Agreed. I have a whole room devoted to my hiking/camping equipment.
I would keep it unfinished, at least for the most part (could have a sort of finished room like how my parents had a sort of play room with a large rug and only furniture and things that aren't going to care if they get a bit wet).
But it's the perfect place for laundry (with the luxury of a huge laundry-room sink), for a workshop, to hide the furnace where its noise won't be noticed, to put the cat litter and a beer fridge, and for storing out of season athletic equipment.
Whenever I see articles about people going minimalist and not needing any storage space because they only have 50 posessions, I figure that they must not have any hobbies that I would like. Pretty hard to have more than a passing interest in sports like cycling/skiing/sailing/ or even tennis without having places to store equipment out of season. Hard to own enough tools to fix your vehicle or build/repair some furniture if you go minimal.
