Bodega Camping is a term used to describe the practice of sourcing local goods near camping sites, rather than transporting them over long distances.

History
The term Bodega Camping was coined on November 25, 2020 by Todd Bryant when he was trying to solve the problem of carrying food and gear when traveling by motorcycle. The limited availability of space while traveling by motorcycle reminded him of how his family sourced food from local stores when vacationing on Seabrook Island, SC. The choice of the use of the word 'bodega' is significant, as the term reminded him of the smatell owner-operated business of his native Brooklyn, NY. He felt the ideas of small, fast and good were particularly appealing since motorcyclists are always on the move.
