I grew up camping. My parents were in a camping club with a bunch of friends when I was a kid. They were all younger couples with little kids so the most they could afford at the time was little pop-up trailers like you had. They were quite cozy though. I think we camped regularly from about the time I was a little baby to the time I was 16. I enjoyed it. It was a nice break from our rough and tumble suburban life. 😉

Now my dad's older and makes a lot more money so they've stepped up to the motorhome world and have a nice 31' model with all the slideouts and everything. They take it to football games and the occasional camping trip. My whole family used it a couple years ago for a two week trip out west to visit family in Colorado. It's a VERY cool way to see the country. Fortunately for me, I can now borrow their motorhome and take my wife and dog along with me and rough it in style. 😀
 
"roughing it," for mrs. spamela, means "no room service."

nevertheless, we're going camping this summer at emerald bay (lake tahoe) and the ocean.

I used to like tent camping, but a pop-up can make things so much nicer. In a rain storm nothing beats a nice floor and a dry bed. Plus they're so easy to tow and maintain.

The tacky lights, on the other hand...

Hey now......... How can you POSSIBLY pick on the tacky lights???!!! I thought it was a MORAL IMPERATIVE to set up tacky lights on one's camper awning?
 
Yeah, I am just jealous! We have a Coleman Cheyenne and have not yet filled it out with the obligatory "pop-up" warez like tacky lights. The next major things I'd like to add are the add-on room under the awning, a heater, and hot water.
 
I love camping - whether car camping or hiking in the middle of no-man's land. Haven't had much of a chance to go lately, though. I do have one big trip planned for this summer, and my girlfriend and I would like to take a short hiking trip before school starts again, too.

You really need to figure out what camping is. Campers are nice, but there is nothing better than sleeping under the stars!
 
When I was younger my family would go camping. One time it rained so bad that the tent was becoming flooded and the entire camp area was horrible mud. After that night we got a pop top and it was fun.

One time? That's it? 😛. I can't even count the number of times I've had to deal with storms, cold temps, even the occasional flood or tornado. And I still don't have a camper.

Just my idea of it. Then again, I can understand Geekbabe's POV also

Some people think they are race car drivers due to racing their friends in their respective riced out Geo Metros. Now, technically, they might be "racing" each other, and thus their cars could be race cars under a loose definition, they are in no real sense of the term "race car drivers"

Camping to me involves hiking into some backcountry (preferably with hills), eating whatever you carried in or managed to kill, and sleeping in a pup tent. There are no electrical devices involved (excluding, occasionally, a radio or a flashlight)... and there is definitely no indoor plumbing involved... the only indoor running water is when your tent floods
