Ahh, camping: a serene activity that can reset your mind and help you relax… or at least it’s supposed to be. However, sometimes things go awry and plans get changed – especially when you’re at Mother Nature’s mercy. Let’s see if these happy (and unhappy) campers have any tips… or tales of caution!

This cat is proof that maybe you should think twice about whether camping is right for you. This cat thought it would be a blast, but this picture shows that it was oh so wrong! This little guy has seen some stuff.

Sometimes it isn’t Mother Nature that ruins your camping trip – sometimes it’s an S.O.B. in a gigantic truck. This inconsiderate individual decided peeling out in the mud was more important than, you know, treating other people with respect. I’m sure these campers were glad when this guy left.

When you spend all of your money on a Lamborghini, you can live in it! This creative camper used his luxury home/car as a clothesline. Who says rich people aren’t down to earth?

We have a feeling that this camper isn’t going to have a girlfriend when he gets back home. At least he can snuggle with his trusty bicycle.

If you want luxury camping then an RV is the way to go. Unfortunately they are very expensive. The good news is that you can make one like this family did! Maybe they sell them on Etsy!

It’s not uncommon to accidentally jump in the water with your phone in your pocket. This person thought their phone was safe on dry land. Oof! They forgot about those pesky summer storms. We hope they have Apple Care.

So you left your tent at home? No big deal. When camping in the hot sun wears you out, you can pretty much fall asleep anywhere! This guy’s ingenuity is A+.

We hope this is an old mailbox. If not, these clever campers are setting federal property on fire. That’s worse than ripping the tag off of your mattress!

Did they bring the horse with them, or is he an intruder? Either way, it doesn’t look like this horse has realized he isn’t going to fit into that thing. I’d hate to be in that tent!

Camping on the beach can be an amazing, beautiful experience. Just remember not to set up camp too close to the water. Tides plus tents don’t mix!

And we thought the horse in the tent was scary. This lion on the plains in Africa wants this man’s tent – and he has a gun! You better give him your tent, man.

This couple is in for a wet surprise when they wake up. This prank could end with somebody being eaten by an alligator, or at the least end a friendship – We do not recommend this.

Camping trips are so fun and they can be something to look forward during the boring workweek. But not matter how excited you are, you might need to reschedule if the forecast is a tsunami.

We will give credit to these campers for the ingenuity, but we don’t think we would want to eat anything grilled over a toilet bowl. We will take a cold one from the tank, however!

You know those plastic spikes that come with a tent? Yeah… those are for securing the tent to the ground. This is a good example of what can happen when you decide to skip the stakes! Goodbye tent. You’ll be missed.

This watercraft looks a little ridiculous, but it’s actually really cool! A picnic table, a trolling motor, an umbrella, and a cooler are all these guys need to have fun on the river.

Are there any animals that don’t attack tents? Maybe these campers should have cooked their food over an old toilet bowl. Not even the bears would touch that.

This looks like a really fun camping trip. But if the group of campers chug all of this top shelf booze on their trip, they probably won’t remember most of it. We would still go with them.

It’s really cool to see the Duchess of Cambridge hanging out in a raggedy tent. However, the look on her face says that she is used to nicer digs.

At a glance this photo looks like a lazy river ride; but upon closer inspection we see that it is another flooded campsite. Do people know they can check the radar on their phone?

Let’s be honest – this is pretty trashy. And trash isn’t supposed to be on the campgrounds. Move your tent away from them!

This tent looks like one you’d make in your living room for your kids. I’m not sure I would use it for actual camping. It does not seem safe – especially after all of the animal intruders we have seen!
