I Want to Start Camping but I hate tents. [View all]

I really want to start camping but I hate tents. I hate how stuffy they are. Every time I've ever slept in a tent I feel I can barely breath, especially on warm nights. I would rather spend the night getting bit up by Mosquitoes sleeping outside rather than sleep in a damn tent.

Does anyone else have this problem ?

If so what alternatives do you use if any ?

Thanks in advance
