Has Anyone Been Camping Before .......... In The Lounge? LOL

That sounds like so much fun...I remember as a kid...camping outdoors BUT we frequently made "tents" out of blankets and sheets...so thank you for that memory...

We have a pop up tent camper and we frequently go camping by the river that we prefer to swim in...it is gorgeous there and I have encluded a photo for your viewing pleasure...LOL

Hello Maddysmom!

My son camps sometimes in his room…lol.. He has a bunk bed and on the top bunk he has his tent all set up and ready. He would only play in the tent though, I actually set it up so that he can sleep in his own room but he still sleeps in my room.
He plays in the camp most of the time but that’s about it…lol..

When my son was about 10 we camped out in the basement..We didn't have a real tent, so we put a couple of blankets over the close line in the basement..We were sleeping on an air mattress..No sleep for me because my son was all over that mattress..I was bouncing all over the place....LOL...I told him never again..LOL

When I was young, we did the same thing with the sheets and blankets. I never thought about camping with my nieces and nephews, but I six feet tall, I am sure I would have made the perfect tent pole, LOL. I did enjoy watching then camp out in their room under their sheets though.

Hi maddysmommy, that sounds really cool! I'm sure he enjoyed it. My children are grown, but the boys used to "camp" in their bedromms like you said with the blanket propped up.
When they got older we took them real camping. The only thing my daughter like about camping was going home, and I didn't blame her much!:)

My nephews and nieces when they get together, they use exercsie mats, mattress and bedsheets to build a "camping tent" and the four of them would squeeze into the tent, one moment pretending to sleep and the next moment it was morning. My role in it? To hold the tent so that it will not fall off. lol. I do not remember having such luxuries when I was young. Now my mother (their grandmother) allows them to wreck the mattress and bedsheets. So unfair.

Our kids have set up the tent in the basement rec room and the living room. They love camping. It's better than the real camping where you have to use dirty showers and washrooms.

Our tent is now damaged and my eldest wants me to buy a new one, even though the camping will remain in our backyard. Things just don't last very long anymore.

I'm sure you and your son had some fun. My husband and the kids used to have pyjama picnics in the diningroom before we had any diningroom furniture. That's when the kids were little. Now they are at an age where everything they want to do costs a good deal of money. Enjoy the cheap fun with the little ones before they get old enough to realize the better stuff costs a lot of money. They will have fond memories though, especially if you take pictures.

Awwww...you're a good mama!:) I used to set up chairs and drape blankets over them when I was litle. That was as far as my camping experiences ever went. It sounds like you went all out for his camping trip.

I've been camping before but never indoors! It does sound like fun and I'm sure your son enjoyed it. My apartment is way to small to try it.

Me and my younger brother used to do it all the time when we were alot younger as kids, it was so much fun and we really had a ball with it. I mean we used to be in our element, it was our own little world and we tried to make it exciting even when it used to fall apart on us as we used to use blankets and chairs to construct our tent and everything else was pretend and our toys were placed in there and we sometimes pretended it was like a castle or something, I smile when I think back on those times.
