Or do you even like to go camping? Do you like getting away from the maddening croud? Do you enjoy the fresh air and hiking in the woods? Do you enjoy fishing and relaxation? Do you enjoy the campfire, the stars and eating outside? What is it about camping out that you enjoy most?

I am going to go camping for the first time ever since I was a kid, that is. I am going to pack vegan hot dogs, and vegan chocolate and vegan marshmallows, and my friend and I are going to rent a boat. I need to get away from it all, internet included. A breather is always good.

Food always tastes better when prepared outside. I like to camp near a lake because I Love the water. The campfire is really important, as well. I have not gotten to go camping enough this summer.

I love to hear the water trickling by. It is very soothing. Can we ever do enough camping in a given summer?

I love to go camping. I started camping with my family when I was a baby and I have loved it since. We always had a camper so we never roughed it. We always camped about an hour from home and there was so much to do there. There was a pool, a park, a tennis court, a place to ride bikes, a volley ball court, a baseball field, and a river close. It was so much fun and many memories were made. Now that I am an adult, I camp with my family still. We went from a tent to a van, to a pop up to a full sized camper. We go with all my sisters and their families and my aunt and uncle as well. We like to sit around the fire and talk and have some drinks as well. We eat good food and the guys often go fishing or play poker. We will make group meals too. It is so much fun we try to do it every other weekend. We switch campgrounds from time to time so it never gets boring.

The whole idea of geting back in touch with nature. When I go camping, I feel more relaxed and am able to clear my mind and just eenjoy nature. No distractions, no noisy traffic, no telephone ringing, just nature and all there is in it to enjoy.

I haven't gone camping for a while, but one of my friends and I went camping some years ago and we had a really good time. We went to a different part of the country. I had never been there before, and it was great to see something different. We walked around for many hours, and the area was very beautiful. We cooked dinner outside, and it was very nice and different to eat like that. I also enjoyed the peacefulness and the fresh air very much.

I love the fresh air when I go camping. Whenever I go camping I always wake up at 6 a.m. automatically when in the city, it would take two alarm clocks with snooze features to wake me up. I also love cooking outdoors. We would do some bbq chicken wings, corn on the cob and smores. I love camping.

Hey celtic! I used to love camping in my younger days! I used to go camping all the time! And I mean roughing it camping! Not at camp grounds, but into the woods! In fact, one weekend me and a few couples took a trip down the Delaware River Water Gap in canoes where we had to pack up our camping gear every night for three nights until we made it to where we had parked the cars! I was never so exhausted in my life! But, I was young then! Now, there is no way in hell I would go camping! I am too lazy and too used to the comforts of home! Although, I do still love nature, just need it to be closer to home nowadays! But, I do have many fond memories of camping trips!

I love camping with my gf, it gives us time to just us two. We get to just hang out the two of us, but soon we will have a son so it will be even more fun to go camping.

the things i usually enjoy about the outdoors are the natural beauty of it all. i love making Macgyver stuff out of items commonly found. learning more about survival out in the wild those are just a few examples that i can mention and also it lets me connect with nature i love it. for some though it is a nightmare! they just cant handle not having toilet paper... lol
