Why do we go camping again?

I have not been camping in a few years, as my husband and I haven't had the cash to purchase a pop-up, and I can't sleep on the ground with a bad back. I remember waking up with the birds, sitting by the lake and watching the sun come up, and feeling the fresh air on my skin. For me, most of the time, it's not about having something to do. It's about getting away from the house and relaxing around a bonfire or fishing, or kayaking/sailing, or even just finding a quiet spot to read a book. Camping is something I miss, a lot.

I went week before last, first time in 5 years. It was really gorgeous and we had fun and it was a lot cheaper than staying in a motel. The 2 am bathroom runs (can't make it through the night lol) are never fun,though.

The last time I went camping I was a girl scout! And it did rain! it was fun But I do remember saying on the last hike that it Was the last hike. But I would love to go camping in the fall instead of the spring and this time in a cabin , not a tent. I'm 10 anymore, lol!

Hi Bounce Personally I don't like anything about campingI don't like the woods,creepy crawlies,I don't like fishing or hunting and when I go to sleep I want to sleep in a BED not a sleeping bag in a tent if I want to see the stars I'll go out on my deck and look at them ,I ain't pitchin no tent I ain't rubbing no sticks together to start a fire and I am definitely not going to the bathroom in the woods or wiping my butt with any leaves. When I get hungry I wanna eat...real food I ain't tryin to eat nothin I gotta KILL skin or gutI am not a mountain lion so I don't feel the need to stalk or sneek up on my food. And I don't want any marshmellow smore's just give me a bag of M&M's and we can call it a night and finally I have seen way to many bear stories on TV associated with campers Now I may have a very old fashioned and outdated way of looking at camping I know techonology has come a long way but I have a coworker who told me thats how they go camping when they go they call it roughing it

It has been a long time since I went on a camping. Usually, what we do during rest day and weekends is spending an overnight in a beach resort. The kids are still too young for camping. My oldest is just 11 months old and the youngest is just 2 weeks old. However, I'd like to try camping out with the kids and friends. My idea of camping though is just doing it in a resort where someone could clean the mess for us after. It's very usual here in our city that people go camping near the seashore. We don't need to bring tents because we just need to rent from the resort. What usually motivates me to camp is the thought that I'd be spending it with very close friends and hubby. The kids can be taken care of by the Nanny. lolz.

Oh my! The worst of it all would be the being un-plugged from the internet, GASP! When my son was young, we camped at least a weekend a month, as we lived in south Florida. And, of course, plenty of rained on stay-in-the-tent days! The last time I went camping was in 1999 at my family reunion. Seventy six of us, camped out for ten days on my Aunt's five acres. And most of us brought our dogs, too! It was absolutely awesome! The wonder of it all will be held within for the rest of my life.

i have pretty severe arthritis and i havent gone camping for a long time because for me, its too hard to sleep on the ground.

When I was a teenager, I used to go camping all the time during the summer. However, since I was pregnant with my daughter, I haven't been camping at all. The first summer the reason was that the heat was so oppressive that I couldn't handle it. Then since the kids have been born we haven't taken the time to go camping because neither myself nor my husband really know how the children will react to it. My son is afraid of mosquitos and I don't think that we would be able to avoid them.
