People who go camping are happier and more relaxed than those who don't, research finds

The countryside has come to London – with a campsite experience appearing at London’s King’s Cross station. Hundreds of passers-by took time out of their day to enjoy a moment with nature among a scene of greenery, accompanied by the sounds and smells associated with the great British countryside – as well as a short, guided meditation exercise.

The immersive campsite experience was created after university research found those who go camping are happier than those who don’t.

The study of 10,992 people found 48 per cent of campers feel generally happy, compared to just 35 per cent of non-campers.
