We are not into summer camp as you are in the States with the big organised camps designed for children to attend but not with their parents.

We have camp sites for families or just groups of people to use for holidays. So have additional facilities but many are just a field and washing facilities and possibly a shop to buy food and a social club for evening entertainment.

Also organizations like Guides and Scouts go camping. This weekend which is Spring Bank Holiday Weekend in Britain many Brownie, Cubs, Scouts and Guides will be camping. In fact a lady from work helps run a Scout group and she has borrowed the company van to transport a lot of the equipment for the weekend camp.

I have been camping myself twice both as an adult at a folk festival (Fairport Convention). Here a friend is pitching her tent.

It's a hit and mostly miss type of thing. I am usually not around when the DOSE is posted, but sometimes I just get lucky.

GOOD to see you. I know you're busy.

That sounds awfully like the RV/Tent campground I go to once a year in July, here in Montana, up in Glacier International Peace Park, which stretches from northwest Montana up into Canada at the province of Alberta. :)

I camp at a campground just a little drive south of the town of East Glacier, which is the eastern gateway into the park.

The tent facilities are in the pine trees, and the RV's and campers set up in two large open fields (which are also horse pastures). It also has a community center for social activities, a shower facility, and there is a small shop at the main office.

Always GOOD to see you too onyx! Yep. I've been busy, busy, being a full-time caretaker to my grandmother. She absolutely loved my homemade spaghetti I made the other day. She's a meat and tater kind of eater, so cooking meals centered around meat and taters has been pretty easy thus far. She's got a light appetite, but she couldn't resist going back a third time for spaghetti. LOL!! She really grooves on my homemade blueberry pancakes, so I make a stack for her every morning, with a cup of my coffee to go with. I make a whole bunch of pancakes the night before, freeze them overnight and just nuke them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds.

I've been logging on so ya know I'm still around.

Very similar to our campsites except yours is obviously in much more beautiful settings.

Ours are often just an old field that sometime in the past a farmer did not have a use for anymore or some waste land near the coast which has been turned into a camp site.

Also popular are caravan campsites some that you can actual tow your small caravan to but others are permanent caravans all fully plumbed and have electricity TV etc. A friend of mine from work is going to one of those later this year with his wife and son and daughter in law and their 2 children for a week. As far as I know there will be an area for chilren, probably swimming pool and a social club.
