Okay, I am not into the outdoors unless it's to go hiking to see nature....my hubby & his family every summer use to go camping but there version of camping is a sleeping bag on the rock hard ground & a tent...to bathe they would jump into the freezing cold lake & they ate fish over a fire....You couldn't pay me enough, the only way you would get me out there would be a blow up mattress, a tent with a secure lock so no rodents or bugs could get in, a shower close by & a george foreman grill that runs on battery power...the reason I feel this is way is I know for a fact, this young lady was out camping & had a pinching bug crawl up inside her crotch while she was sleeping & she had to be taken to the hospital because it was pinching her on the inside & making her bleed...this bug was huge after it was killed & they pulled it out of her I have never seen a bug that big  ...also, when my inlaws went to a new spot in the middle of the night a skunk got into one of the bags of food unknown what kind of critter it was my father in law walked out to scare it away & got sprayed...So for me I will pass gimme a hotel with massage, hot tubs, pools, & room service any day!!

Years ago in the mountains of Washington state,some friends and I were on a 2 week camp out. We were all very experienced and trained in survival techniques. What we were not prepared for was the Mt, St. Hellens thing.

But there is nothing more peaceful then to wake up in the morning up in the mountains of West Virgina and see a deer real close by... or to hear nothing but the birds in the morning wake you up.. Oh and that nice fresh air....

Okay, well this is one time I can actually sound like less of a priss than someone else! I love camping, don't mind sleeping in a tent or on the ground, I LOVE cooking over an open fire, but it does kind of end there. Bugs - eh, gotta deal with them. But you'll never catch ME fishing and eating the day's catch...I'll shop in town at a store, where food was meant to come from, thankyouverymuch! No slow-roasted rabbit for me! That's just ew!
I will also say that, while I will use a body of water for rinsing, I do require showers an flush toilets for any camping trip that last more than one night. Pit toilets are just ew!
I love a nice hotel room, too, but nothing beats a good camping trip!

My idea of camping was when Hubby and I owned a 40 ft. Motor Home. Now granted we thought it was a Hummer because we took it places no moter home should have been but it got us away from the city, we met wonderful folks and more an an ocassional deer.
Rolling coffee...now that's what I like

My idea of roughing it is going someplace without cable. And to refer to "Themama" point. I have stayed a a friend's cabin tin Timberline, WV. It has a pool table, hot tub, fireplace, dishwasher, washer and dryer. One afternoon as I said with a glass of wine, in front of the fireplace, half way back in a recliner, I saw not one, not two but three deer in his front yard not 20 feet from the cabin. I love nature.

I used to love camping. Haven't done it in years though. Of course...the campsite I always liked was in Higgins Lake, can pitch a tent..have a campfire...and when you get up in the morning...a 10 minute hike to the SHOWERS!!!! And yes..there was even plumbing and flushing toilets. And a few fast food places about 5 miles or so up the road.
