Camping as a recreational activity became popular among elites in the early 20th century. With time, it grew in popularity among other socioeconomic classes.
Camping in the 1950s was often a simpler and more rustic experience compared to modern camping. Campers typically used canvas tents, sleeping bags, and basic campfire cooking equipment. Outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and roasting marshmallows were popular pastimes.
Camping gear was less advanced, with lanterns fueled by kerosene or propane, and campers relied more on their outdoor skills and resourcefulness. These vintage snapshots were found by Kai Heinrich that captured people camping in the 1950s.
