I gotta admit, you're delivery made me laugh. I thought of all the camping trips I've been on when this kind of crap happened. The worst is camping at a public campground and having the BOY SCOUTS show up and start setting up camp at 11pm (with flood lights), then blowing their bugles at 5am the next morning.

Camping is fun, when you do it right. Everyone else here is right: the right equipment makes all the difference...as does LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Damn d00d, camping is awesome.

A couple buds & i went camping in Jasper (teh Rockies) last month.

Every morning, we had to build a fire for eggs, bacon, etc. in the freezing cold (okay, it was about 0-3C, but still damn cold).
Then at night, we donned about 4 layers of clothing, & jumped into the sleeping bags under a blanket or two.

Simply awesome fun 😀
I love living off the basics 🙂

By "basics" I assume you mean chickens and pigs. 😛 (btw, I agree, that IS the best)

Camping is great, I don't know what's up with you. A friend and I took three weeks before our final year of college and camped across America. Route 2 from Michigan's upper peninsula and out to Walla Walla Washington, then followed the Columbia to US 1 and followed the coast down unto NorCal, freeway through SoCal in a day then into the Southwest and followed old US 66 back to Ohio. What a time. 🙂

Ding, ding. Don't forget lying under the stars naked with said girl.
 
Camping's fun, but you have to do it right.

The coldness can be solved with some planning, but the early birds.... not much can be done there. I just sleep in, usually.

first, go camp at a national park or something (less of a familiy land)
second, don't get your camping gear at wal-mart.
3rd, don't go camping with idiots.
 
I couldn't agree more. Camping SUCKS. If the ground isn't on a slant and you are warm, it will rain like all hell and you'll be all wet.

Don't camp in a public campground. Find some deep woods by a stream and camp. Far away from people.

I remember camping on a nice sofa mattress under the stars less than a 100 yards from four corners(four states intersect). No mosquito's or insects, almost no wind and I have never seen so many star's in my life. I will always remember that day over twenty five years ago when I was driving cross country seeing the United States.

You can not pay me to stay in a four star hotel in those days compared to that evening.
 
Camping in a campground (especially like that one) are for girly men. What you did is for ladies..... Thats not camping.
