If Camping's Your Game, Visit an Ecovillage or Intentional Community

So you want to go camping and you don't know where to go? Here's an alternative suggestion - try camping at an ecovillage.

More than 1,000 intentional communities are scattered all throughout the United States of America, so finding an ecovillage near you should be surprisingly easy. Camping at an ecovillage provides all the benefits of camping, such as getting closer to nature and getting away from a fast
 paced life. Additionally, visiting an ecovillage may provide extra unexpected benefits. First, you may learn something. Also, when it comes to the bare essentials, you can not get any more essentially bare than at an ecovillage. If you really want to rough it, then a trip to an ecovillage is, without question, your only choice.

Afterwards, you'll appreciate your everyday amenities and luxuries that much more. Take it from someone who lived at an ecovillage for half of 2007, which was a wonderful experience, having never even previously visited one. Furthermore, I recommend that everyone should visit an ecovillage during their lifetime. There's no reason not to. It's typically relatively cheap, as ecovillage members are often less capitalistic than much of the rest of the World. I guarantee you won't be bored, you'll consistently be intrigued by something or someone at the ecovillage and you may yearn to return. Truly, if you're thinking about going camping anyway, then you must camp at an ecovillage.

I have a few articles pertaining to ecovillages, so far. I lived at an ecovillage last year and plan on visiting more in the future.

As many of the commenters have said, I too have never heard of eco-villages. Interesting concept. Thanks.

This sounds like something my husband and I would enjoy. Maybe when the kids get a little older, we make it a family experience!

Very interesting. Unfortunately, in my family, I'd probably be the only one interested in visiting an ecovillage. Maybe someday I'll go as a getaway :)

I haven't heard of ecovillages or intentional communities either. Interesting.

I had never heard of an ecovillage before, thanks for the info. I will have to check into one once the little guy is older.
