The Mental Health Benefits from camping
Even if a camping trip won’t solve all your problems, it can have some benefits for your mental health. In fact, research suggests that spending 120 minutes a week in nature can improve your mental well-being.
There are many reasons for this, including the fact that spending a few hours in nature can reduce stress levels. Indeed, by camping, you escape your usual problems, work, technology and the hustle and bustle of the city, which can help you slow down and feel more peaceful. It's hard to argue with the fact that there's no better way to relax than with the sound of the wind on the grass and the birds singing. What's more, being immersed in the tranquillity of nature allows your brain to reset, allowing you to think about things that are really important to you without having any distraction.
Not only will you be less stressed, but your mood will improve, firstly thanks to contact with nature and direct sunlight, which will allow you to replenish your vitamin D levels. Secondly, there's no better way to lift your spirits than with your loved one. Spending time with them, away from distractions, can improve your relationship and influence you mentally.
