Camping is a great activity to enjoy with your friends and the best way to live a weekend in the soothing arms of mother nature. Grab your tent and choose a destination you have never been to before, and enjoy sleeping outdoors, campfire evenings, stargazing, and more, away from the noises of the city life and from the internet distracting you from enjoying your physical environment.

Wondering still where to go? Check these Awesome Summer Camping Spots in Lebanon. While there, keep in mind that “we did not inherit these places from our ancestors, we are borrowing them from our children,” as a wise man once said.
