Founder’s Note
Hi, my name is Evan Waldeis, and I’d like to share a bit about my story and why I started The Comfortable Camper.
Growing up, my family would visit local campgrounds as an affordable way to get out of the house. For us, it was more than just a vacation—it was our time to reconnect. Those early trips sparked something in me, and I wouldn’t trade those experiences for anything. They shaped who I am today.
As I got older, camping became more than just a family tradition; it became my escape. My dad, older brother, and I took our adventures to a whole new level when I discovered backpacking. For those unfamiliar, backpacking is when you carry everything you need for days—or even weeks—on your back and heading into the wilderness. Living in New York, we often explored the Adirondack Mountains, trekking for miles to find remote campsites.
Some people might think it’s silly to work so hard just to sleep in the woods, but for me, it was a way to connect—with myself, with nature, and with my family. Of course, those adventures weren’t without challenges.
Like the time in Colorado when my dad decided to wake up early and hike up the mountain we were parked at without telling me. I waited for hours, growing more anxious, until after about six hours, I decided to hike up with a stranger to see if I could find him. It wasn’t long before I ran into him halfway up the mountain. With a grin on his face, he suggested I continue to the top because “the view was worth it.” (Spoiler: He was right, but I was still mad!)

Or the time I got lost during a “peaceful” bathroom break. I ended up frantically sprinting through the woods, blowing my whistle until my brother finally ran me down and brought me back to camp.
Moments like these taught me invaluable lessons that go beyond camping.
Those same lessons inspired me to build this website. The Comfortable Camper exists to help you take that first step into the wilderness with confidence. Whether you’re figuring out the right gear, planning meals, or learning how to camp overnight, I’m here to make it simple and enjoyable.
Nature is unpredictable—it’s awe-inspiring, intimidating, and beautiful all at once. But that’s what makes it so incredible. Once you experience it, you’ll understand. So, dive into the website, use the tools, soak up the knowledge, and let’s explore together.
