My husband and I camped about 2/3 of the nights along the Camino Frances in July 2014. We preferred camping to dorms because of privacy and snoring stories! We mainly camped at albergues that allowed us to for a cheaper price than a bed, and we could still use the shower and hang out in the...
Hi Brian, great tips! Did you typically wild camp or stay on albergue property? If wild, did you wait until dusk and what did you do with all of your stuff while you waited? Did you get to explore and enjoy dinner in the villages?

I have the same questions! We are planning to go this late June-July, and are trying to decide if we even need a sleeping bag?? Is that crazy or can we get away with a good silk sleep sack?
