Podcast with Janine Pettit

“You don’t need a fancy camper or the perfect gear. Just show up and find your place in the circle — there’s no wrong way to camp like a girl.”
— Janine Pettit, Founder of Girl Camper

Find Your Way to Camp Like a Girl

At Girl Camper, we say it often — there’s no wrong way to camp like a girl! Whether you love the comfort of an RV or the simplicity of a tent, every woman can find her way to enjoy the outdoors.

In this episode of the Girl Camper Podcast, founder Janine Pettit shares all the different ways women camp: car camping, cabin rentals, hammock hanging, tent camping, and RV life. It’s a reminder that adventure doesn’t require perfection — just a willingness to go.

Real Stories from the Road

Janine shares stories of women who found creative ways to join in — from first-timers renting a cabin to seasoned campers who’ve traded pop-ups for motorhomes. Each story is a testament to the spirit of adventure, courage, and community that defines Girl Camper.

She also offers practical advice for anyone who’s been thinking, “Maybe someday…”
You’ll learn how to:

• Borrow or rent gear to get started
• Try RV Share or Outdoorsy before buying
• Tent camp comfortably and affordably
• Join your local Girl Camper guide event

Start Where You Are

Not sure where to begin? Janine’s message is clear — just start. The magic of Girl Camper is in showing up, meeting new friends, and finding your place around the campfire.

“You don’t need to wait for perfect. Grab what you have, borrow what you can, and come camp with us.”
