Do you like to camp?

Years ago as ann adult I had my first camping experience. My dad owned a lake and that lake was surrounded by hill and bluffs. I loved hiking those hills so when my birthday came around we decided to go camping. My dad took our gear up to the top of a bluff horseback and I and my kids walked up. I enjoyed this part. Never having been camping before I depended on Dad to tell us what to do. We sat watching cars on the highway and just looking around. It got dark very fast and we were setting out our bedding in the dark with just a fire to see by. We were sleeping under the stars with out tents. We cooked our supper then went to bed . Then the wind came up as it will on a bluff. I spent the whole night chasing blankets and putting out the embers from the fire that blew around. That was my only real camping experience and will be the only one.

i love camping! i respect you opinion. some might like camping but some also didn't. in camping i found it adventurous moment which is my like since i am a child. i am a mountaineers then, we always make camping at the top of the mountain. it felt satisfaction if i go out for camping than staying in a hotel although i like also to stay in a hotel but there big difference of the 2. i prefer to choose camping than in hotel. i respect your opinion about this. don't worry i understand you my friend.

hi kbjunior15 no I do not like to camp, not in a tent not with crawling bugs and insects, or rains, or electric storms or hard ground with treeroots, I can camp if Ican stay in a cabin with no bugs, no insects, no rain dripping on me, no sleeping in sleeping bags on hard ground with tree roots digging into my back. I love the out doors but not sleeping in it, I love hiking in the forest, but no tents and no sleeping bags, no insects, no bears just prettyscenery and a babbling brook.

I have to agree with you,I can not stand going out somewhere camping,and I have only been camping once,and that was a disaster it was when I was in the boy scouts,and me, my mother,and my father,it was like January because it was really cold,and I do not know why we were camping in that weather,all I know is I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go to the bathroom,and when I came back in the tent,since I was half asleep apparently instead of getting in my sleeping bag,I got under it and was laying on the freezing ground,until my father woke up,because he heard me shivering,and he saw I was under my sleeping bag,when we got home from that trip,we never went camping again,and I do not plan on ever going again,and I agree with one hundred percent,give me a hotel with a nice pool,on a warm beach somewhere,and I will be happy and will not complain lol.

Camping is definately not for me,I always went to camp as a kid,and I hated it even then,so theres little chance that now im an adult that im going to like it any better.the whole thing is just a pain,using a portaloo,and washing in a sink,cleaning you teeth with a teaspoon of water,and trying to use the portaloo in the middle of the night so that no one hears you,believe me camping is just a form of punishment to me.

I like to go in camping....I enjoy adventures, I like to go in beautiful place as I appreciate natures & wonders in this world..

I love to camp. We ahvent done it this year becasue I dont know what to do with the dog and he is not a good camper. Alos, we are getting kind of old to sleep on the ground. I prefer camping in a cabin. We went last labor day and thought cabin camping was the way to go.

I don't like tent camping but I do like camping with a camper. In the past, we had a popup camper, which was okay, but too close to tenpt camping. Later on we had a big fifth-wheel camper with all the amenities, and that was great. A lot of people wouldn't actually call it camping, but we like it.

I absolutely detest camping, it all started in school when my Mum very kindly volunteered me for a weeks camping experience with school. All the popular girls went and they spent the whole week making mine and my friends life a misery with their ways. It rained the whole time, I had sheep and bugs in my tent, I was covered constantly in mud, chased by a bull and I had to climb rocks. I was so glad when it was over and thought I would never have to do anything like that again. WRONG. I started work and was on an apprenticeship with a big company, after about 2 weeks of being there we found out we were to go on a team building experience, yep you guessed it, camping, or outward bounds as they described it. And I had to go. Again, I spent the whole week being picked on by all the girls who bullied me that bad I had a panic attack, I again had to rock climb and do things I was petrified of doing and when I did not the girls would come at me saying I was letting the team down and made a meal out of it. I never suffered panic attacks but that week I had three. I had my revenge though, when I got back the part of the company I was working in decided to employ me full time and I was the first out of them all to get a full time job HA. Just a shame it did not come a week earlier!

I tried camping once when I was still a kid and we really had so much fun. My kids are having their camping soon and they are very much excited. I knew a lot who really enjoy camping though it really depends to each individual. Since there are also disadvantages like what you mentioned, many people also don't like camping.

I haven't camped yet.But i 'd like to.It must be great to see the stars in the dark sky and the sea winds blow over my face.This was just a surprise!^^Well,maybe next time you should prepare well.

yup. camping when you dont have any other facilities and no body to help you is truely not advisable. you need to take all the things required before you even plan to go out camping.

Oh gosh, camping is definitely on my list of things not to do. Anywhere there are bugs and not a really toilet sounds like a horrible place to me! I'll like go and hang out with my friends for the day at a campsite, maybe chill by the fire for a few hours but then I am out of there!! LOL I think the best part would be the roasting marshmellows!

Well, I've never been camping, so I'd like to experience it atleast once. Stinks you had such a bad time. =[

Minus the rain and insects, then camping is fine. Or else give me the comfort of my home or likewise.

Tent camping....no way!! I do love to camp though. I camp in our travel trailer. It has a bathroom with shower, kitchen with oven, stove, microwave, AC and heat, we bring tv's with us too. Some people say this isn't real camping, but it is as close as I am going to get.

Camping is great but perhaps it is not for everyone lol. Sorry to hear abour your bad experience.

i have never been camping, apart of me is a little afraid because of all the horror movies i watch that are about a group of people camping, but all in all i think i would go if it were with a bunch of my family members.

I'm with you on that one. I us to like it, when I was a lot younger, and my kids were a lot younger. Its just a lot of work. If I want to work I'll go to my job where they'll give me a check. My daughter is always asking when are we going camping again.? I just put her off. When every thing is set up, My husbands job is done. I work the whole trip ! GIVE ME A HOTEL WITH SAND AND A POOL AND I'M GOOD ! ;-)

i havent experienced it yet. but i wanna try it sometime. in our country i never heard of camping place but if theres ill invite my family to do it.
