Well, heck yeah! Family vacations when I was growing up were always camping vacations. We even dug our own latrines.

yup, when I was at sleepaway camp, we left our cozy cabins for a few days and roughed-it. The best part were the dugout firepits where we would put weiners or marshmallows on twigs and roast them, singing fun songs like Kumbaya! (and the counsellors would tell ghost-stories but I wasn't a fan... too chicken.)

A few times. One of my best memories was a night that it poured rain in a big thunderstorm. We managed to get the tent set-up before the rain started. It was warm and dry in the tent. Of course it was pitch black (unless you live in the country, you probably have no understand of what it is like to be truly in the dark) and then there was lightning that lit up the tent. The rain was musical. The best part was the sun came out and it was warm and lovely in the morning.

Yes, throughout childhood and the early days of my marriage. In Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New Hampshire and Vermont, mostly. I loved it! (Well, except for that time a grasshopper hopped across some aluminum foil we had laid inside our tent below the then-dark lantern . . . makes an incredibly scary sound, I assure you. And then there was the time we camped by a stream and some wild thing began crashing through the woods, and even our dog Jake could tell IT was headed straight for our camp. [While Jake (our dog) dived into the bottom of the sleeping bag, I saved us all by screaming.] I still love camping, but admit that nowadays, I'd prefer to rent a little cabin with real washrooms and beds. And a washer and dryer. And an air conditioner. And a fridge and stove . . . and . . . Heh

Yes, I love to camp. But, I do like to be near the restrooms. It's heck in the middle of the night when you have to walk a ways...LOL We also love renting cabins. There are camping cabins which you need to bring the essentials. Those are fun, too.

Not at ALL as a child. Mom's idea of vacation did NOT include roughing it and didn't even feature her having to cook. Two vacations I remember involved all of us going to the country club we belonged to every single day, mom and dad would play golf, we'd be in the kid area and I think we got swimming lessons too and each and every night dad too us out to dinner.. that was her vacation. She had to go along on girl scout troop camps, being a co-leader, but for the winter camping one she cleverly said it would be "nice for Lynn to go on a GS activity without mom along". LOL. As an adult, I've camped in various places.. Death Valley, Mineral King, Big Sur, Lake Cahuma, some place near the border when we found out my BIL, being a Turkish citizen, wasn't welcom in Mexico, so instead of camping on a Mexican beach, we camped near snow . Also did tents when I took backpacking class and once on a river rafting trip. That is quite a lot considering I'm with landi and Wargod and others in my preferences.
