Do you like camping?

Love it. I prefer primitive camping, but the rest of the family likes to have their accommodations such as running water in the state parks.

Love it, tent camping! My wife tried camping in a tent camper and hated it..she loves the tent camping too. We usually goto a lake where we can camp and bring the boat, either that or primitive camping! Love to be by ourselves with the kids and dogs.

The family and I love camping... we far from "rough-it" though. We have a 27 ft. Travel Trailer with shower, microwave, etc.

We have a family blog of our camping outings at http://www.thetorrences.com/. We mainly stay in the PA, NJ and MD areas.

Luv camping, don't get to do it enough of it. Camping in the snow is really fun if you're geared up right.

Born into it...

My parents tell me my first camping trip was when I was five months old. After that I went every summer. It was always car camping with a tent or tent-trailer. Every summer till I turned 16, then I was working all summer and didn't go with them - switched to camping with friends instead. Got into backpacking at 18 but did only one trip (five days in the Sierras), then went back to car-camping because of girlfriends.

I got back into backpacking in my mid 20's, especially when I lived in Reno because I was so close to the Sierras. Since meeting my wife it's been back to car camping (although she has backpacked in the past). Our son is old enough now that we're comfortable taking him so I expect a lot more camping trips in our future.

I've never stayed in an RV but dream of owning a Sportsmobile.
