Camping as a recreational activity became popular among elites in the early 20th century. With time, it grew in popularity among other socioeconomic classes. Modern campers frequent publicly owned natural resources such as national and state parks, wilderness areas, and commercial campgrounds.
Camping is a key part of many youth organizations around the world, such as Scouting, which use it to teach both self-reliance and teamwork. By the 1960s, camping had become an established family holiday standard, and today campsites are widespread across Europe and North America.
These amazing color photos were found by Kai Heinrich that show camping in the early 1960s, probably near Lake Constance, Germany.
