If you're not in New York, you're camping out.
~Thomas E. Dewy, governor of New York, 1942-1954
Even in a time of elephantine vanity and greed, one never has to look far to see the campfires of gentle people.
~Garrison Keillor
Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.
~George Carlin
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountainside is going home; that wilderness is a necessity.
~John Muir
When using a public campground, a tuba placed on your picnic table will keep the campsites on either side vacant.
~Jerry Smith, author
The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.
~Henry David Thoreau
The ultimate camping trip was the Lewis and Clark expedition.
~Dave Barry
My dreams are tangled in images of stars and clouds and firelight--we go camping at night--it's my lucid dream of being with you.
~John Geddes, A Familiar Rain
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.
~E.B. White
It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against the prevailing winds, for the opportunity to rain on a tent.
~David Barry
Keep close to Nature's heart… and break clear away, once in awhile, and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean. None of Nature's landscapes are ugly so long as they are wild.
~John Muir, in Our National Parks, 1901
