Campsites that provide everything you need for camping are popping up in Nanjing.
At a campsite in Pukou District are different types of tents on the lawn including pyramid tents, yurt tents and those friendly to families. Such tents are usually fully-equipped with beds, lamps, blankets, quilts, electric fans and other supplies available to make every stay easy and comfortable.
Campers can also rent BBQ grills and access a full range of recreational activities such as flying a frisbee, playing cards and other group games. The campsite also regularly hosts special events such as bonfire parties and outdoor concerts.
Another campsite in Nanjing's Jiangning District suggests visitors to choose service packages that include equipment, food and entertainment programs. The meal services include tables, chairs, outdoor stoves, baking trays, gas, shelves, rubbish bins, high-temperature gloves and camping lights. The total expense including meal and other services is about 1,000 yuan.
The site is full of visitors on weekends and during the holiday. It was fully booked during the first three days in the week-long National Day holiday.

Quite a few campers, however, still prefer self-service. Miss Zhao, who has no less than 20 camping experiences, said she has spent about 10,000 yuan on purchasing camping supplies and she thought they are worth the money if compared with the charges at campsites.
