Usually living in tents, (TV: Countrycide) sometimes out in the open, campers slept in sleeping bags during the nights. (PROSE: Rags) Ghost stories were often told during camping trips, especially with younger children. (PROSE: The Tree of Life) Pyjamas were also reportedly worn on children's trips.

(PROSE: Cat's Cradle: Time's Crucible) Owen found the smell of grass in the Welsh countryside sickening, and had never participated in camping before Brynblaidd; not even knowing how to put up a tent, much to his own embarressment in front of his comrades.
