When you go camping do you use a tent or a camper?

We always use tents, with our many ice chest, coleman stove, lanterns, folding tables, lawn chairs, decks of cards, and board games. We have a boat that we use to fish, ski, and suba dive, and then at night if we are not night fishing we play games. My parents had a camper and I always thought that a camper is not really camping. Camping is suppose to be roughing it, and bringing the family closer together because there is no TV, or plug ins for your Xbox, Wii, or anything else. So how about you what do you use to go camping?

We use a tent....always. Using a camper is cheat-camping. When I was younger, I didn't even use a tent...just a sleeping bag. There is nothing like it. The whole point in camping is to "get away from it all". Campers are just a place to stay when you don't want to pay for a motel room....not when you want to go camping.

Hello,
When I go camping, I usally use a tent instead of a camper, although campers seems really nice, I have a few friends that have campers and they treat thm as their mobile camping homes. I think using a tent is more fun when you are camping in my opinion, it gives you that real felling that you are actually away in the woods and camping. I thought about investing ina camper, but I changed my mind, I guess I will stick to tents for now.
Happy My Lotting!

I think a camper definitely has some good purposes. But I have always loved tent camping. I love having to cook over the fire. We have cast iron dutch ovens and frying pans that we have had forever. They are so well seasoned that the food always comes out perfect. It is always fun to cook the hot dogs and marshmallows over the fire.
I also love being so close to nature. I love listening to the rain against the tent. I love hearing the birds chirp in the morning.
I also love having to cuddle in close to my husband on the cooler nights. It just feels so amazing.
I know so many people who say they could never go camping in a tent. I think they just dont know what they are missing. You can go so many places with a tent that you cant go with a camper!
