My wife came about her distate for camping when she was young. She’s the oldest of five kids, and every year her family went camping in northern Wisconsin during deer season. She had all her normal chores she would have at home (consisting mostly of taking care of her younger sibs) without the benefit of running water or electricity.

I, on the other hand, have a lot of good memories of camping trips. As a kid, my family would do some sort of camping vacation every summer (dad was a high school teacher) and we visited a lot of parks in the western U.S. I was well into my 30’s before it occurred to me that we did trips like that because it was what we could afford!

Our accomodations got better as time wore on. I can remember a dilapidated tent trailer my dad bought which no longer had its tent; Dad would just secure a tarp to the hoops to give us a little protection (very little, especially if it rained) from the elements. Then we got another tent trailer which DID have a tent, followed by a slide-in camper. My folks currently have a 32’ fifth-wheel trailer which they pull behind an F250 turbodiesel.
