My parents used to take their 2 week vacation primitive camping on Kerr Reservoir near Danville, VA. We had a huge canvas tent for the 7 of us, plus our Saint Bernard. Mom cooked on a Coleman stove.

There was no running water or electricity, just an outhouse up the road. We kids spent all day, every day in the water until we were sunburned and prune-y.
