sell camping equipment, and I can safely say, people DO go camping.

IDK, but on dating apps women sure do love to say they love the outdoors and hiking. Like none of them say they love PCs and Video Games which is the appropriate answer for me. 🙄

Love camping, but not a fan of the "camp grounds" most people go to.
For me, camping is in the middle of the woods, alone or with a few others... Modern "camping" is parking a car in a dirt or grass field 40 feet away from another family, and pitching a tent.
That's not camping, to me...
Appalachian trail survival is "camping". The modern campsite is more like an extended beach stay with vending machines nearby and indoor toilets.

I work outside 80 hours a week. Why would I want to be in a hot ass tent.

Too many 'top 10 creepiest things seen while camping' compilations on YouTube 😔
I genuinely used to go camping a lot, but it got pretty boring, that's more on me than the actual activity though, I'd usually just smoke a few joints and drink a few beers and listen to music. I'm too ad/hd rattled now to enjoy sitting there + none of my friends enjoy camping so it's only really with my Dad and I think it's just overall a bit dull now.

How quaint.
This is good news! Camping is just another word for what all of our ancestors used to do!

Too caught up on with city life. Not enough time to think to go touch grass.
