User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars toooooo much advertising
this magazine has waaay toooo much advertising. the articles are lame, i ordered a subscription after reading a issue somewhere, must have been their 1 good issue. I think i have 3 or 4 of the newest ones laying around somewhere, i dont even think they are worth my time now to read. however, if you need something to start your campfires, order this now. no one will be upset when you burn it.

1 Star Nothing but ads
If they made a television station with nothing but commercials, it would be like this magazine. Had the publisher been more forthcoming, they would have entitled it “RV Reviews” or something of that nature. There is little in this magazine having to do with actual camping. It’s almost exclusively RV articles. I’m not opposed to RV camping (I rather enjoy RV’ing too) but I was under the impression that it covered tent camping as well. It does precious little of that! The most unacceptable portion of the magazine is the fact that it’s just pages and pages of ads for RV’s and RV-related items. I wouldn’t even recommend this to an RV owner as there just really aren’t all that many articles here. The few articles they have are pretty good, but not great. Look elsewhere for a good camping magazine.

5 Stars Great Magazine
I love this magazine not only for the Camper and RV articles but the great assortment of information on destinations, first aid, buyer’s guides etc. And the photography is first rate.

2 Stars ‘Camping Life’ Might Better be called ‘Camper Life’
Although ‘Camping Life’ does contain a nice article or two each issue, the thrust of the magazine seems more to be a showcase of nice big campers/RV’s rather than the experience of camping and related camping activities. I subscribed sight unseen from the boy next door who was selling subscriptions for school. I will definitely let this subscription lapse. There’s just not enough love of camping and the outdoors in the magazine. However, if your camping interests run more to great big RV’s and all the related gear, you might find some value here that I did not.

3 Stars O.k. , but just O.k.!
We recently purchased a popup trailer and subscribed to PopUp Times magazine. I was looking for another magazine also that was devoted to camping and family. Came across Camping Life. I bought an issue to see how we liked it before subscribing. I’m glad I did! While the magazine is O.k., it’s not exactly what I was looking for in a family oriented camping magazine. Seems to me the articles were geared toward upper average income families that just “have to have” the name brand most popular at the time. I felt like I was reading a magazine devoted to “keeping up with the Jones’”! Also, I was a little dissappointed that the magazine only comes out every other month. With as much ads in this magazine, it does not take long to read it.
