Camper Enjoying Campfire

A chorus of birdsong wakes you at dawn. Fried eggs on the Trianga cooker. A morning dip in a local pond... Camping is a great way of going back to basic, and is probably the cheapest way to holiday

    Marmot Mountain Works

    So, you arrive in California by plane but you really want to get out of the city and visit some of the state’s amazing national parks, go trekking in the mountains and camp under the stars.

    My top tip would be to hire your camping gear from this fantastic little shop in Berkley - you can get there on the BART or easily by car. They have everything you need at decent prices - tents, sleep mats, bear boxes(!), stoves, sleeping bags. So there’s no need to lug all of that gear over to the USA.
