Tourism can be a transforming experience. However, traveling to luxury hotels or resorts is not the same as traveling to a nature campsite. In a camp, you do not enjoy the comforts of a hotel, but you live with nature and learn from it. Also, you live experiences such as sleeping, looking at the stars, and waking up with the first light at dawn.
Nature campsite is one of the best options to get out of the routine. According to the North American Camping Report, published by Kampgrounds of America, 10.1 million people camped for the first time in 2020, more than a third of whom cited COVID-19 as a key factor. In addition, camping is also a way to disconnect from the world and find peace. Finally, as the study in the journal Current Biology mentions, going camping in nature helps prevent the delay in sleep schedules in modern societies.

Nature campsite is for those travelers who seek to have a meaningful interaction with the natural environment surrounding them. In Mexico, there are places for camping, from protected natural areas, forests to beaches. According to Brooker and Joppe, you can get fresh air, look at the stars, and enjoy nature at a nature campsite. Hence, one of the main drivers of camping experiences is the desire to have close contact with nature and escape from the daily routine.
