WITH the summer predicted to be a bust, most of us are planning to go camping this year.
One guy, however, has gone viral for his stunning camp setups; which includes a dining table, vase of fresh flowers and even a bathtub.

If you’re dreading taking your camping gear out of the loft, you’re probably not planning on bringing extra stuff either.
However, one happy camper decided to go all out with his tents and proudly showed off his home away from home.
Sharing the photos on the Blackpool Lad Facebook page, one image shows a relaxing three-man tent with chairs placed against each window to create a cozy nook.
If that wasn’t impressive enough, the amateur exploration added tables with candles, relaxing inflatable chairs, and vases of fresh flowers.
Even the color scheme seems to match, with yellow and black furniture used throughout.
In another image, the holiday The manufacturer even managed to fit a dining table into his massive tent – complete with two folding chairs.
To make the space even cozier, the camper placed fairy lights around the makeshift dining room and even next for each bed.
For those who miss a good shower at camp, there was even a tent that contained a bathtub perfect for festivals.
Just like a real bathroom, the pop-up tent contained a small sink with soap dispensers, a scented candle, and plenty of space to store toiletries.
While most of us aren’t planning on recreating these elaborate camp setups, the post went viral after Blackpool Lad shared the images.
Less than a week later, the post has received more than 1,300 comments, with many people admitting they would be happy in these tents.
“I would live in this…it’s amazing,” admitted one commenter, while others planned to recreate the impressive tents.
Tagging their loved one, another added: “This is what I want for us, 3 weeks down south, each summer with children and dogs.”
Others joked that this was the kind of camp they would like.
A third joked: “I’ll go camping if we can stay in this tent.”

However, some were not so convinced with all the extra equipment inside the tents.
“Wouldn’t you love transport and prepare all of this to enjoy for 72 hours,” argued another, with a fourth questioning whether the effort would be worth it.
They joked, “No thanks. Where do you get water to fill the bathtub? How do you heat water? …Who wants to spend hours putting everything together? Give me a hotel, please.
A fifth even argued that this wasn’t a real camp, saying: “I think this is absolutely amazing, but I prefer it old school. The normal tent, the sleeping bag, the random location is just wonderful. That’s camping.
Well, at least these tents would keep the kids busy for a few hours.

Three Camping Tips from an Expert
David Scotland owns camping equipment retailer Outdoor World Direct and knows all about making a camping trip go well.
When visiting any campsite this summer, it’s important to make sure you don’t make any simple mistakes that could ruin your vacation.
Check your tent
David recommends setting up your tent a few weeks before your trip to give yourself enough time to repair or replace any damaged parts.
He told Sun Online Travel: “You’d be surprised how many people turn up with broken tents.”
Test the waters
Choosing a good location to pitch your tent is difficult and there are many things to consider.
One of them should be the condition of the land where you are pitching your tent, according to David.
He said: “Once you find the perfect spot, test the ground with your stakes before committing to camping there to make sure the ground is soft enough.”
Don’t take a nap in your tent
It may seem like the perfect place for it, but a nap in a tent can end badly if done at the wrong time of day.
David explained: “If the sun is shining and it’s hot inside your tent – don’t do it!
“One of our friends napped in his tent during a heatwave at Glastonbury and ended up in the medical tent with heatstroke.”
Instead, he recommends finding some shade outside or somewhere well-ventilated.
