I just got back from camping with my wife & kids, we meet up with my mother & father -N- Law & they had my nephews with them at the camp ground at Paintsville Lake State Park Cmpground (http://www.trails.com/tcatalog_trail.aspx?trailid=HGD174-044)
My -N-Laws have a "Pop-Up Camper" & I had my tent. the First night I slept in the tent by myself, everyone else piled in the camper (it has A/C), the 2nd night one of my boys & one of my nephews stayed in the tent with me. We had a good time fishing & riding bicycles & playing basket & volley ball. Sad thing about this is the number of people camping in Pullalong campers ! My FatherNLaw got the last spot open for his camper (32 campsites for campers 10 for tents) the tent area only had 3 tents & when it started getting hot everyone went inside to the AC & TV or whatever they have inside those trailers...Even the kids ! I went to the shade or to the lake & sipped on a bottle of cold water & relaxed until the eve & then everyone else started crawling back out of there mobile homes. When I was a kid & when we went camping, a pull along was rare to see & tents filled all the spots & people were out playing horse shoes & swimming...etc
Sorry for the long Rant...camping today, what has it come to ?
