Getting started camping is easy. We recommend beginning with a tent or a pop-up camper. Pop-up campers and tents have a significantly lower investment than jumping into a large recreational vehicle. The average weight of a pop-up camper is only 2,000 pounds. You probably own a vehicle that can safely tow a pop-up camper. Many pop-up campers weigh less than a thousand pounds. The largest pop-up camper weighs about 4,500 pounds. A lot of pop-up campers have room inside to sleep, eat, cook, shower, and use the restroom.
