This is the magnet on the side of my fridge.
I don’t come from a camping family. Growing up, our idea of roughing it was staying in a hotel without a pool. We didn’t rough it much.
So, why do I camp now, you ask? Well, I camp for my kids. I want them to know what it’s like to cook breakfast outdoors.
I want my kids to roast marshmallows over the fire and make s’mores.
I want them to pick wild blackberries.
And I camp because the campground has this.
I love to organize, so when I found this camping checklist, I added it to my household notebook. After the trip we added a few more items to the list. That way next year we’ll be sure to have everything we need. The camping checklist came from the Organized Home website.
Tent camping isn’t too bad, but I’m fortunate enough to camp with my mother-in-law, who rents a small cabin in the campground. She has a Thousand Trails membership. If I have to camp, she’s the one to camp with. (Thanks, again, for a fun trip Grandma!)

My hat is off to you for doing this for your kids!! It isn't for everyone and making the sacrifice so they can experience is just awesome to me!!
The hubby and I have camped in a tent from the time the boys were babies until they were about 10! Great years and a lot of fun. Now we camp in a 5th wheel with air conditioning and TV. I LOVE it even more!

This is my idea of camping! My husband is trying to talk me into going camping this weekend. We'll see. 🙂

My kind of camping! Cute cabin and the food looks delicious.
BUT, I also enjoy truly roughing it with just a tent, a sleeping bag, and what I can carry in a backpack. Gotta do that soon!
