About Camila Jones
Hey there, I’m Camila Jones! I’m one of the writers here, and I’ve always been that friend who insists you really can fall in love with the outdoors—campfire smoke and all. My camping journey started with clumsy setups and mysterious gear malfunctions, so I know how overwhelming (and hilarious) learning as you go can be. Now, I’m all about experimenting with new gadgets, breaking down camping setups step by step, and jotting down notes to help you skip the trial-and-error phase. Whether you’re a seasoned camper or brand new to sleeping under the stars, I’m here to share real experiences, honest gear reviews, and all the little tricks I wish I’d known years ago. Let’s get outside and figure this out together!
