I camp all summer! I have a 40 foot trailer with heat, A/C, 2 cable TV's, built in radio / CD, microwave, shower, bathtub, and Queen size master bedroom. The kids have their own bunk room. We have a screened in porch for added room. We have a 30 second walk to the lake to swim every day, and we have campfires every night. We go the the ocean beaches late in the afternoons when you don't have to pay to evplore and swim. The campground has kids activities every morning, bingo, dances, etc at night and on the weekend. We have a store and a snackbar within walking distance. We just love it. The kids and I go down to the Cape as soon as they get out of school, and my husband comes down as much as he can. As you can see it is "sissy camping" as we call it and I love it!

The closest to camping I've ever done is at our trailer on the other side of the state .. I'm not sure I'd want to sleep in a tent.. give me a motel/hotel room every time!!

I enjoy camping but prefer a nice hotel room instead thank you. It's been a while since I have been camping, the last time I went was in 1996.

"Urban camping" is my style, too. But we did camp a lot as kids. Mostly to the desert to ride SUV's and dune buggies, 'member those?

We went camping in Mexico once, one of the best vacations I can remember, in a regular camper.

I'm an urban camper at heart, but I do love to go out in a tent now and again with the following provisions: flushing toilets, hot showers and electrical outlets. Usually we go to the mountains, we have some beautiful ones out here. On occasion, we'll camp at the beach. Being a Girl Scout leader for five years helped me to rekindle my love of camping and of cooking over an open flame.

My dream is to one day tent camp at FW, followed by a week at the Polynesian, concierge, of course.

I've been camping a couple of times and I've even slept outside without a tent (and woke up with dew on my face in the morning!). That's taught me that I much prefer hotels or at least my own bed at home!

I love camping! I use to do it a lot when I was a kid. We'd trail ride with our horses and tent camp at night.

Now I camp with my kids in a small RV ... it has A/C, a microwave, and a shower and toilet inside. We also have a small b/w tv we can hook up, if we want (and have on rainy days). Mostly we still cook outside, do the marshmallow thing, and hike/swim/etc like other campers ... just not sleeping on the ground or in tents any more. DH is scared to death of waking up with a snake in his sleeping bag. He doesn't do snakes.

I kind of miss the tent camping. It's fun and I still have a tent but I never use it. I was the victim of a stalker about 5 years ago. I don't feel safe in a tent any more. I keep a gun in my RV and I will use it, if I have to, against an intruder. An "O.J. trial" type knife could make short work of most tents and even pop-up tent canvas. I guess if someone wants in bad enough, nothing is going to stop them though. It's a crazy world we live in.

I've camped in everything from an old canvas army tent to a 40 ft luxury RV. When I was a kid, my parents took us tent camping a few times then they bought a tent trailer that we camped in a few seasons. We also camped on our 26 ft sailboat in the San Juan islands which was really cramped but so much fun.

DH and I tent camped until we got our old camper a few years ago. We spent $2,000 for a 1968 camper that had a great heater, AC and a full bathroom with shower. That was nice, but now that we have DD we don't all fit in the truck. We've also camped in DH's dad's luxury motorhome and I have to say, that is the way to go! Now that we're selling our camper and truck we'll probably go back to tent camping for a season or two, unless we can borrow the big RV from time to time. We're hoping to get our own trailer or motorhome in the future.
