Hilarious Camping Fails in the Great Outdoors

Camping is a rite of passage. Every now and then, we pack up the car with gear and head to a campsite in a state or national park seeking peace and quiet and a chance to enjoy the Great Outdoors.
But, sometimes, it doesn't go well.
And we have some rather hilarious pictures to prove it.
