Be closer to nature at the Outdoor Expo North 2023 on Feb. 24-26

If you’re fed up with always going to the beach or to a swanky hotel for your vacation, why not try camping in your car?

The Outdoor Expo North 2023 lets you do just that by offering space for up to 400 campers at the Alviera Estate in Porac, Pampanga.

Each camper will get around 30 square meters of camping space, with bathroom facilities available onsite.

The organizers said in a press statement that expected temperatures from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. are 30 to 34 degrees Celsius and below 20 degrees Celsius at night.

Campers who want to build a bonfire must bring their own pit.

The first-ever Outdoor Expo North will be on February 24 to 26, 2023, and aims to be the largest gathering of outdoor products and services.

The three-day event will also include talks about Overlanding (traveling and camping with vehicles), Camping outdoors cooking, motorcycle trail clinics, offroad clinics, and more. 

Other cool activities include:
