    We love camping. In the summer every weekend we hit a new place. We have a tent because you can go to some pretty remote areas when you are tenting. I love sitting around the campfire at the end of the day and throwing back some cold ones. Winters are so long when you are waiting for camping season to arrive.

    I do, actually. Too bad the weather won't be decent for camping for a couple of months at least, but this summer I plan on going camping for a long time, since my work will allow more free days. :p Should be a lot of fun!

    Yes I am really looking forward to the camping season this year. It is my favorite time of year! The only thing is that it passes too quickly.

    If you are referring to a spacious motor home equipped with a full bathroom, kitchen and a television, then yes I do! I have been camping with my dad many times, and it never fails the tent we get has a hole, gets put on a huge rock or stump or is on a hill and I feel like I am falling off a cliff while sleeping. I would love to enjoy camping and wildlife safely from the comfort of a queen size bed in a fully furnished RV!

    A lot of people prefer camping that way. We have a travel trailer as well but we prefer tenting. For us is gives us a much better camping experience. Everybody is different though. Camping is enjoyable no matter how you choose to do it.

    I love nature ans of course love camping. I have plans to go in near future with a friend and we will hit the hills around our city. Naturally, we are waiting for some hotter weather so we can sleep there without having to worry about getting sick. I also respect nature and I think we all should remember not to leave things behind us or be careless with fire.

    It does pass quickly, but if you were able to go camping the whole year the experience would become bland. I feel that it's good to have a balance when it comes to fun experiences, so you don't get burned out.

    Yes I suppose that it true but I could use a few more months of it. My tent is my happy place. It doesn't matter where we camp at I am just happy to be out in nature. Some of my best memories have been made during our camping adventures. So many good times.

    Oh got that right. Sadly there are some irresponsible campers out there. So if we come across a place where there is garbage or a fire not put out probably we will always stop and do our part to make sure it is left the way nature is meant to be. It irks me when people leave garbage all around. That is totally unacceptable.

    Yes I actually like camping, especially if we make some good food. In fact i think that I'm going to gather some really good recipes for the next time that I go camping with some of my best buds. Some good brew and some even better stuffed burgers and I won't go home for a week.

    Now that is my idea of a good time. Stuffed burgers and beer sound awesome. And a week of camping..that would be heaven!!

    Honestly, not really. Oh, I enjoy a good hike at times, but not camping out overnight. Just not my bag. Though I can see how one might enjoy.

    Yeah, I love camping, but I haven't gone for years. I don't have anyone to go with, and at my age..not really interested in crawling in and out of tents. If I had some kind of pop up I would go for sure. It's not as cheap as it once was either.

    I only enjoy it in the fall when the vegetation is less, the bugs aren't as rampant, and the allergies for me are a bit down as well.

    I also enjoy the campfires and cooler weather.

    Summer camping = NO THANKS for me!!

    Then again, when we went with summer camp as kids, it was ALWAYS fun, so maybe summer camping is fine too!

    I only went camping once in my life and did enjoy it, but never made the time to do it again. I don't have any camping equipment so for that reason alone I have put it off.

    I used to really love camping but I haven't been in a very long time. Not since my grandma died a decade ago.

Yеs - by thе еnd оf my fivе dаy trip, I wаs соvеrеd in dirt, swеаt, аnd blооd. But I spеnt thоsе dаys surrоundеd by mаjеstiс rеdwооds. I stumblеd оut оf wооds tо sее widе еxpаnsеs оf сrystаl сlеаr wаtеr in thе lаkеs. I mеt fаsсinаting tоurists frоm аrоund thе wоrld.

    Im not really one for the outdoors. When i am camping though i enjoy getting lost in the woods and canoeing. I guess its fair to say that the outdoors are pretty fun.
