For those who believe that Girl Camper is all about having a trailer, let me introduce you to some incredible women who prove otherwise. Their adventurous spirits are far bigger than their budgets, and they refuse to let the lack of a trailer keep them from enjoying the joys of camping. These women face those fears and embrace a “can-do” attitude, making the most of every opportunity to get outside, explore, and connect with others.
What I admire the most!
What I admire most about them is their determination to join in the fun without the stress of towing, leveling, hooking up, and backing in. Instead, they focus on the experiences, the friendships, and the adventure itself. While trailers can be beautiful and charming, Girl Camper is about so much more than just the things—it’s about the people and the places that make the journey special.
Many of these campers have found creative ways to participate. Some set up in tents—either homemade or store-bought and glamped up with personal touches. Others opt to rent a cozy cabin or stay at a nearby bed and breakfast while still joining in on all the campsite festivities. The key is to not let the absence of a trailer keep you from experiencing the camaraderie and fun of women coming together in the great outdoors.
A fantastic way to prepare!
In fact, attending a Girl Camper event without a trailer can be a fantastic way to prepare for trailer ownership down the road. It’s the perfect opportunity to ask seasoned campers for advice! Where to find the best trailers, what questions to ask a seller, and what price range is reasonable. You’ll gain firsthand insight into different trailer styles, features, and modifications. Do you prefer vintage charm or a sleek, modern setup? Would you rather renovate an older trailer or invest in a brand-new one customized to your taste? Seeing different setups in action will help you make informed decisions before taking the plunge.
So it’s time to face those fears! If you’ve been hesitating because you don’t own a trailer yet, let that go. Keep an open mind, join in the fun, and soak up all the knowledge and inspiration around you. Whether you’re in a tent, a cabin, or just visiting for the day – the heart of Girl Camper is about enjoying the outdoors with amazing women who do it all with style, creativity, and a whole lot of panache!
