Alas, I don't think camping is for us. Our camper is perfect for a couple, but a bit too snug for a family of four, especially with two growing kids who like their privacy. We are also far too enamored with indoor plumbing. I can see the appeal for folks who don't get out into nature often, but we live in the woods; the population at the campground was probably larger than our hometown. We ended up leaving a day early due to rain, and no one was particularly disappointed.
