… Still in two minds about the holiday. As usual, we can’t agree on anything. Parents complain that they are exhausted and want to get away from it all and lie around by the pool all day – and Egypt then it be. I hate it! Help! What would you tell them to change their mind? And where are you going this year? Could we possibly go together if I fail to make them see my point? Then my folks would get their Egypt and we’d have fun together. Have I told you I’ve passed my driving test? Now that I have a license, we might hire a car and travel around…

Many people nowadays tend to think that camping is the best way to travel around and have a holiday. Still, there are others who argue that it has more shortcomings than benefits. Let’s examine some of the reasons for such differences of attitude and opinion.

Arguments for the statement:
There was a time when camping was considered to be a poor way of spending a holiday: a boy scout or a hard-up student would go for it but not a comfort-loving adult. However, more and more people these days are choosing camping as, first, the discomforts associated with it have vanished. Now we have comfortable tents and portable bungalows with bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and even a porch. Moreover, modern camping sites are equipped with hot and cold running water and even shops and dance floors.
Second, you enjoy absolute freedom as here you really are your own boss: you can go as you please, be out in the wilds, find the site off the beaten track and escape the crowd if you choose so, sleep under the stars and really feel in your element.
Third, you enjoy tremendous mobility. It is ideal for those who like being on the move. Besides, if you dislike the camping site, or if it is too crowded, you can always get up and go.
The last but not the least, the low cost really makes camping an attractive idea.
(On the one hand; the advantages/benefits of (camping) are enormous; on, first…second/third/last (finally); firstly/secondly…lastly; also/besides/moreover/furthermore…)
Arguments against the statement:
On the other hand, it is hard to argue that a camping holiday cannot be as comfortable as the one in the hotel. First, even the cheapest hotels provide meals and you do not have to cook. Besides, the diet of tinned food is boring and unhealthy. In addition, when camping,you have to carry a great number of things so packing and unpacking can become quite a problem. What is more, you have to drive long distances thus the journey tends to be quite tiring. And what about the rain, cold and mosquitoes? Finally, when camping, you do not pay much and do not get much – the living conditions are primitive and most camping sites are even more crowded than hotels.
(However, for every plus there is a minus/On the other hand, the opponents claim/maintain that the disadvantages are numerous; as for the disadvantages/drawbacks/shortcomings (of camping), they are as follows: firstly, secondly…lastly; first, second…last/finally/the last but not the least; moreover; furthermore; besides; also).
On balance then, I would like to draw a conclusion. Although camping is inexpensive and can be attractive if you cannot afford to spend much and enjoy keeping on the move, I still believe that its shortcomings outweigh the benefits and if you really need to unwind and recharge your batteries, it is not an ideal way to spend your holiday.
(to sum up; in a nutshell; to make a long story short; advantages outweigh the disadvantages enormously; I still believe; from my point of view; in my opinion; to my mind)
