is beginning to gain a wide appeal by Lebanon's youth. As a result,
several campsites have sprung up across the country to accommodate
campers during the summer season from May till September. Some of
these camps are well equipped with facilities and have the capacity
to accommodate large groups of people. While other sites are smaller
in size and are intended for small families and couples.
Indeed, camping can be an economic
way for nature-lovers and those with a limited budget to discover
the rich wilderness and national heritage of Lebanon.
