Are there any campers on here? i am big time, I do it all the time out on our big block we have:) . I have two swags, there both beautys.
Every year we go to a place in porpunkah callled porpunkah pines, for 2 weeks, we always go excatly 2 weeks after christamas. Great fun. We bring the whole mums side of the family down, my5 cousins, my 4 uncles and my 3 aunties. Its basically this massive camping ground, with lots and units that people rent. Our family normally has a lot next to each other. The camping resort has a river right next to it, which is great to go into on a hot summer day. Me and jake (cousin my age) just get up to misheif and be dumb .
Its the sorta place were people go continuesly the same time every year, so I basically know most of the people that stay there when we do.

So is anyone else a camper??

I love to camp. My son and I have camped for at least a week each summer in Rocky Mountain National Park. He is 17 now and we have done this each summer since he was 4. We also camp other places as well and make a couple week trip out of it. One year we camped at the Grand Canyon, then drove to RMNP for our week of camping there. Another year we added the Mt. Rushmore area to our trip. Also Arches National Park. I ask my son each year where should we go, and he always wants to camp at RMNP. It's a tradition. Of course we have weekend camping trips as well, but Rocky Mountain National Park is our annual tradition.

Sweet! Camping truly is great fun, the only problem is i cant bring my guitar when we go to porpunkah pines

Love to go camping! we just bought a sweet Montana tent. The thing is huge.... gonna use it for an epic bowhunting trip this fall...

I grew up almost always living in a rural setting. Camping can be a little pup tent to a big tag-along. I love it all.

When I ride almost 2,000 miles to Sturgis, South Dakota I take a 4 man tent and a lot of other little things I can pack on a motorcycle and spend two weeks living in a tent. You find you don't really need much but a few nice small items make it comfy.

Me (on left) and nephew in August of 2006 at the Glencoe Campground in Sturgis. It was over 100 °F when we rolled in and setup the tents that day. Then we had to ride back to Rapid City to pick his wife up at the airport! Not fair!

That cold beer was awesome!

My wife, kids & I love to camp... Well I don't think you could call what we do camping. Our fifth wheel is on a seasonal site in Massachusetts right on a lake. That's my idea of camping; Cable TV, ceiling fan, A/C, 2 bedrooms... We love it, it's like a mini vacation every weekend.

Not me. I'd rather sleep in my own bed with all the comforts of home. Obviously, YMMV.

You've got to try a camper... Seriously I have a queen bed, shower, oven, stove, microwave, the kids (well teenagers) have their own room with a desk and a closet. All the comforts of home. Sometimes I think my camper is nice than my house.

Understood. Yet, to my way of thinking, that's not camping in the true sense of the word. To me, camping is being in the woods somewhere with maybe a tent. You're camper sounds like a mobile hotel room suite (which SURELY isn't a bad thing).

Gotcha!!! I hear where you're coming from!

I own some land Upstate NY...13 acres with a cabin on it thats bordered by 5000 acres of logging land. When we get a campfire going theres nothing like it. Power lines to off road on and plenty of wildlife around. Great place to target shoot, hunt, fish, or just hang out and enjoy the scenery. I have black bears living in a den on the back of my property so you have to be aware cause some of them are over 400 lbs. One growled us off a BBQ we had going one night, the guys that were cooking ran into the cabin so fast they looked like the 3 stooges trying to get in the door at the same time. One of the funniest times we had.

Went camping just last weekend (up at Mansfield - Riley would know where this is). Unfortunately we had some of the worst weather on record. The tent leaked on the first night. For the second night I put a tarp over it for extra protection. By the next morning our campsite was practically a lake!
The only thing that seemed not to mind was this fella who I found under the tent when I packed it up...

Yep,
Camp & Kayak.
Most years we spend a week doing an equipment shake down in July and then all of August in the Canadian north bush.
Great way to add to our image stock library.
Been much easier and more fun since we got the Jeep, after tearing out a pile of metal from the underside of my old truck going over some rocks
This year is messed up a bit with weddings on the first 2 weekends of August

If you consider going to a provincial park and setting up a tent in a small site with lots of other tents set up a few feet from yours, drunk idiots making lots of noise all hours of the night and people walking through your campsite, then yes, I go camping.

I used to go camping a lot before my back packed it in.One day while out 4 wheeling I discovered a beautiful clearing off a secluded woods road but strangely it was covered with garbage obviously left by someone who had been camping there for some time and had given it up after they had messed it up sufficiently.Myself and several like minded friends spent several weekends there cleaning up the mess and bringing it to a dump. After we cleaned it up we all brought our kids there every weekend for 3 summers and went swimming in the nearby pond it was an idyllic place, I often wonder what it's like now.
