Love this! I love to camp and have wonderful memories of going to Virginia with my dad, sister and (ex)husband. Sitting around the campfire with dozens of friends, drinking mugs of hot coffee and telling stories till the wee hours of the morning. Then cooking breakfast over a campfire and planning are adventure for the day. This is just perfect and i love to win. Thank you.

I must admit to not having been camping. I really enjoy going to cabins by the lake, which is admittedly not the same thing. However, I love to take hikes with my family, especially when I have my camera.

I have never been camping and never had the desire to go. I live in the country and get my fill of mosquitoes just being outside without camping out. My ideal campout is checking in to a hotel with a shower and nice soft bed.

My favorite part of camping is: there is really no favorite, I’ve been camping for 56 years and I enjoy everything, seeing different campgrounds,being out in the woods and looking at the nature that God has created for us. I enjoy sleeping in the wilderness, campfires, hiking the different trails,and eating different foods that you don’t usually fix at home and it seems like the food always taste better when camping, camping is my favorite part of summer.

I have not been camping in a long time, but when I use to go, I loved swimming in the lake, and fishing. I could never pull the fish off the hook, but I always got excited when I got a bite. :)

I love to go out to the mountains and woods and traipse around. Hiking is fun; so is rock climbing. I even like sitting around a campfire singing and watching the stars, or looking through a telescope. But once that’s done, it’s time to head home (or to a hotel) for a bath and bed. These bones do not like sleeping on the ground!

My favorite thing about camping even at my age( (61) is just being in nature. Sitting by a fire roasting marshmallows. Life is so crazy so any time I can just go and relax I am ready. You need to learn to take time for you and return to your childhood. My parents used to take us camping every weekend growing up. Great childhood memories.

My three favorite things about camping are the smell of the campfire, counting the stars at night and time to reflect and hope. Maybe the best thing is the campfire time😊. I started camping as a young girl and while it’s been years, whenever I smell that campfire smell it brings everything back. Love it!

Camping was always an adventure. I have fond memories of pulling off the road to find a secluded spot to camp while doing graduate research in Mexico. Never had any problems. Our most exciting campout occurred at the Kerrville Folk Festival when we discovered our tent wasn’t waterproofed during a 3am downpour. Fortunately, my husband and Zambian post-doctoral student were near by in a Travel-all. Very cozy sleeping that night.

We usually camp by the ocean and I love being by the water, going to sleep listening to the waves rolling in. There’s always a nice breeze, no matter how hot it is. Everyone in the campground is so friendly. It’s getting away to a whole different world than my usual life and I love it.

Would love to get out in the beautiful country here in the hilly ranch country of Nebraska. I’m in isolation for the foreseeable future, as I’m still in cancer treatment. Wish my brain and my hands would work well enough for me to sew. The doctors promise that it will start coming back soon after I discontinue treatment.

There’s not to much about camping I dont like. And this years theme for my little girls I sew for is CAMPING. so I have purchased lots of camo fabric and other items, and ccx working on patterns now. Such fun
My favorite part, besides uninterrupted time with family and fresh air, is cooking outside!! Everyone is always so hungry, and ccx the smell of bacon eggs and pancakes outside is unbeatable, plus all the bar b qued meats. Everyone is always so happy with tummies full and laying down to hear the fire crackle and view the stars up above!! Then a couple s’mores and sleep better then ever!!
