Tent Camping on the Camino?

[travelingdina]

Hi All,

So I realize that the auberges is an important part of the Camino experience, but I have a lot of difficulty sleeping in dorms for a variety of reasons.

So, I would like to bring my very small, ultra-lightweight tent as insurance in case I truly need the privacy & quiet it can provide.

Is it possible to camp along the way, for example on the grounds of the auberges for a small fee? Or, are there fields we can just... camp in? (Not sure if that would be safe.)

Thanks for any advice!

It's no problem. Once I slept in the albergue yard and twice completely outdoor, and it was fine I had no tent, but it wasn't too cold in the summer
Many of my friends camped almost every other night (with a tent or not) and they had no problem (except for ants or rain for few nights).

I'm also thinking about camping most of the way. Can you camp anywhere thats not private property or are there designated places to camp?
