It's not everyday that you will be sleeping in a cozy sleeping bag inside the tent after a heart (and of-course stomach) filled barbecue gourmet during a rendezvous evening. It's certainly not everyday that you will listening to the melodies of the birds calling on you , "Wake-up, Wake-up!!!" and have a breathtaking early morning view of the neighboring lake. It's definitely not everyday that you get out of your tent in a flash to walk on a due wet grass as opposed to taking a bedroom to bathroom walk as a daily ritual. All these things make camping nearby a picturescue location not only attractive but also addictive. Honestly, very very addictive. In fact, you will never be satisfied with one and will always be looking for the next available opportunity to camp.
In my observation, there is a distinct difference between mass of the Europeans plan their trip and most of Desis' day out on a picnic day. While many Europeans are eager to spend their day just cycling/walking/fishing the entire day on the bank of a scenic river, along with camping, barbecue and chill out for the entire day, most of the Desis love to have a jammed packed itinerary as if we have no next day to live. Most Europeans prefer to spend time with the family and friends on a beautiful resort/bungalow to get rejuvenated during the time of the holiday, many Desis' choose to visit all the historical places, museums in the city/town. Accepting, it's not entirely a bad idea to glance through the entire region under purview during a trip, sometimes it's just wonderful and blissfully refreshing to just sit/lie down, relax and indulge in a banter with friends in a tranquil environment. A small walk or a short Kayak /Canoe during the day is just icing on the Cake.
During the last visit to UK (Manchester-Lake District-York), I ended up doing the mixed bag of both. As the first and the last day of the trip were hurriedly spent hunting down as many tourist spots in Manchester and York respectively, the days I remember the most are two memorable days spent camping in the Lake District. It was indeed refreshing and rejuvenating and I would recommend all of you to give it a shot at the next available opportunity. I have started to believe "Once a camper, always a camper..." and hope you will also second it...
