Grew up camping at a COE park on a Lake in central Arkansas - Dad loved to waterski.
Tent camped occasionally over the next 20 years including the Philippines, Guam, Antigua and Japan - along with Mississippi.
Moving back to the US, took my kids tent camping in Texas and Arkansas.
Met and married my wife who had tent camped some over her lifetime.
On a tent camping trip to Palo Duro Canyon SP about five years ago - the tent was blown over by the high winds one night, and we had to drive two miles to the bathroom.
Decided that night to get a trailer.
Now on our second, and will be full-time within a couple weeks. Best decision we ever made.
